Why
Jesus Must Heal Every Christian
and The Eight Healing Delivery Vehicles He Uses To Do It
The
death of Christ relates back in time to two great covenants in the Old
Testament, the Abrahamic covenant and the Mosaic Law covenant. Many view
Moses' Law as distinct and separate from the Abrahamic covenant, but it is
not. According to the New Testament, Moses' Law was added to the Abrahamic
covenant until the death of Christ. That being the case, we must ask two
questions; namely, what is the relationship between the Law and the
Abrahamic covenant, and what does this have to do with our subject,
"Why Jesus Must Heal Every Christian." Here are the answers.
Why
Jesus Must Heal Every Christian
In
the Abrahamic covenant, God promised the human race some staggering
things. Beginning with Abraham, God promised him, his physical
descendants, and ultimately the whole human race, salvation for their
soul, healing for their body, prosperity for their pocketbook, and well
being for their families. In the New Testament era, we Christians are
grafted into that same, identical Abrahamic system, so that what God
promised Abraham belongs to every Christian reading these words.
Every
Christian, therefore, is entitled (right now) to healing for his body,
prosperity for his pocketbook, and well being for his families in addition
to salvation for his soul. These are the promises God made to Abraham, his
physical seed, and prophetically, the Gentiles. See my book, What Are
Abraham's Blessings, Anyway?
About
four hundred thirty years later, God added the Law to that Abrahamic
covenant to deal with the sins of Abraham's physical descendants. In
addition, He dealt with their sins in such a way that Abraham's seed did
not lose their blessings of salvation for their soul, healing for their
body, prosperity for their pocketbook, and well being for their family. In
other words, God added the Law to deal with their sin problem in a way
that enabled them to maintain their Abrahamic Blessings of healing,
prosperity and family well being, in addition to the salvation of their
soul.
Many
view Moses' Law as a vehicle designed purely to make somebody guilty. For
them, God designed it to bring guilt and damnation upon everybody by
dreaming up a bunch of "thou shalt nots" that nobody can
perform, making it a "ministration of death" and an
"instrument of damnation." It would have been, had God not
placed a sacrificial system with it. Built into the Law, however, God
included a sacrificial system; consequently, when a Jew sinned in the Old
Testament, he simply made the right sacrifice in the right spirit and the
Abrahamic blessings of healing, prosperity, family well being and
salvation continued in full force for him with no interruption.
To
put it differently, God added the Law to Abraham's covenant so that He
could deal with the sin problem and at the same time maintain the
blessings in that covenant for the seed of Abraham. To put it another way,
He said that thou shalt not do such and such and that thou shalt do such
and such. If someone broke a particular Law and made the proper sacrifice,
the four Abrahamic blessings cited above, continued without interruption
for that person.
However,
if a Jew committed a sin and did not perform the proper sacrifice in the
right spirit, the blessings of Abraham shut down (immediately ceased) for
him, then and there. He lost his healing, prosperity, the well being for
his family and his salvation until he made the proper sacrifice. When he
repented of his sin and demonstrated his repentance by sacrificing
properly, the blessings of Abraham started over for him, beginning with
the very moment of his sacrifice.
When
Jesus came, He became the final sacrifice for sin under Moses' Law.
Therefore when a Jew receives Christ as his final sacrifice for sin under
Moses' Law, the blessings in the Abrahamic covenant continue for him
without interruption. He keeps what he had from birth in the Abrahamic
covenant; namely, healing for his body, prosperity for his pocketbook,
well being for his family and the salvation of his soul.
However,
the Jew who does not accept Jesus as God's final sacrifice for sin under
Moses' Law, but chooses rather to stay with the sacrifice of the blood of
bulls and goats, loses all the blessings he was born with in the Abrahamic
covenant because God no longer accepts the blood of bulls and goats.
That Jew is as lost and on the road to hell as any Gentile heathen who
ever lived. See this author's book, What've They Done With Abraham's
Blessings?
When
a Gentile accepts Christ as his personal savior, he is grafted into the
same Abrahamic covenant. He has, by grafting, the same salvation, healing,
prosperity and well being for his family that the Jew has had since the
book of Genesis. By grafting, we Gentile Christians become Abraham's seed.
(I call them The Abrahamic Seed Group.) In addition, Gentiles are
grafted into the Abrahamic blessing system on an equal footing with the
Jews. Now, we are all, both Jew and Gentile, living and operating in the
Abrahamic blessings. For a complete explanation of Gentile grafting, see
my book, The Unbroken Force of Abraham's Blessings.
Jesus
Did Six Things To Moses' Law Which Abolished It
The
death of Christ was God's final sacrificial death for sin. His death
ratified the Abrahamic covenant, on the one hand, and abolished the Mosaic
Law covenant on the other hand. Actually, Jesus did six things to Moses'
Law which abolished it. See the two passages below.
Eph
2:14-16
14
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the
middle wall of partition between us;
15
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments
contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so
making peace;
16
And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having
slain the enmity thereby: (KJV)
Col
2:14
14
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was
contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; (KJV)
From
the above Scriptures, we can see the six things Jesus did to the Law in
his death.
(1)
He broke it down.
(2)
He abolished it.
(3)
He slew it.
(4)
He blotted it out.
(5)
He took it out of the way.
(6)
He nailed it to his cross.
So
the death of Jesus related to these two great institutional covenants of
the Old Testament, the Abrahamic covenant and the Mosaic Law covenant. In
his death, Jesus ratified one and abolished the other. In my book, How
To Obtain Healing and Prosperity When You Don't Feel Worthy Enough, I
give you a complete, faith building explanation of the above.
Since
Jesus' death ratified the Abrahamic covenant, which granted us healing for
our bodies, it only makes sense that the Scriptures ought to spell it out,
over and over, that (because of this ratification) God's will, for us, is
our complete healing at all times. Do the Scriptures spell this out over
and over? In point of fact, the Scriptures do spell it out.
They
spell it out by showing us that God has at least eight ways that He heals
us. In this work, we refer to these eight ways as his Healing Delivery
Vehicles. Of these eight Healing Delivery Vehicles, only one of
them, "the anointing", requires nothing on the part of the one
being healed. The other seven all require an act of faith on the part of
the one being healed. Consequently, we must divide God's Healing
Delivery Vehicles into two distinct sections or parts.
Part
One contains no requirement at all for the one being healed. Part Two of
God's "Healing Delivery Systems" requires an act of faith on the
part of the one being healed. In the next few pages all eight of them are
listed along with their Scripture references. Furthermore, your required
act of faith is described for all seven of them.
Part
One of God's Eight Healing Delivery Vehicles
Healing
Delivery Vehicle #1
God
delivers your healing through his anointing (Acts 19: 11-12) and the gifts
of healing (1 Corinthians 12: 8-11).
Acts
19:11-12
11
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12
So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons,
and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of
them. (KJV)
1
Cor 12:9
9
..to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; (KJV)
Keep
firmly fixed in your mind that this is the only way God heals which does
not require an act of faith on the part of the one being healed. This is
the "famed" anointing we emphasize so much in our Charismatic
churches. But in our emphasizing it, we have made it dangerous. It is
dangerous because we have left the impression to the uninitiated that if
one is not healed in one of our great healing meetings, then all is lost.
We have left two wrong impressions: God does not love them, and it is not
God's will for them to be healed. So they give up. When they give up, they
will die if their sickness is serious enough.
The
leadership in today's healing movement and ministry must change this
terrible mistake of stressing the anointing to the exclusion of God's
other seven Healing Vehicles. We must place as much stress and emphasis on
two Bible truths; namely, that the anointing is only one of eight ways God
heals, and that no one controls it. We must emphasize that the anointing
is sovereign. It is under God's exclusive control. No one can coax or
coerce Him into touching and healing a specific person with it. It is
absolutely under his sovereign control.
In
other words, God grants some people a miraculous healing by the anointing.
It appears to me, however, that He passes by most of them in the great
healing meetings, leaving a huge number of people not healed. Moreover,
the greatness and reputation of the man of God conducting the anointing
meeting matters not; you cannot rely on the anointing to touch you.
Although God may touch and heal others sitting right beside you, He may
not touch and heal you with his miraculous anointing.
You
cannot depend on this anointing. But you can always depend on the other
seven Healing Delivery Vehicles. They must always work. They must always
deliver your healing, and they always do just that. They always deliver
the healing contained in them for every Christian.
I
appeal to the leadership in the healing ministries. Place as much teaching
and emphasis on the other seven ways that God heals his children as you do
concerning the anointing that you do not and cannot control. Too many of
God's children die prematurely because we overemphasize the anointing to
the exact degree we under-emphasize the other seven Healing Delivery
Vehicles.
Part
Two of God's Eight Healing Delivery Vehicles
In
Part Two, each of the seven Healing Delivery Vehicles (presented below)
requires an act of faith on the part of the one being healed. Through one
or more of these seven Healing Delivery Vehicles, Jesus must heal every
Christian. He does not have to heal any Christian with the miraculous
anointing and/or the gifts of healings. Since He does not have to heal
anybody with the anointing, shouldn't we, the leaders in the healing
ministries, plainly declare this fact, so there could never be any
misunderstanding about it?
Healing
Delivery Vehicle #2
God
delivers your healing through the laying on of hands.
Mark
16:18
18
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall
not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (KJV)
Your
act of faith is very simple in this Healing Delivery Vehicle. Just lay
your hands on the sick person and say, "In Jesus' Name, Heal!"
If you are the sick one, you may choose to get a believer to do it for
you.
Healing
Delivery Vehicle #3
God
delivers your healing with his anointing oil combined with the prayer of
faith.
Mark
6:13
13
And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick,
and healed them. (KJV)
James
5:14-16
14
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let
them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him
up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may
be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
(KJV)
Your
act of faith to activate this Vehicle is also very simple. Anoint the sick
one with oil and ask God, based on His own Word, to heal him/her. If you
are the sick one, have someone (the elders) do it for you. For a simple
step by step guide to obtaining the healing God promised to you in the
Abrahamic covenant, see our book, How To Obtain Abraham's Blessings.
Healing
Delivery Vehicle #4
God
delivers your Healing by your believing and then speaking his Word.
Mark
11:23
23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be
thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his
heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to
pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (KJV)
Your
part in this is to command (using Jesus' name) a sickness to leave your
body or the body of a loved one. You will have whatsoever you say. The
healing may not occur with just one command. If not, command it to go
several times, even hours, days or weeks. You will win if you do not stop
until the victory comes. The last chapter in this author's book, How To
Exercise God's Megaton Power Now, gives practical, complete
instructions in how to wage a protracted war against a sickness and win.
Healing
Delivery Vehicle #5
God
delivers your Healing through the agreement on earth by two or more
people.
Matt
18:19-20
19
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching
any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father
which is in heaven.
20
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the
midst of them. (KJV)
Your
part here is to get a believer to agree with you about your healing or the
healing of a loved one. Be sure the one you get to agree with you is, in
fact, a believer and not one who just gives lip service to it. This
subject is covered completely, in my book, How To Obtain Abraham's
Blessings.
Healing
Delivery Vehicle #6
God
delivers your Healing by your believing that you receive it when you pray.
Mark
11:24
24
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (KJV)
"Believe",
in Scripture, means to "walk out what the Scripture says." In
this case, your part is to "act like it has happened", even
before your healing occurs. In other words, make plans for your future
just as though your sickness is already a thing of the past. This is Bible
"believing." Also see How To Obtain Abraham's Blessings.
Healing
Delivery Vehicle #7
God
delivers your healing through the LORD's Supper when you understand it and
receive it by faith.
1
Cor 11:26-30
26
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the
LORD's death till he come.
27
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord,
unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink
of that cup.
29
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation
to himself, not discerning the LORD's body.
30
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. (KJV)
Your
part in this one is to understand the difference between the LORD's
body and His blood. His blood was given for the remission of your
sins. His body was broken for your physical healing. Take the LORD's
Supper with this distinction in mind, and as you do, God will actualize in
your body the healing procured by the breaking of Christ's body. My book, What've
They Done With Abraham's Blessings? covers this subject completely.
Healing
Delivery Vehicle #8
God
delivers your healing through using Jesus' Name like a battering ram and a
sledge hammer.
John
14:13-14
13
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (KJV)
Acts
3:1-8
1
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer,
being the ninth hour.
2
And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid
daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of
them that entered into the temple;
3
Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4
And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5
And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I
thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his
feet and ankle bones received strength.
8
And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the
temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. (KJV)
Your
part here is simply to command the sickness to go. The root meaning of the
word ask in both John 14: 13-14 is "command." When these
words are used in relationship with a "thing" or a
"whatsoever", they should be translated "command".
When these words are used in relationship with God, they should be
translated "ask in the strongest manner possible." We do not command
God, but we are authorized to command things, "in Jesus'
Name".
Therefore,
since sickness is a "thing" and a "whatsoever," your
part in this is simply to command the sickness to go, "in
Jesus' Name." Keep on commanding the sickness until it is
gone. Many sicknesses require you to keep on commanding them for a
period of time before you completely win the battle. But start now and
keep on commanding it untill you achieve complete victory in Jesus'
Name. Most healings, in Vehicles #2 through #8, are a process of war,
requiring an extended period of time. See chapter two in How To Obtain
Abraham's Blessings.
