Accessing What God Has Provided
The Bible says “all things are possible to them that believe”, however, most
Christians believe that God can heal, but a lot are not walking in healing. The
problem being that most are not fully persuaded in the finished work of Jesus. Most
Christians believe that they are saved and will go to heaven when they die, even
though there is not any actual proof. No one has seen the book of life to see if their
name is in it, but by faith they know that they are saved. The word salvation means –
something saved, deliverance, hence, aid, victory, prosperity, health, welfare. The
same way they believe they are saved, is the same way they should believe that they
have a covenant with God (we have to know what all that is provided to us through
this covenant) and that He has provided them with all things (II Peter 1:3) “according
as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,
through the knowledge of Him that has called us to glory, and virtue”, and (Romans 8:
32) “He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not
with Him also freely give us all things”, and (Psalms 35:27b) “let the Lord Yahweh be
magnified, which has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant”, (III John 2) “beloved,
I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul
prospers”. These scriptures clearly shows us God’s will is not for us to be sick or
improvised. God tells us in Exodus 15:26 “if you will diligently hearken to the voice of
the Lord Yahweh your God, and will do that which is right in His sight, and will give
ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases
upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians for I am the Lord that heals you”.
The Bible tells us that “He is the same, yesterday, today and forever”.
What does God require of us. We do have a responsible in working with God. Jesus
tells us in Matthew 6:33 “but, seek you first the kingdom of God, and His
righteousness and all these things shall be added to you”; however most people are
seeking the stuff, before they even know what He wants them to do. God sets things
in order, and we have a responsible. Our responsible is to believe and speak His
words concerning our circumstances. Speaking from a believing heart. Everything
you need is accessed through a seed (the word of God is seed). The word says in
Genesis 8:22 “while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and
summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease”. Study and meditate on the
solution to your problems, and speak what God says about it. Just as Jesus spoke in
the wilderness “it is written” then countered everything that satan was trying to bring
on Him (Matthew 4:3-11). The very finest of God is yours, if you believe and speak
it. Jesus said “I only speak what I have heard My Father speak”.
We have to know that our harvest has already been commanded. God wants to
bless us, He gets pleasure in blessing us. Everything is received must be done by
faith. If it isn’t now, it isn’t faith. Faith locks hold to what God has said and brings God
in remembrance of His word. Not because God forgets, but to strengthen us when
we are going through.
We must learn to be Spirit led. James tells us to “count it all joy when we fall into
problems”, then tells us “if we lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men
liberally, and upbraids not, and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing
wavering, for he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and
tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord” (James
1:3-7). The devil sends doubt into people’s minds, trying to get them off their faith.
You see faith and doubt works in the opposite. Faith draws you into God and fear
draws you away from God. Remember we are to “be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.
Whom resist steadfast in the faith” (I Peter 5;8-9a).
We have to exercise our faith. Jesus said over and over “your faith has made you
whole”. The woman with the issue of blood is one example (Mark 5:25-34) “and a
certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years. And had suffered many
things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing better,
but rather grew worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and
touched His garment. For she said, if I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole.
And immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that
she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself, that
virtue had gone out of Him, turned Him about in the press, and said, who touched My
clothes. And His disciples said to Him, You see the multitude thronging You and say
You, who touched Me? And He looked round about to see her that had done this
thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came
and fell down before Him, and told Him all the truth. And He said to her daughter,
your faith has made you whole, go in peace and be whole of your plague”. She
reached out with her faith, knowing the scripture in Malachi 4:2 “but to you that fear
My name shall the Son of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings”. Jesus told
Jairus “be not afraid, only believe” when he heard the bad news that his daughter
was dead. And Jesus was able to raise her up, because Jairus held his peace and
spoke on doubt (Mark 5:35-42).
Just as Abraham became fully persuaded and when God told him to sacrifice Isaac,
believed that if he did, God was going to have to raise him up, because God
promised him that in Isaac would his seed be (Hebrew 11:17-19). The good thing we
can look forward to is that Abraham didn’t start out fully persuaded, he went into
Egypt and lied that Sari was his sister, because he was afraid, and he agreed to have
a baby with Sari handmaid, but after God changed his name and he began saying
what God was saying,, his name Abraham means “a father of many nations”, so
every time he said his name he was agreeing with God.
Don’t look at what happens in other people’s life and form a conclusion that God
doesn’t heal today. He still heals, and healing is available to “whosoever will say to
this mountain. Be you removed and be you cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in
his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass, he
shall have whatsoever he says” (Mark 11:23). Some people continue doing what
made them sick, some have doubt in their heart, some have unbelief, some have
unforgiveness in their heart about some one and faith works by love (Mark 11:26)
“but if you do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your
trespasses”.
Jesus said “verily verily, I say to you, he that believes on Me, the works that I do, shall
he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to My Father”
(John 14:12). But many people can’t see themselves doing this. You have to see it
in the spiritual realm in order for you to see it in the natural realm.
