Divine Health Beats Divine Healing

DIVINE HEALTH TRUMPS DIVINE HEALING...

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

Let us make a covenant to KEEP THE DIVINE LAWS AS BEST WE CAN...

I. UNDER HIS FEET... UNDER CONTROL... A BETTER PLAN...

2 Samuel 22:39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not

arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

Psalm 8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast

put all things under his feet:

Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

A. There is a plan that is better than fixing what is broken...

The best plan is to TAKE CARE of things before they are broke...

B. God has made plans for His people.

God knows His peoples' natures and tendencies...

C. HEALING is part of God's plan...

But God has a BETTER PLAN THAN HEALING...

IT IS CALLED DIVINE HEALTH...

Exodus 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and

wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all

his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the

Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Deuteronomy 7:15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none

of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all

them that hate thee.

II. HEALING IS JUST AS MUCH PART OF GOD'S PLAN IS AS SALVATION...

AS THEY KILLED JESUS THERE WAS PART OF THE TREATMENT THAT

PURCHASED OUR HEALING... BY HIS STRIPES...

A. God knows that we humans will get sick from time to time.

B. Even great men in the Bible had seasons of sickness they had to over come.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the

chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel

to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives,

and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

C. SICKNESS CAN BE A MAJOR TESTING AREA.

So God provides healing for His people...

Psalm 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

Psalm 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

III. GOD HAS 12 DIVINE RULES... THEY ARE DIVINE LAWS...

IF YOU BREAK LAWS THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES...

A. WE HAVE LAWS FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF THE PEOPLE...

B. Abiding by the laws will make us better and the group better.

C. THERE OUR SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES TO BREAKING THE LAWS...

D. SELDOM ARE CONSEQUENCES IMMEDIATE...

TOLERANCE OR BUILDING UP, LASTING EFFECTS...

E. THE BREAKING OF THE DIVINE HEALTH LAWS MEANS YOU WILL

PAY THE PRICE...

F. PRAY ALL YOU WANT, YOU WILL HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY IN MAINTAINING

DIVINE HEALTH.

G. You have a responsibility to OBEY THE RULES...

1. THE FIRST DIVINE RULE IS SANITATION / CLEANLINESS...

Leviticus 13:6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the

plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall

pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

Isaiah 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine

eyes; cease to do evil;

Wash your body Wash your clothes

Use clean water Clean food

Keep your house clean

2. DIVINE LAW: STERILIZATION WHEN EXPOSED:

GERM FREE, (Numbers 19:11, Numbers 31:22-23)

Leviticus 11:32 And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be

unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it

be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even;

so it shall be cleansed.

Leviticus 11:39 And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase

thereof shall be unclean until the even. 40 And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash

his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash

his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

3. DIVINE LAW: QUARRANTINE: ISOLATE SICKNESS...

A. HAD TO LEAVE THE CAMP (Leviticus 13 & 14)

B. Process to make sure you were clean...

C. Remember Miriam... 7 DAYS OUT OF THE CAMP
