Our Month Of Healing

With great delight I welcome you to the month of June, our Month of Healing. Any one that has survived these past four months of Coronavirus and global death must know for sure that it is not by power or by might but by the mercy of God generated and engineered by the Holy Ghost.

With the Coronavirus and other factors many are now sick, mentally, physically, financially and emotionally. That is why our God is saying He is available to heal. Let your prayer this month be like that of Jeremiah: “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.” Jer 17:14. I learnt over 800 people have committed suicide in Nepal in the past few months. A closed mouth is a closed destiny. The bible declares that by the stripes of Jesus Christ we are healed and you know Jesus is still alive and is ready to heal now. Instead of committing suicide and other atrocities, declare to yourself “this is my month of healing”. “The Lord is healing me now”. “My marriage is healed”. “My spouse, ministry, business, mind, life is healed”. “My parents are healed”. “My children are healed”. God is still in the business of healing if only you can believe. Tap into the grace of healing now.

I see God healing you now. I see God healing our land and our nations. I see Coronavirus and it’s evil disappearing from our planet. In the month of healing be healed in Jesus name! Healing is not only your portion (Ex 23:25, Matt 15:26) healing is your new normal in Jesus’ name.

What is healing? Healing is the process of making or becoming sound or healthy again. Healing is to make healthy, whole, or sound; restore to health; free from ailment. Healing is to bring to an end or conclusion, as conflicts between people or groups, usually with the strong implication of restoring former amity; to settle, to reconcile. Biblically healing is through divine intervention in response to prayer or generally because of faith.

Facts about Healing.

From Christianity Today online magazine we learnt that two important point about healing:

Healing comes from God. No Scripture condemns the legitimate use of doctors or medical science, but one of the names of God is Jehovah-Rapha meaning “the Lord who heals.” The Father has the power to heal the whole person. • Spiritually (Psalm 103:2-3; Jeremiah 3:22; 1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:5) • Physically (2 Kings 5:10; Isaiah 38:15-16; Psalm 41:3; Psalm 107:19-20; Matthew 14:14) • Emotionally (Psalm 34:18) • Mentally (Daniel 4:34). Healing also comes through the agency of the Holy Spirit working through believers’ spiritual gifts (Acts 3:1-13a). Jesus healed “every disease and sickness among the people” in Galilee (Matthew 4:23), Judea (Matthew 19:1-2), and everywhere He went (Mark 6:56) to authenticate He’s the Messiah (John 7:31) and to give Israel a taste of the kingdom (Luke 11:20).

2. The gift of healing is biblical. The Holy Spirit gives gifts to the Church (1 Corinthians 12:8-11), like the gift of healing (1 Corinthians 14:1). God knows best and He distributes the gift of healing according to His will (Hebrews 2:4). Besides honoring God and glorifying Jesus, healing is also for the common good of the Church (1 Corinthians 12:7). Healings are also a strong sign the reign of death will come to a redemptive end (Romans 5:17; 8:20-21). Jesus healed while proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom (Matthew 4:23) and gave His disciples and others power and authority to heal diseases as they also proclaimed the kingdom of God (Luke 9:1-2; 10:1-9). It’s wise to distinguish between physical and spiritual healing.

How do I receive my healing? The purpose of this article is not just for intellectual acquisition or exercise, it is to enable you primarily to receive your healing now! So, pray along as you read this and apply the principles shared. The subject of healing is broad and diverse. The most important need of every human being is good health. You cannot talk about spirituality to a dead person. That is why the maxim “health is wealth” is very important. Most people will go to any length to ensure they secure their health. The woman with the issue of blood we are told had spent all that she had (Matt 9:20-22). Nations spend billions of dollars to sustain healing of their citizens. In 2019, total health expenditure in Canada reached $264 billion, or $ 7,068 per person.

There are two broad ways of healing in scripture, preventive and reactive. The preventive, the scripture declares “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.” Ex 15:26. That level is for those who can say in the thick and the thin they stand in faith. And God honours it. I thank God I have enjoyed that for the six decades of my life and hope to enjoy it for the rest of my life. I have not had cause to use any medication. It does not mean those people in that category do not get sick, it just means that when they are sick they trust God for healing and God honours that trust. For instance, when I am sick I go to my doctor for checkup and carry out the test he recommends. However, when he prescribes medication, I ask God for divine healing. I remember many years ago I was told I had malaria 3+, I challenged God to heal me and he did.
