Healing is in the Covenant..by David Mazurk
Healing is the right of every believer, it has been given to all who believe.
Healing is included in salvation. The word translated saved is a Greek word "Sozo".
Sozo means to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): - heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole.
It is the word used in John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
It is the right for every believer to be delivered from sickness, healed physically and emotionally, and to do well, or prosper. We have fallen short in many of the blessings that our Loving Father has given to us because we have not understood the ALL of God.
His word to us as an oath states Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12.
And in another place,For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:13
This word is sure, it is truly the word of God. Therefore anything that exalts itself against this word is untrue. This would mean, any sickness that tries to come to you, must be withstood by His word in your mouth. You have the legal right to rebuke sickness, disease and any other attack coming against you that is in opposition to God's word.
Jesus has given you all the authority in Heaven and earth to use His Name and His word as the weapons of our warfare. To do anything less, is to accept defeat.
Some other scriptures that use the word sozo, are Luke 8:36 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. Also Luke 17:19. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. In these scriptures the word sozo was translated healed and whole respectively.
These scriptures show how healing is for the mind, and for the body. In one the healing was for a man tormented by evil spirits, and the other for a man tormented by sickness. Both of these situations were from the devil.
How do we know this?
Because it says plainly in the Word of God in 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Also Jesus Himself declares that, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise."
So we see from scripture that Jesus was doing His fathers will. The Fathers will is to heal. Jesus walked in the revealed will of God for all mankind. Everyone that came to Him was healed. Jesus never turned anyone away. He never said, "O, today I'm not healing you, I just think you should suffer until you learn what My Father has to teach you."
God does not teach His children through sickness. No no no.
The Holy Spirit is the teacher, and the revealer of God's Word. If the devil is trying to give you a sickness, it is your right to rebuke that liar and claim what Jesus has done for you through the Cross.
Jesus took those stripes for your healing. He took those stripes for all, everyone and anyone, to experience their healing. Isaiah 53:5 says, "and with His stripes we are healed."
Any one who teaches that God gave them a sickness, is contradicting God's word. God cannot and will not make you sick. He cannot give you something that He does not have Himself. There is no sickness in Heaven. Therefore, if you understand this, you cannot say God gives sickness. God is Holy, Righteous, and True, and He wants to prosper you as your soul prospers.
3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
This verse talks about how we may live healthy, strong and prosperous lives. It says as a qualifier, even as thy soul prospereth. This means that as we learn what the Word of God teaches, we will walk into a greater anointing for breakthrough. The definition of soul is: mind, will and emotions. To see what this verse says is crucial for understanding how to be an overcomer. As our mind is healed from false doctrines and theories, then we will step into the fulness of what God intends for each believer.
We need a regeneration of the mind, a washing of the mind with the Word. True scriptural understanding of the Word will bring deliverence in all areas of your life. Ask God for wisdom and understanding when you read His word. The natural, carnal mind is at enmity (fights) against the Truth. It is only when you want to learn and open yourself up to the Holy Spirit's teachings that wisdom comes.
Feed on scripture, surround yourself with believers that will take you higher, not drag you down. Feed on the good solid word. Stand on the word of faith, word of life, and the word of healing; promises found in the scriptures. Don't let unbelief keep you from your promised land. Be like Joshua, take the land. Don't let the ten spies that rise up against your report steal your promises. Stand firm and enter in with those that believe the same. Amen!
