DIVINE HEALTH

It is very common in Christian circles, at least in certain denominations to believe in God’s healing power. We have various scriptures that promise us God’s deliverance from sickness and disease. A short collection of foundational healing reference scripture are listed as follows:

Exodus 23:25-26
25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. KJV

Psalm 107:19-20
19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. 20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. KJV

Isaiah 53:4-5
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
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. KJV

And Matthew 8:16-17
16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. KJV

And 1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. KJV

There are still many more healing scriptures but my point is proven in the mouth of at least two or three scriptures (2 Corinthians 13:1) that God desires for you to be healed. Beginning in the Law of Moses unto the New Testament of Christ Jesus we can see the holy scriptures of God indicating His Divine Will to heal man. This is great news to all people because it settles the question of people being punished by God in some form of sickness or disease. We know that Jesus came to bring God’s Will to the earth and God’s Will is His good will toward men.

Luke 2:10-14
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. KJV

Jesus not only brought us current revelation about God’s thoughts toward us but Jesus also showed us how to appropriate God’s Will. Remember in John 10:10 Jesus said, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” This is another witness (record) that God’s Will was sent to the earth not only for our knowledge but also for our experience. It is good to know that God Loves us and wants us to be healed, but it is better to know that God wants us to be healed abundantly. As Angela states, “To walk in divine health”. That may take some extra meditation by some people so I will explain. Angela and I believe that you can walk in divine health to the place where you do not need to pray for healing. Don’t get us wrong we are not saying that we are always there but we are saying that we have experienced glimpses of this bright light (belief) as a reality in our life at various times. This is a faith proposition, you have the choice to believe in the Goodness of God to the level of your own personal faith in God. Therefore, if you can believe that divine health is attainable while you are here on this earth, you are least in the proper state of mind to experience this joyful freedom in Christ while upon the earth. Angela and I believe that a lot of Christians that will believe in divine health when they are in Heaven and with that assumption why not start believing in that truth today, while you are here on the earth. We know sickness does not come from God so why not resist all sickness at one time rather than certain sicknesses at certain times. We read earlier in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus took all our infirmities (weaknesses) and all our sicknesses (and diseases) so that we would not have to bare them. So it is not too far-fetched to believe that you have no sickness and diseases in your body today and forever. I did not say that everyone believes this truth but the option is already given by God to mankind for everyone to believe it. That is, if they will to believe it! Since the Gospel of Jesus (The Good News of Healing and Salvation) was presented to Angela and I freely, we feel Love bound to present these same truths to you and anyone who is open to hear God’s Good news about Jesus Stripes. This foundation truth will help you to renew your mind to the place where you solely believe God’s Word. If you whole heartedly believe God’s word as truth you are probably already experiencing God’s goodness.

This foundational truth about healing must be accepted by you
to be effective inside of you.

First, it starts with a humble heart change from God. Then, the constant renewing of your mind by the Word of God. After that, the full manifestation of God’s healing because the Word of Healing will bear the fruit of natural healing in your body. Notice this progression in Mark 4:26-29

26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. KJV

We understand the biblical principle of progression from the previous verses because it stated, “So is the kingdom of God”. This principle teaches us that the kingdom of God is created and fulfilled by purpose. We must place the right seeds in our garden and given proper attention and care they will come up in due season. No one can ever explain the exact time of harvest for every seed but we can all agree that a harvest will come if you plant first, then water and nurture those seeds. All the earth sings of this truth. For the grass to grow when given sunlight and water is normal. The trees grow without much care from men naturally, so why would God’s Word be any different. Yes, dear child of God when you plant God’s Word into your heart by believing His Promise, the Word will produce fruit when properly watered by your confession of faith. Notice this same progression in Mark 16:15-20

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
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.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. KJV

If you are a disciple of Christ Jesus, or we could say a Believer, God is working with you also to bring to pass His Word in your life. This is a process but it is a truth that should be accepted by all men, women and children all over the world. The scriptures decree that you were healed by the stripes of Jesus. If you were healed then you are healed. Inside of you is the scripture that stated you were healed is fulfilled on this day, so enjoy your inheritance in Christ Jesus. Remember, you are the healed so boldly decree your position in Christ, because your proclaimed position in Christ Jesus is what determines your experienced inheritance in the Lord. Jesus died so that you would be saved. Likewise, Jesus took upon Himself the stripes of all sickness so that you could receive His bought and paid for healing. Also, Jesus bore the pain of mankind so that you could live a life of total comfort. So rejoice and be exceedingly glad because you are always healed. You were healed way back at the Cross of Calvary so with that in mind you can easily believe that you will always be healed. Since you were born of your very own mother and father you will always be their child. Since you were born a female you will always be a female, yes, forever. Those that were born males will always be a males. Those that are born of Spanish heritage will always be of Spanish descent. Hear us, Oh Church of Christ, it is impossible to undo that which was already done by Jesus. Therefore since Jesus bore all your pain, you ought to be in Divine comfort. Since Jesus took upon Himself all your sickness you are suppose to be living in Divine Health. Since Jesus already defeated death you shall live forever because you are abiding in Divine Life. All this goodness of God’s Great Salvation is materialized and enjoyed by God’s Grace through faith so rejoice in the Wonderful Name of Jesus. Let this next statement be a strong hold in your mind by meditating and confessing this concept as a normal part of your life.

I AM THE HEALED, I ENJOY GOD’S DIVINE HEALTH
INSIDE OF ME AND MANIFESTED IN MY PHYSICAL BODY
IN JESUS NAME!

Believing plants and keeps planted,

Remember my faith friend that you are healed. Start with that foundation then all you have to do at various times in your life is resist sickness. Know that the more developed you become in this truth the easier it will be to walk in Divine Health. God’s total Light is so good it is obvious, even to human reasoning, that the more power of God’s light you have illuminating your spirit and soul the less influence darkness can have upon you or in your body. Likewise, the more fruit of healing you grow in your inner man, the less production of sickness or disease can take place in your outer man (the physical body).

Remember the seed always starts inside the ground and grows up until it’s fruit is visible outside the ground. Likewise, you must plant God’s Word inside of your heart (the inner man) to experience the Healing Power of God on the outside of your heart (in your physical body).

I know the enemy will try to plant thoughts of doubt in your heart by bringing pictures (thoughts) of preachers or ministers or good people who may of died with a sickness or disease, but your eyes are suppose to be upon Jesus. If you are such a weak Christian that you gravitate toward modeling mere carnal men your faith in God is polluted. Angela and I are not asking you to watch us or any other human, we are encouraging you to focus on the Divine Jesus. Particularly for this article the thirty-nine stripes upon His Broken Body for you to participate in Divine Health. If another man did this for you by all means we would encourage you to look at him and be thankful because that man took away all your sin and sickness. However if you believe that Jesus alone is due all the Glory, all the Honor and all the Praise you must agree with us that He alone should be the subject under discussion. This discussion of what Jesus did for us is the basis of our faith, and this faith of God is what will propel you into Divine Health. On such a high thought of Jesus we will exit this article because it is evident that He healed you by His stripes suffered at Calvary. Likewise, it is evident that this Divine Health truth is a faith proposal that we firmly believe you will accept in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

Galatians 3:11
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. KJV

In His Love, Eric & Angela Foster
