Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 23, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: With all the debate about health care --- there is an issue that is better than doctor’s care and better than Divine Healing... IT IS DIVINE HEALTH... LEARN AND PRACTICE THESE LAWS...
DO WE KNOW THE LAWS OF DIVINE HEALTH ENOUGH TO ACCEPT THEM AND DO THEM...
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
I. DIAGNOSIS: WE MUST IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND DEVELOP A PLAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
A. We develop strategies that tend to BYPASS God’s plan...
CM Ward once said: THE DAY IS COMING WHEN THE CHURCH WILL HAVE TO DIVERT
TO THE TEACHINGS OF DIVINE HEALING...
B. Physical, mental, emotional, SPIRITUAL HEALTH...
C. WE CAN NOT DIAGNOSE OUR PROBLEM --- WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE WORD TO ALIGN WITH GOD’S PLAN...
II. WE BELIEVE IN DIVINE HEALING AND THAT HEALING IS PART OF OUR ATONEMENT...
A. Just as SALVATION is purchased in our atonement so is DIVINE HEALING...
It is God’s nature and love to heal! HEALING WAS NOT A ONE TIME SHOT IN JESUS’ DAY.
HEALING IS AVAILABLE TODAY.
Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
B. THE BEATING HAD A PURPOSE --- BY HIS STRIPES
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.
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.
C. Yes, we have the atonement rule of healing, but we should desire to walk above sickness...
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. THERE IS SOMETHING MUCH BETTER THAN DIVINE HEALING!!! YOU HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY IN DIVINE HEALTH...
THAT IS CLEARLY DIVINE HEALTH --- DIVINE HEALTH BEATS DIVINE HEALING...
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.
Deut. 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.
A. Ever heard someone say: IF I KNEW I WAS GOING TO LIVE THIS LONG, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF MYSELF?
B. In my humble opinion, I thank God for DIVINE HEALING but our God has a PLAN MUCH BETTER THAN HEALING US WHEN WE ARE SICK... GOD’S PLAN IS DIVINE HEALTH.
C. We need to recognize this and find the RULES or LAWS that PROMOTE DIVINE HEALTH...
D. If we don’t know the rules? If we don’t heed the rules ---
IF WE BREAK THE DIVINE RULES AND LAWS WE WILL PAY THE PRICE...
E. PRAY ALL YOU WANT --- YOU ESTABLISH MENTAL AND ACTION ATTITUDES TOWARD
YOUR PHSYICAL HEALTH...
F. Pray for God to TURN THE WINE INTO WATER??? BUT YOU MUST QUIT DRINKING!
G. WHY CAN NOT CHRISTIANS ARISE AND SEE THEIR ATTITUDES AND HABITS CAN
AFFECT THEIR HEALTH?
H. The land of Goshen was EXEMPT from the diseases of Egypt.
1. THE DIVINE LAW OF 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.
A. To be clean is more than just washing, have a clean heart!
Isaiah 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes;
cease to do evil;
B. Wash and clean
C. Wash clothes
D. Clean house
E. Clean water, clean food...
2. THERE IS A DIVINE LAW OF STERILIZATION WHEN EXPOSED...
Numbers 19:11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers 31:22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
[23] Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall
make go through the water.
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
