Christianity is a divine content; the ultimate of all consciousness of God, a wholly—spirit,
soul, and body—experience.
So, after Jesus declared his platform and policy of divine healing (see the previous
video), he proceeded to establish the pattern and demonstrate how it works.
He began first in the body—the external component of our being, by healing and authorizing
his followers to heal sickness (Mat 4:23, Luk 9:1-2 & 10:1-9).
We will focus on the external manifestation of God's power, in this video.
And in the 15th and 16th videos following, we will examine the soulish/internal and spiritual
manifestations, respectively.
Right after Jesus engaged his disciples, scripture says that "Jesus went about all Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds
of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people" (Mat 4:23).
Here, we see the Christ-like eternal pattern for Christianity, which culminates in healing—"teaching"
in churches, "preaching" everywhere, and "healing" every one of their sickness
and disease.
But Jesus was just one Godly man, then, restrained by scope and scripture, and couldn't reach
everyone everywhere in the world, to preach to or heal them of their sickness and diseases.
Having set the pattern for his "Christian" disciples to follow, he commissioned and empowered
the first 12 disciples to do the same.
Luke 9:1-2 says "He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority
over all demons, and to cure diseases.
He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick."
However, the size of the multitude longing for healing and the gospel of the kingdom
grew.
Even when an independent, followed the same Christian pattern to cast out demons, Jesus
encouraged his disciples not to forbid him; indirectly authorizing the man (Luk 9:50).
So, Jesus appointed another seventy disciples, told them the harvest is great and sent them
to heal and preach the kingdom (Luke 10:1-9).
For three and a half years of Jesus' teaching, preaching, and healing ministry, only these
84 men were authorized to preach and heal sickness, as scripture says.
But after Jesus' resurrection, he broke all scope barrier and made divine healing
the right of every believer.
He said in Mark 16:15-18 "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
…these signs will follow those who believe: In My name, they will cast out demons; they
will speak with new tongues, …if they drink poison it will not hurt them; they will lay
hands on the sick and heal them."
To guarantee this pattern and divine ability forever, God made sure to include it as one
of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, called the "gifts of healing" (1Cor 12:9).
This gift is already in you (dormant) if you are baptized in the Holy Spirit.
God, the Father sent Jesus to save the world (Jn 3:16).
And Jesus sent us, breathing on us his Holy Spirit and power so we can follow his eternal
pattern of divine healing to wholly save the world—body, soul, and spirit (Jn 20:21).
The world population has not stopped growing.
Every year 83 million people are added to the world, and unless we begin to practice
divine healing en masse in our churches, homes, communities, and nations Jesus will find it
difficult to come back for a glorious church, spotless, holy, and without blemish
(Eph 5:27, Col 1:22, 2Cor 11:2).
What about me?
Is divine healing my pattern of real Christianity?
Yes, and I am glad to share this with you.
Fifteen years ago, we could have lost my son during the first trimester.
The doctor, obstetrician, and ultrasonography said it was a threatened abortion (cervical
dilation).
The only options they left us were termination or surgical suturing to close
the cervix until term.
Then there will be another surgery to open the cervix for birth.
Guarantee of success?
Variable.
Who wants to deal with the uncertainty, cost, and tormenting side effects of psychological
issues, depression, anxiety, grief, guilt, and counseling?
I didn't, and so my wife.
So, I prayed almost night, asking Jesus to heal my wife, and rebuking the demon of death.
In a vision, same night, I 'knew' I had my answer, as I laid my hand on her belly and
saw the opening close up.
Next day, I told our doctor she was healed based on what I did in prayer and saw in the
vision.
Like all good doctors, he sent us to the lab for another ultrasound, to confirm the healing.
Can you guess the result?
The cervix closed up, tight; the problem was gone.
They discharged her from the hospital; no surgery, no psychological issues.
My son got the chance to be born, and he lives today very healthy because I dared to believe
that God, the Father through Jesus Christ wants all of us to have the opportunity to
live healthily and be free of sin and death.
Where 'modern medicine' lacks, 'divine healing' makes possible without the prohibitive cost
and ugly side effects.
According to Brother Lake, let's not be negligent but remember that "Jesus Christ
is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb 10:8).
