What is Divine Health???



  
When we walk in Divine Health, we are DON’T GET SICK!!! 


That doesn’t mean that the enemy has quit attacking us!!! 


What it means is that we have cut him off at the pass!!!


It means that we see him coming and we head him off!!! 


I can just hear someone saying, Is that even possible?


And yes, it is possible!!!


THE LORD WANTS US TO WALK IN DIVINE HEALTH!!!  HE wants us to get to that place where we are NOT just getting sick and then getting our healing, but where we stay well all the time!!! 


John 10:10 (AMPC) The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).


We can’t live an abundant life, if we are sick all the time!!!  GOD never intended for HIS children to be sick!!!  GOD didn’t create sickness and disease!!!  HE NEVER INTENDED FOR MAN TO BE SICK!!!  Sin brought sicknesses into the world and we all know that sin came in when man fell.


WITH THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, WE CAN WALK IN DIVINE HEALTH!!! 


WE CAN DEFEAT SICKNESS AND DISEASE!!!  We can keep the enemy who would like to attack us with sickness and disease under our feet!!!


Romans 16:20 (ESV) The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.


When it was time for JESUS to go back to THE FATHER, HE told HIS disciples that HE was sending them another COMFORTER, THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!  THE WORD OF GOD tells us that when GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT comes, HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH will show us things to come!!!


John 16:13 (KJV) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.


We seek and ask THE HOLY SPIRIT to help us walk in DIVINE HEALTH by showing us when the enemy is trying to make us sick!!!


John 16:13 (AMPC) But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in the future].


When the HOLY SPIRIT shows us that the enemy is trying to make us sick, we have to stand on GOD’S WORD for our HEALTH!!!  We have to begin our CONFESSION OF THE WORD OF GOD and stand on HIS WORD in FAITH!!!  We have to believe that we are HEALED!!!   


Isaiah 53:4-5 (NKJV)

Surely He has borne our griefs, And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.


We must BELIEVE that by CONFESSING HIS WORD over our bodies, we are keeping them strong and healthy, so that the enemy cannot make us sick!!!  We continue our confessions, so that sickness cannot attach itself to us!!!   


Jeremiah 17:14 (AMP) Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed;
Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise.


By CONFESSING of GOD’S HEALING WORD over our bodies, we can head that ole skunk off at the pass!!!  When we begin to confess THE WORD of GOD over our bodies, we have circled all the wagons and armed ourselves!!!   


Mark 11:22-24 (NKJV) 

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.

23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.



When we confess GOD’S WORD, we close ALL THE GATES, and MAKE OUR FORTRESS SECURE, so that the enemy cannot enter in and make us sick!!!  We have called out ALL THE TROOPS and armed every one of them with THE WORD OF GOD!!!


Matthew 18:18-19 (NKJV)

18 “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.


John 14:13-14 (NKJV)

13 "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."


And because we are armed with THE WORD OF GOD, we know that he is already a defeated foe!!!
  We know where our enemy is going to spend eternity!!!


1 Corinthians 15:57 (AMP) …thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.


Just as many cities including those of Jerusalem and Jericho had high walls with soldiers and watchman who stood guard on the walls, so that they could see the enemy coming, we have to be aware of what is going on around us and we have to maintain our guard!!!  We have to be watchful and just like those soldiers, we have to be ready to fight!!!  


Matthew 11:12 (NKJV) And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.


We have to be ready to fight using HIS WORD!!!  We have to know that we are healed no matter how we feel and no matter what comes against us!!!  We have to know that HE IS THE LORD GOD WHO HEALS US and THAT HE CHANGES NOT!!! 


Exodus 15:26 (KJV) …for I am the Lord that healeth thee. 


Malachi 3:6 (KJV) For I am the Lord, I change not…


You know, the watchmen and soldiers on the walls were fed and given water!!!  They maintained shifts so that they could get much needed rest and sleep, while someone else took over the watch!!!  In this manner, they made sure that someone was always watching!!!


Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV)

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


It is our job to be prepared!!!  To do this, we must study, fast, and pray!!!  It is our job to know THE WORD, so that we can be armed with it to protect ourselves!!!  It is also our job to rest in GOD, so that we can be well rested when the enemy attacks!!! 


Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV)

28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”


THANKFULLY, we have FATHER GOD, OUR LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, and THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, THE HOLY GHOST to keep watch and sound the alarm when the enemy comes to attack!!!      


Psalm 121 (NKJV)

1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?

My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.

Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade at your right hand.

The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

The Lord shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.

The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.
