The first thing is to admit that you can lose your healing.
It’s vital that you understand that God
never places a sickness on you, or puts it back on you. Never blame God for the
pain and misery in your life. Since there is no sickness or disease in Heaven,
God can’t give you sickness, He doesn’t have it to give.
1. Be sure you get to know
Jesus. Ask Him to come into your heart and to
forgive you. Many understand the term repentance to mean “turning from
sin.” This is not the biblical definition of repentance. In the Bible, the word
repent means “to change one’s mind.
Thank You Jesus for loving me and dying
on the cross for me
I ask forgiveness for all the things I
have done wrong in my life
and all that I have failed to do. I open
the door of my heart to receive You as my personal Lord and Saviour. Take my
life in Your hand and help me become the person You want me to be. Jesus,
I need You and I thank You for Your love for me.
2. Read His Word in the
Bible. App: http://www.theholybibleapp.com/
Verse-a-day http://www.verse-a-day.com/apps/
Matthew 22:29 says, Jesus replied, "Your
mistake is that you don't know the Scriptures, and you don't know the power of
God.” So if the symptoms try to come back on you just stand your
ground and keep in faith and don't allow your physical sense to rule
over you, let the Word of God be the final authority. The symptoms
are just a shadow of the real thing, but if you accept those symptoms, then the
enemy can put the real thing back on you.
3. Resist the enemy. Don’t believe the lies of the enemy: that you never
can be forgiven, that it would better if you were to die, that you are unworthy
to be healed, or that God doesn’t love or care about you, etc. He will try and
make you feel guilty and try to tell you that you are no good and
worthless and steal your
identity in Christ.
Hold fast to your healing otherwise the
enemy will steal it from you, he will try to bring back all the symptoms of the
sickness that you were healed from, and if you begin to doubt your
healing you will authorize him to put it right back on you. So stand firm
and resist the enemy, and if you do so the Bible says that he will flee from
you. “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
Jesus said: "The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life,
and have it abundantly.” John 10:10
The sign of the enemy is fear –
the sign of Jesus is peace.
4. Get your life in line with
God’s will. (Change your life style.)

5. See yourself as healed. (Declare: In Jesus’ name, sickness leave me!)
When God touched you, He sees you perfectly
whole–just as He sees you already seated with Him in heavenly places. Don’t let
images of the unreal physical world dim your view of the spiritual realm.
That’s where reality is.
“We look not at the
things which are seen, but the things which are not seen: for the things which
are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” 2 Corinthians 4:18.
The opposite of faith is unbelief.
6. Begin speaking your
healing with your mouth.
(Say it out loud: I am healed!)
Sometimes when we pray for healing, our situation goes from bad to worse. Sometimes a sharper physical pain can be a sign that healing is taking place. Usually the pain disappears or diminishes after a moment. Or it can be a sign that deliverance is needed from some type of bondage in your life. Spiritual warfare is not about engaging in combat with the enemy who is already defeated - it's about living in the victory of the One (Jesus) who defeated him.“But thanks be to God, which gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Cor. 15:57.

God wants to heal everyone yet not everyone
is healed.
When the Lord doesn’t heal you right away,
it is possible that He will use this bad situation to bring you closer to
Him; to focus on Him and not to focus on yourself in your sickness. “And we know that for those who love God all things
work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans
8:28
Try to discover the origin of your
sickness:
Ask yourself: When did my sickness
start? How long have I had it? Many people discover that their physical
problems started when they were under stress for a long time or because they
experienced a major trauma.
Do you blame God for all the sickness; for
wars, poverty and suffering in the world?
Pain and suffering is our inheritance
because of Adam’s sin. We live in a fallen world that is self-focused.
Greed, power, lack of love and empathy results in suffering for
those not in the inner circle of power. There is the unhealthy,
genetically manipulated food we eat, the contaminated air we breathe and the
polluted media of information that form our daily bread. We can also choose not
to be healthy. We say: “Be satisfied now for we are going to die anyway.” I
like the Dutch saying: “Evil punishes itself” When you drink too much
alcohol, you get a headache. If you jump of a building, you will suffer the
consequences of your actions. God has given us ‘free will’ we
can’t keep blaming Him for the big mess we made in the world because of our
wrong choices. Also, we cannot control all the circumstances and events in your
life. They are the results of the free choices of other people. But we can
control our reactions to the circumstances and events in
our lives. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every
situation, [NOT FOR every situation] by prayer and petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace
of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and
your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
When we are spiritually sick because of
sin, we give authority to evil to come into our soul, which can manifest itself
as sickness in our body. Resentment towards God and others in our life is
also an open door for evil to come in. Physical sickness can be the
consequence of a bitter spirit or by letting ourselves be dominated by
discouragement, bitterness or unforgiveness.
Here are some thoughts which
can prevent us from being healed or from keeping our healing:
- I feel unworthy to be healed
- My faith is not strong enough
- God wants to teach me a lesson
- My faith is not strong enough
- God wants to teach me a lesson
- God wants to punish me for my past sins
- God wants me to accept my sickness and offer it up for lost souls.
- God wants me to accept my sickness and offer it up for lost souls.
“When we get rid of our personal
doubt, we get our eyes off ourselves and on to Jesus. He is the healer. Healing
happens because of who He is, not because of who we are. As we look to Him,
healing begins to flow.”
It is good for Catholics to remember that
all grace comes through the merits of Jesus Christ on the Cross. Maria, the
saints and angels in heaven do not heal, Jesus is the only one who heals. Even
Maria herself is not pleased if we try more or less to put her on the same
level as her son, Jesus.
In Communion, when receiving the Body and
Blood of Jesus, we should also receive healing. Jesus in the Eucharist brings
healing to the body as well as to the soul.
Are you afraid of God? Do you fear that He
will punish you if you do something wrong? Then, you are infected by
the law, living under the rules of the Old Testament. Jesus died
for all our sins – past, present and future. We now live under the New Covenant
of his Blood that He shed for us. God our loving Father sees His Son Jesus
standing before us; He sees us as His sons and daughters living in
His Son Jesus, no longer living under the fear of His wrath and punishment.
“He himself bore our sins” in his Body on the
Cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds
you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24
Everyone has their own image of who God is
– mostly the wrong image. We are all taught, by the world we live in, that when
we do wrong we will be punished. God is a loving Father who wants us to
be living in His heart. Jesus paid the price for our sins on the Cross and in
Him we are free!!! “So Christ has truly
set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in
slavery to the law.” Galations 5:1
Here are
the 4 types of bonds that can hold us back from keeping
our healing:
Emotional bondage: Unforgiveness, fear, anxiety, stress, a trauma in your life, and
manipulation from others. Unable to emotionally release a dead relative or
friend.
Bondage from sin: Ungodly and unhealthy lifestyle.
Bondage of lies: Holding on to secrets and believing the lies of the enemy.
(Deception)
Demonic bondage: Occult practices, winti, voodoo, white and black magic, unclean
sexual bonds, pornography, living under religious laws that
create guilt and fear.
John 15:7 Jesus:“If you remain in Me and My words remain in
you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”
John 5:7-9,14 “Sir, the invalid replied, “I
have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am
trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
Then Jesus said to
him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured;
he picked up his mat and walked.
Verse 14: Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to
him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may
happen to you.”
