Forever Settled
The issue of your healing is not up for debate in heaven or on earth. Jesus paid for you to have it, so you are entitled to it. What you need to see is that God is not like men. When a man says, “If elected, I will give you MORE government freebies while CUTTING your taxes,” you would probably roll your eyes and figure that he would be perhaps the ten thousandth politician to promise taxpayer-sponsored giveaways to get elected and then break his word. (He probably WOULD get elected because people want to believe him – they’re in denial of the math behind the government budget. A more honest candidate could say, “In order to stave off eventual national bankruptcy, hyperinflation and chaos from an out-of-control national debt, we need immediate huge tax increases and drastic cuts to all government programs.” He would be right, but he wouldn’t be elected!) But when GOD says something, that’s a different story. GOD is not a politician that He should lie! In fact, God is INCAPABLE of lying because He is a completely honest Being!
God Cannot Lie
Numbers 23:19:
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
1 Samuel 15:29:
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
Psalm 89:34:
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Hebrews 6:18:
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Titus 1:2:
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Now consider what the Bible says about your healing in the light of the verses above. God cannot lie, so He did not lie when He said that He is the Lord Who Heals You (Exodus 15:26) and that He heals all your diseases (Psalm 103:3). He did not lie when He said that Jesus was made sick in your place (Isaiah 53:4, Isaiah 53:10, Matthew 8:17) and that by His stripes you were healed (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24). He did not lie when He said that we can cast out demons and lay hands on sick people, who will recover (Mark 16:17-18) and that we can do the works that Jesus did (John 14:12). He did not lie when He expressed His desire for us to prosper and be in health (3 John 2). He did not lie when He said that a bedridden person can call for the church elders, and that the prayer of faith WILL raise up that sick person (James 5:14-15). He did not lie when He said that He would take away from you ALL sickness (Deuteronomy 7:15). He did not lie when He said that Christ has redeemed you from the curse of the Law (Galatians 3:13), which includes EVERY sickness that there is (Deuteronomy 28:61).
When God Says Something, It’s Settled
When God has given His Word on something, you can depend on it. Everything He says is settled FOREVER:
Psalm 119:89:
For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
Psalm 138:2:
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
God has given His Word on healing, so the matter of your healing is forever settled in heaven.
The VAST majority of Christians fail to realize that healing is part of their covenant, so they petition God for their healing. They don’t realize that the matter is forever settled. When something is forever settled, you don’t ask God to do something new. You rely on what He has already said, and as far as you are concerned, that settles the matter.
God has already made clear that you are redeemed from ALL sicknesses, which means that healing is RIGHTFULLY YOURS right now. That is a forever-settled fact. So don’t try to reopen a closed case! God’s will for your healing has been irrevocably stated. God cannot go back on what He said now that those words have come forth from His lips.
You can now approach God and believe that you receive the healing that He has ALREADY PROVIDED for you, knowing that as far as He is concerned, the matter of His will to heal you is FOREVER SETTLED!
