The #1 Mistake People Make When They Need Healing
The biggest mistake you can make when seeking healing is to ASK GOD TO HEAL YOU.
And that is precisely what almost everyone does.
You may have noticed that most prayers for healing seem to go unanswered. And the reason is that people are ASKING GOD TO HEAL THEM!
Then people pray for others and ASK GOD TO HEAL THEM, which is equally mistaken.
God has already done something about your healing. He sent Jesus to bear your punishment, including sickness, in your place (Isaiah 53). Jesus paid the price for you to be healed. Now it is not a case of asking God to do something new in heaven to cause you to be healed; it is a case of receiving what He has already provided.
Legally, God has already given you everything that you will ever need (Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3-4), including healing. You don’t have to talk God into healing you; He is actually trying to talk you into receiving the healing that His Son provided for you so that you can enjoy it.
Now your part is to “believe that you receive when you pray” (Mark 11:24). Receiving something implies that God is offering it already, which He is. You don’t have to ask Him to make this offer; it’s already out there waiting for you to take Him up on it.
When you need healing, you receive it from God when you pray. You don’t ask God to do something about your illness. That wouldn’t agree with Scripture, which says that He already HAS done something about it. He has already made healing available to you.
I wrote this book to help you receive the healing that Jesus paid for you to have. May you find freedom from all illness and pain as you read and become trained in the Word to minister that same freedom to others. This news is way too good to keep to ourselves!
