DIVINE
HEALING
God's Laws
On
DIVINE HEALING
by Pastor Max
Solbrekken, D.D.
"Verily
I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall
bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever ye shall
loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven."
"Again
I say unto you, That if two of you
shall agree on earth as touching any
thing that they shall ask, it shall
be done of My Father which is in
heaven."
"For
where two or three are gathered
together in My name, there am I in
the midst of them." (Matthew
18:18-20)
THE
LAWS OF GOD ON DIVINE HEALING
There
are spiritual laws in God’s Word
that are as binding and even more so
than any other law in God’s
universe.
And they work just as
effectively as the natural laws of
gravity, wind currents,
aerodynamics, the circulation of the
blood as well as the law of
conception and child-birth.
There
are 3 laws outlined in the Bible
scriptures stated clearly by our
Lord God and Master, Jesus Christ.
LAWS
OF GOD ON DIVINE HEALING
LAW
#1 - THE LAW OF BINDING
AND LOOSING
Law
1 on divine healing is found in
verse Matthew 18:18.
I call it the 'Law of Binding
and Loosing.'
Notice
Jesus said, “Verily
I say unto you...” The
word verily,
means certainly, surely or
assuredly.
In other words, Jesus was
giving us the assurance that He was
telling the truth and that we can
“bank on that”.
WHAT
WOULD JESUS WANT US TO BIND AND
LOOSE
The
question we must address is, “What
would Jesus want us to bind and
loose”?
The answer is, “The same
things He bound and loosed when He
was upon earth”! Jesus
came against five things in His
earthly ministry:
Sin
Fear
Sickness (disease and
death)
Poverty
Demons and Satan himself
JESUS
FORGAVE THE SINNER
Jesus forgave the sinner and
shed His precious blood save
the lost.
He gave the great commission,
calling His servants to preach the
‘gospel of salvation’ to the
ends of the earth: “Go
ye into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature...”
(Mk. 16:15)
JESUS
BOUND THE SPIRITS OF FEAR
JESUS
BOUND THE SPIRITS OF FEAR by speaking peace to the
troubled.
He constantly stated: “Fear
thou not!
Peace be unto you!
It is I!”
(Matthew 14:27)
JESUS
HEALED THE SICK & DISEASED
JESUS
HEALED THE SICK & DISEASE and He
raised the
dead!
Jesus drove out infirm
spirits and gave us His power to do
the same!
“When the even was come,
they brought unto Him many that were
possessed with devils: and
He cast out the spirits with His
Word, and healed all that were sick:
That it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by Esaias the prophet,
saying, Himself took out
infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses.” (Matthew 8:16-17)
JESUS
WAS COMPASSIONATE TOWARD THE POOR
AND NEEDY
JESUS
WAS COMPASSIONATE TOWARD THE POOR
AND NEEDY. He proved His
compassion by feeding the hungry,
multiplying the loaves and fishes
and giving to the poor.
Judas
carried “the bag” and was a
thief (John 12:6; 13:29), but many
were ministered to through the
generosity of Jesus Christ.
When
Jesus met the funeral procession
outside of Nain, He
had compassion upon a widow
who had lost her only son
and means of support.
He raised the young man back
to life and gave Him to his mother!
And finally, Jesus gave us the
KEY
TO PROSPERITY
and
ABUNDANCE:
"But
seek ye first the kingdom of God;
and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto
you." (Matthew 6:33) KJV.
"Give, and it shall be given
unto you; good measure, pressed
down, and shaken together, and
running over, shall men give into
your bosom. For with the same
measure that ye mete withal it shall
be measured to you
again." (Luke 6:38) KJV
Jesus
cast out evil spirits from the
tormented, sick, suffering and
demented. Jesus met Satan face
to face in the wilderness temptation
and overcame him with God's
word. Finally, Jesus totally
defeated Satan, through his
vicarious, substitutionary death on
Golgotha and His Glorious
Resurrection from the dead, three
days later.
“Forasmuch
then as the children are partakers
of flesh and blood, He also Himself
likewise took part of the same, that
through
death He might
destroy him that had the power
of death, that is, the
devil; And
deliver them who through fear of
death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage.”
(Hebrews 2:13-15) KJV
JESUS
HAS GIVEN US POWER TO CAST OUT
DEVILS AND SET THE CAPTIVES FREE
"And
the seventy returned again with joy,
saying, Lord, even the devils are
subject unto us through Thy
name. And He said unto them, I
beheld Satan as lightning fall from
heaven. Behold, I give unto
you power to tread on serpents and
scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy: and nothing shall by any
means hurt you." (Luke
10:17-19) KJV
"He
that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved; but he that believeth not
shall be damned. And these
signs shall follow them that
believe; In My name shall they cast
out devils..." (Mark 16:16-17)
KJV
WHAT
DID JESUS LOOSE?
He
freed those who were bound by the
power and the influence of the
enemy! We must do the same.
LAWS
OF GOD ON DIVINE HEALING
LAW
#2 - THE LAW OF
AGREEMENT
Law
#2 on divine healing is found in
Matthew 18:19. I call this law
the 'Law of Agreement'.
"Again
I say unto you, That if two of you
shall agree on earth as touching any
thing that they shall ask, it shall
be done for them of My Father which
is in heaven."
This
is such an easy law to apply. All it takes it two people agreeing
in prayer, regarding a request or
petition. A prophet, apostle,
evangelist or pastor is not
necessary. It can be any two
people agreeing in prayer.
Jesus
specified
“any two” agreeing (a
pastor and parishioner, a husband
and wife, two children in need) in
faith. And God will grant that
petition! He said, “Again,
I say unto you...”
Why did He use the word ‘again"?
Jesus
knew that “repetition is the
mother of learning”.
It was so important, that He
repeated this injunction.
“I’ve
told you before but I’m going to
tell you again.
Don’t forget; this is
important”! Do
you need a miracle? Jesus
wanted us to know that any believer
in need of a miracle can unite in
prayer with another believer and the
miracle will happen!
Hallelujah.
St.
James
builds on Jesus’ invitation:
“Confess
your faults one to another, and
pray one for another, that ye
may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer
of a righteous man availeth much”.
(James 5:16). KJV
LAWS
OF GOD ON DIVINE HEALING
#3
- LAW OF GOD'S PRESENCE
Law
#3 on divine healing is found in
Matthew 18:20. I call this the
'LAW OF GOD'S PRESENCE".
"For
where two or three are gathered
together in My name, there am I in
the midst of them."
"Where
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty." (2 Corinthians
3:17) "Thou wilt shew me
the path of life: In Thy presence is
fullness of joy; at Thy right hand
there are pleasures for
evermore." (Psalms 16:11) KJV
Jesus
said, “...I will never leave thee
nor forsake thee”. (Hebrews 13:5)
KJV
And
“I will be with thee until the end
of the world (age)”. (Matthew
28:20) In the original Greek the
meaning is even stronger.
Jesus says: “I
will never, no
never,
leave thee. I will never, no
never,
forsake thee.”
Jesus used a ‘double
imperative’ to make His
point clear. Notice here that
He says, "Verily, certainly,
and most assuredly....
Then
Jesus says, "I've told you
before but this is so important I'm
going to repeat myself. Again
I say unto you..." And
finally, "I will never, NO
NEVER leave thee! I will
never, NO NEVER forsake
thee!" Jesus made it
crystal clear so that we would
understand. Jesus repeated it
so we would know that he meant his
words.
NEVER forsake thee!” Jesus could
not make it any clearer.
Jesus is on our side.
We are safe in Jesus.
Jesus Christ our Lord can be
trusted, for He is our Saviour and
God.
Let
us draw nigh unto God. Study
the Bible, seek the Lord for the
answers and lock into the promises
and laws of God on divine
healing. Lock into the
promises of God for ourselves and
receive His answer to our prayers.
