healing

Confess what God says about those symptoms and circumstances. Some people have wrongly assumed confession is denial of physical facts and temporary circumstances. It is anything but that. It is declaring what God, who never changes, has said about the outcome and standing in faith until all temporary conditions line up with His eternal declaration.

First of all, let me make a very important correction. God didn’t deliver me from a weight problem. He delivered me from a food problem.

It is vital for you to understand that. Because as long as I was simply trying to lose weight, I experienced repeated failure just as you have. I lost literally hundreds of pounds, only to gain them right back again.

I would go to God and complain about it and ask for help time after time. But I still wasn’t able to experience victory in that area as I had in other areas of my life.

When it comes to healing, there are many factors involved. There is no exact formula for healing. 

Jesus said in Mark 16:18 (NKJV), “[You] will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 

We must take Him at His Word and believe this is true or our unbelief will hinder our faith. Some healings occur instantaneously, while others are progressive and take place over a period of time. Often, once one is prayed for, the healing has started, even though the physical evidence is not immediately seen. 

God desires to meet our needs and heal us simply because He loves us. To connect us with His desire, He has given us a system by which His kingdom operates, and which we are to operate on this earth. It’s called sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:7-9 says, “Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good.

Brother Copeland would be the first to tell you the doctor is your best friend if you are sick and your healing has not yet fully shown up. It takes time for your faith to develop. For that reason, it is perfectly all right to pursue medical attention as well. In fact, to refuse to consult a doctor or perhaps stop taking medication (prescription or over-the-counter) before faith is fully developed for healing is potentially dangerous. That would be considered “presumptuous” faith.

First and foremost, remember that God is a good God, and He has made you an overcomer and more than a conqueror. That applies to anything and everything in your life! He has also given you the mind of Christ. 

The world may have labeled you and you may notice certain things challenge you more than others, but you are called to live in victory every day in every way. The good news is that God never intended for you to do that on your own. He is right here waiting to help you!

Here are some things you can do:

It is God’s will to heal you. That’s the first and most important thing for you to understand. If your faith is strong and you can believe the Word without wavering (regardless of what circumstances or symptoms come against you), then you’ll be able to receive that healing by faith alone. But that kind of faith takes more than just hearing a few sermons about healing. It takes a deep personal revelation of God’s healing power. And, for the Christian who hasn’t yet developed that kind of faith, the doctor is his best friend.

Yes! You can always count on God to heal you! He has given you His Word on it and He always keeps His Word.

James 5:15 leaves no room for doubt. It says, “...the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.”

Why then do so many good Christians remain sick? Because, they somehow fail to receive God’s provision of healing.

The peace of God is His gift to us as His children. But stress seems to creep up at times when we feel overloaded with life’s demands. Stress is burden, overload, pressure and anxiety; and you were not created to lug that weight around with you every day. So, what’s the answer?

Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) exposes the source of stress and gives us the answer to it: “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”

Here are some of the ways you can trust in the Lord and de-stress your life:

If you’re looking to build your faith for healing, you’ve come to the right place! Jesus is the Healer. Healing is for today, and healing is for YOU. But just knowing that isn’t enough. Faith is an interactive process. Jesus is offering healing, but you’ve got to build your faith to receive.

Here are some of the healing resources recommended by KCM.

If you’ve struggled to lose weight and keep it off, you know it isn’t just as simple as trying the latest diet. Being fit and healthy is God’s will for you. So, don’t give up! Here are some tips from Dr. Don Colbert to help you lose weight God’s way. 

Almost! Proverbs 4:22 says the Word of God is “life to those who find [it] and health to all their body.” But laughter is also mentioned in the Word! Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV) says, “A merry heart does good, like medicine.”

Dr. Avery Jackson, renowned neurosurgeon, shared the following benefits of laughter:

Brother Copeland is on a mission to live a full life of 120 years! In Psalm 91, God promises His children long life, which He told us in Genesis 6:3 is 120 years. 
He is using his faith to get there. He has impressed many with his 50+ pushups on stage at Victory Campaigns, running up and down stairs at age 85, and holding a three-minute plank! Plus, his mind is as sharp as a tack!

So, what is his secret?

None of us knows the number of times we have uttered the words, “Father, forgive me.” We do know, though, that when we ask for His mercy, we receive it when we say, “Lord, forgive me for that. I repent of it.” We receive His forgiveness by faith because we believe His Word that says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, KJV).

Somewhere along the way, an unspoken rule was formed that says you must always have it together. Be perfect. Never feel weary in your faith. However, feeling out of energy or tired after a long fight of faith is nothing new. Maybe you’re there now. You don’t doubt where the Source of your life and victory is, yet you find yourself empty.

But one thing you must NEVER do is stay there.
