Romans 8:11 NIV
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
It’s cold and flu season. It has been cold, and flu season this time of year-for years. Now with the covid-19 still rising with new variants, I am not hearing about as much of the colds and flu’s as we used to. Maybe we are doing a better job at keeping our germ ridden selves away from each other. I am not sure about that yet, only time will tell! I do know that God made provisions for us through Jesus for our well-being. I also know that just as He made the Law of gravity, and no matter how hard we try to break that law-we can’t. He also established some laws that protect our health and well-being. These laws will not be broken either! Now, this ‘method’ of healing may be new to some, but it is still ‘ours’ as heirs of Jesus Christ.
Let me explain it in the terms that John G Lake used to explain it in the early part of the 20th century. He was a Missionary in South Africa when a new outbreak of the bubonic plague took place. John was able to care for the sick and even bury them, without ever getting sick! John explained the process of healing like this; “faith belongs to the law of life and it is the very opposite of fear. Faith has an affect on the body that is the very opposite of fear. Faith causes a person to become confident, knowing God is in control. Therefore, it changes the mindset from a negative, (that draws in sickness and germs), to a positive. Consequently, the positive mind repels disease and germs.” When we are in contact with the Spirit of life in Christ, we repel sickness and germs. This is one of the promises we have because we are believers in the Divine nature of Christ.
Here is one example of how fear can have a negative affect on our health. A cousin of my husband called him quite frequently to inquire about our health during this pandemic. We always replied that we were fine. She had not symptoms of covid either, but, always expressed her fear of contracting it. This kept her fearful for her family and friends since the beginning of the pandemic. She stayed in her home isolated from her family and friends. A few days ago we received the call no one wants to get. Her daughter called to say she had a heart attack and did not survive it. Of course, I cannot say it was from fear, but, I can say that kind of stress is no good for our bodies.
I am listing some scripture verses below that deal with our health and well-being. I believe we can fill our minds so full of these life-providing thoughts that there will be no room for the enemy to bring sickness in. I challenge you to try it! It surely cannot hurt!
