I heard the Lord tell me today to share with you His wisdom to receive from Him, your healing.
Aside from having to make the decision to live in His Kingdom, there is making the decision to actually live there—by living His way. Many times we say a prayer and think it is the magic prayer to get us to heaven and nothing else. With that mindset, no change is made in our lives. For a lack of knowledge we remain the same. We call ourselves Christians but we are un-like Him, not like Him.
Another thing we think is that we are not perfect and that is our excuse to live conformed to the world. As we live conformed to the world we live not only unchanged, but sick, and distressed like the world. Jesus actually said be perfect. What He meant was grow up and be like Him.
Matthew 5:48 You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, ]having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect. AMPC
Let me tell you what is suppose to happen when you ask Jesus to come live on the inside of you. When you invite Him to live in you, you consent to His leading. As you consent to Him being your guide, your life will drastically change. If you are following His lead then nothing will be as it was. Him living in you isn't life as usual. No, not at all. If you let Him tell you what to do, He is going to lead you right into that healing you need, or whatever else it is you need.
Not as you usually do—will be done, but His will, will be done when you follow Him. Therefore, when you unite with Him, you decide to follow Him. You stop all you were doing before and change your direction.
God is particular, if you miss one law you have missed them all (James 2:10). Why? Because if you missed a law you have stepped out of His Kingdom back into the world. If you leave His Palace —He can't do anything. If you leave Him, you left Him, that simple. God does not leave His place of residence because He does not mingle with evil. Well, you may be thinking that's harsh. If you knew what God considered evil, you wouldn't think so.
His idea of evil is anything opposed to love. If He is Love and love is kind and we are not kind, we have stepped out of His realm. If He is the Healer and He is, but we doubt that He is; we have again stepped out of His Kingdom.
Can you see the truth here? God does not change He is always good. Always the same, always the Healer and He is always right there. He never moves from His position. He is grounded in His Word. He said what His Kingdom is and how it will revolve around love, and that is that.
Therefore, the first direction is to move into His Kingdom and stay there by obeying Him. Keep following His direction no matter how things may seem.
Reading His Word is reading Him, He is His Word (John 1:1). Taking time to hear Him is vital to following Him. He said My sheep know My voice.
John 10:27 The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. AMPC
Many say they don't hear Jesus and that is because they are not following Him. If you stay close and not wander off, His voice will be strong, as if you are right next to Him. But, when you wander His voice will become distant. Second then, is to hear Him give you that personal direction you need. You can't follow Him if you can't hear Him.
No one else can guide you in your healing. I can't give you seven steps to your healing, only Jesus can. Fact is, there are only seven steps if Jesus tells you there you have seven steps to take to get there. You may very well have seven things in the way, whatever the number He will show you.
What I mean is, sometimes we have things —sin in the way of our receiving from Him. Usually we have no idea, or sometimes we have heard that correction but haven't tended to it. If you sit with Jesus daily and let Him get those dead branches off of you, He will show you your sin and give you the direction you need to fix it.
Sometimes many get offended at this point and quit and give up. That is very sad because if one would take the correction, he would be set free. Anything dead in our lives that we let Jesus eliminate, will bring life to the full until it overflows.
John 10:10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). AMPC
His purpose for us is life to the fullest, until we can hardly stand it. Have we been there yet? Do you know anyone too happy? Do you know anyone who is so blessed they can't take anymore? I think that is what Jesus is saying here. Let me be your God and I will give you that life where you have so much joy, so much peace, and so much happiness you won't be able to contain it. You won't be able to not get on your face everyday to thank Him for all HIs good. You won't be able to wait to meet with Him.
The last thing is - agree. In fact, the first two directions are nonexistent unless we agree.
If we don't agree with the Word, then we won't do the Word or hear the Word or follow the Word.
If we are in disagreement with by His stripes we were healed, then we will not be following Jesus or hearing Him. If we disagree with forgiving seven times seventy-seven times a day, we are not in agreement with the Kingdom of God principles. We are not in agreement with Jesus if we disagree with Him and if we disagree, we will not be able to receive from Him.
John 15:15 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. 2 Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. 3 You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you]. 4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. 6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 8 When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine. AMPC
In summation then, what Jesus is teaching us today is to be willing to be changed, to come in agreement with Him so we can receive from Him. When we receive from Him, we glorify Him, and prove to be a be a real Christian, a true disciple of His.
