How can I be sure that healing belongs to me?

How can I be sure that healing belongs to me? 

(4.5 minutes read time)

This is a question that must be settled in our hearts if we are to enjoy the promises of God.  If there are questions in our minds, the devil will use our doubts to his advantage by creating loopholes in the covenant that Jesus made with us on the Cross. Our doubts  create loopholes because the promises are dependent on faith; if we think the covenant of  healing is not a sure thing, we are providing the devil with a foothold or the ability to create  a loophole in which he can lie to us. The Adversary will present a compelling case of why  we are not healed and will be able to convince us that the covenant is not legitimate, which  effectively keeps us in doubt and unbelief and therefore sick. As a result, the promise of  healing and deliverance becomes elusive and always in the future. Always in a state of “I  hope so” instead of “I know so!” 

We know from experience that an Adversary realizes he must find loopholes in a contract  in order to violate it on contest it. The devil will take advantage of every opening we allow to  accuse us in the courts of heaven and demand sickness, disease, and his tyrannical  dominion over our life. 

Our healing and deliverance are legal issues. We must know our rights and know how to  enforce compliance with the covenant. And remember, we have an Advocate—Jesus  Christ! We need to give the devil a reason to flee. (James 4:7) 

After crossing the Red Sea, God established His will and intent when He declared  Himself to be Jehovah Rapha-the Lord your Healer. 

Exo 15:26 and said, "If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in  His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases  on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord (Jehovah Rapha) who heals you." 

1. One of the redemptive names of God-Jehovah Rapha 
2. This is the only one of the redemptive names that God used to refer to Himself and He  made it clear “I am the Healer”. The other Redemptive names were created by men at the  revelation of the character that the name described.  
3.  Rapha-Paleo Hebrew pictographs:   (read right to left) resh-head of a  man, pey-mouth man is healed by opening his mouth and receiving as one receiving  medicine. It’s not enough to read the word. You must eat it and possess it. Ezek. 3:1-3 4. The word “heal-rapha” means to heal, mend, fix, refresh and is used to mean medicine. He is your Fixer. He is your Medicine. He is your primary care physician! 

(Eze 3:1 Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to  the house of Israel." 2 So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll. 3 And He said to  me, "Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you." So I ate, and it was in  my mouth like honey in sweetness.)

Pro 4:20 My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let  them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to  those who find them, And *health to all their flesh.  

*Health-marpe-from the same root word as “rapha” and literally means medicine or  remedy. 

If you consume God’s word long enough, it will heal you. We take prescription drugs  religiously, month after month, year after year; yet, when it comes to the Word of God, we  barely crack open our Bibles. It’s possible to overdose with medicine, but it is impossible to  overdose with the Word! Our consistency and steadfast confession of the Word  demonstrates honor and trust. It will bear fruit. It is health to all your flesh.  

We have a “sure” covenant. There are no loopholes in this covenant.  

Isa 53:4 NKJV Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed  Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,  He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by  His stripes we are healed. 

Surely-aken-means ‘in fact’, certainly 

The scripture is saying that this verse is “ a fact”. We know facts are admissible in a court of  law. Know the facts! 

The word “griefs”-cholee is translated 24 times in the Old Testament as sickness or  disease. This is the only instance where it is translated “griefs”.  

The word “sorrows”-makob is translated 11 out of 16 times as “pain”.  

Jerome, a third-century translator, spiritualized healing in this passage because he rejected  the idea of supernatural healing. Otherwise, Jerome was an excellent translator. Of course,  when one is sick and in pain certainly there is grief and sorrow but that is not the complete  picture this verse is conveying.  

It is believed that Is. 53 is referred to 85 times in the New Testament! I think that means it’s  important! 

Isa 53:1NKJV Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been  revealed? 

Have you believed this report, this revelation, this information as true facts? Are these  verses a “surely” for you? For those who believe, the arm of the Lord is revealed. The arm of the Lord refers to God’s triumphant power that will be unveiled and displayed in your life.  No loopholes!  

Psa 89:34 NKJV My covenant I will not break, Nor alter the word that has gone out of My  lips. 

Psa 119:89 Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven. 

Now let His Word, the facts, be settled in your heart for this is where Jesus lives and  heaven resides. Healing belongs to you. Give the devil no loopholes. Receive your  healing now.
