The Lord Who Heals You

DAY 9 OF 21

MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE

Romans 4:17… God who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.

God gives life to those things that seem impossible, incurable, generational, any report that brings its own kind of death with disappointment and discouragement. God calls those things which do not exist -His promises being manifest in us- as though they did (past tense). Once He has declared it, it is considered done and faith aligns with that perspective.

Abraham progressed from the one who waited for the promise for 24 years not seeing anything, to someone who received the promise within 3 months from the time a shift took place (Genesis 15-18).

God breathed Himself (JHWH or Jehovah is spoken as a breath- ah) into Sarai and Abram changing their names to Sarah and Abraham and they embraced the identity God gave them. Abraham means ‘father of a multitude’ which was in line with the promise God gave him. So, Abraham had to go and tell everyone that his name was now ‘the father of a multitude’, even before he had a child, and that is what others had to call him from now on. He would have received mocking, criticism, “why would you believe that? You are not facing reality”- but at a word from God he embraced how God was declaring him to be.

God, Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals us has declared us to be healed because of what Jesus did for us on the Cross- while this is possibly not what you are experiencing now, allow that truth to change how you see yourself.

Abraham embraced the promise, calling those things that did not exist (still in the future) as though they already did (past tense) in line with the way God Himself speaks. He spoke according to what God had spoken- not denial of the problem, not just hope but a declaration of God’s Word in the face of opposing circumstances.

He didn’t just say it a couple of times and then “well, that didn’t work- I’ll go back to being Abrahm”. He persisted, not wavering at the promise through unbelief, believed and spoke- until it happened. 

Faith calls the promise that is not yet visible as if it’s done- ‘by whose wounds you were healed’ (1 Peter 2:24).

About this Plan

The Lord Who Heals You

Jesus provided healing for us just as much as forgiveness through His finished work of the Cross. God has not made this difficult to receive but a simple faith that focuses on seeing Jesus and what He has already done for you, positions you for the power of God that is enough to heal 'every kind of sickness and every kind of disease'.
