Supernatural Healing as a Lifestyle

November 19, 2010 Pastor Dan Gore http://www.destinyshouse.com/  letter #58

The following was borrowed from Living Word Christian Center in Minnesota...and they borrowed it from an old well known man of God, Charles Capps.  The reason I include it here is because I believe that the supernatural healing of our bodies should be a way of life, not just something we do when we are stuck with a bad prognosis and desperate for healing.  In other words, what if we used the Word of God more for preventative medicine instead of after the fact -- when the problem is already here?  Is that possible to live like that?  We believe it is.  Lets strive to speak and pray the Word of God over our bodies from time to time.  By faith, lets keep rooting out any and every malfunction that may exist in our bodies today -- as they are the temple of the Holy Spirit.  The following is a good template for this exercise. 

Love you all & lets have more physical healing in our bodies!  O.K.?  Are you with me on that?  If we don't lay hold of that, then Jesus went through some of His suffering for nothing.  Lets grab hold of the healing Word that is available to us. 

Love you,
Pastor Dan & Family

God's Medicine
 
 
I am FREE from unforgiveness and strife. I forgive others and Christ has forgiven me, for the love of God is shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost.
(Matt. 6:12; Rom. 5:5.)
 
Jesus bore my sins in His Body on the tree; therefore I am dead to sin and alive unto God and by His stripes I am healed and made whole. (1 Pet. 2:24; Rom. 6:11; 2 Cor. 5:21.)
 
Jesus bore my sickness and carried my pain. Therefore I give no place to sickness or pain. For God sent His Word and healed me. (Ps. 107:20.)
 
Father, because of Your Word I am an overcomer. I overcome the world, the flesh and the devil, by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony.
(1 John 4:4; Rev. 12:11.)
 
You have given me abundant life. I receive that life through Your Word and it flows to every organ of my body bringing healing and health. (John 10:10; John 6:63.)
 
Heavenly Father, I attend to Your Word. I incline my ears to Your sayings. I will not let them depart from my eyes. I keep them in the midst of my heart, for they are life and healing to all my flesh. (Prov. 4:20-22.)
 
As God was with Moses, so is He with me. My eyes are not dim; neither are my natural forces abated. Blessed are my eyes for they see and my ears, for they hear. (Deut. 34:7.)
 
No evil will befall me, neither shall any plague come near my dwelling. For You have given your angels charge over me. They keep me in all of my ways. In my pathway is life, healing and health. (Ps. 91:10, 11; Prov. 12:28.)
 
Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. There I refuse to allow sickness to dominate my body. The Life of God flows within me bringing healing to every fiber of my being. (Matt. 8:17; John 6:63.)
 
I am redeemed from the curse. Galatians 3:13 is flowing in my blood stream. It flows to every cell of my body, restoring life and health. (Mark 11:23; Luke 17:6.)
 
The life of First Peter 2:24 is a reality in my flesh, restoring every cell of my body. I present my body to God for it is the temple of the LIVING GOD. God dwells in me and HIS LIFE permeates my SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY so that I am filled with the fullness of God daily. (Rom. 12:1, 2; John 14:20.)
 
My body is the temple of the HOLY GHOST. I make a demand on my body to release the right chemicals. My body is in perfect chemical balance. My pancreas secretes the proper amount of insulin for life and health. (1 Cor. 6:19.)
 
Heavenly Father, through Your Word You have imparted Your life to me. That life restores my body with every breath I breath and every word I SPEAK. (John 6:63; Mark 11:23.)
 
That which God has not planted is dissolved and rooted out of my body In Jesus' Name. First Peter 2:24 is engrafted into every fiber of my being and I am alive with the life of God. (Mark 11:23; John 6:63.)
 
Growths, Tumors, and Arthritis
 
Jesus bore the curse for me; therefore, I forbid growths and tumors to inhabit my body. The life of God within me dissolves growths and tumors, and my strength and health is restored. (Matt. 16:19; John 14:13; Mark 11:23.)
 
Growths and tumors have no right to my body. They are a thing of the past for I am delivered from the authority of darkness. (Col. 1:13, 14.)
 
Every organ and tissue of my body functions in the perfection that God created it to function. I forbid any malfunction in my body in Jesus' Name. (Gen. 1:28, 31.)
 
Father, Your Word has become a part of me. It is flowing in my bloodstream. It flows to every cell of my body, restoring and transforming my body. Your Word has become flesh; for You sent Your Word and healed me. (James 1:21; Ps. 107:20; Prov. 13:3.)
 
Your Word in manifested in my body, causing growths to disappear. Arthritis is a thing of the past. I make a demand on my bones and joints to function properly In Jesus' Name. (Mark 11:23; Matt. 17:20.)
 
Heavenly Father, I give voice to Your Word, the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus makes me free from the law of sin and death. And Your Life is energizing every cell of my body. (Rom. 8:12.)
 
Arthritis, you must GO! Sickness MUST FLEE! Tumors can't exist in me, for the Spirit of God is upon me and the Word of God is within me. Sickness, fear and oppression have no power over me for God's Word is my confession. (Mark 11:23.)
 
Heart and Blood
 
Thank You Father that I have a strong heart. My hart beats with the rhythm of life. My blood flows to every cell of my body restoring life and health abundantly. (Prov. 12:14; 14:30.)
 
My blood pressure is 120 over 80. the life of God flows in my blood and cleanses my arteries of all matter that does not pertain to life. (Mark 11:23.)
 
My heart beat is normal. My heart beats with the rhythm of life, carrying the Life of God  throughout my body restoring LIFE AND HEALTH ABUNDANTLY. (John 17:23; Eph. 2:22.)
 
I have a strong heart. Every heart beat floods by body with life and cleanses me of disease and pain. (Ex. 23:25; Mark 11:23.)
 
I command my blood cells to destroy every disease germ and virus that tries to inhabit my body. I command every cell of my body to be normal In Jesus' Name. (Rom. 5:17; Luke 17:6.)
 
Every cell that does not promote life and health in my body is cut off from its life source. My immune system will not allow tumorous growth to live in my body In Jesus' Name. (Luke 17:6; Mark 11:23.)
 
I am redeemed from the curse of the law and my heart beats with the rhythm of life. The spirit and life of God's Word flows in me cleansing my blood of every disease and impurity. (Prov. 4:20-23.)
 
Arteries and Cells
 
In Jesus' Name, my arteries, will not shrink or become clogged. Arteries, you are clean, elastic and function as God created you to function. (Luke 17:6; Mark 11:23; Isa. 55:11; James 3:2-5.)
 
The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death; therefore, I will not allow sin, sickness or death to lord over me. (Rom. 8:2; Rom. 6:13, 14.)
 
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me, permeating His life through my veins, sending healing throughout my body. (Rom. 8:11.)
 
In Jesus' Name I forbid my body to be deceived in any manner. Body, you will not be deceived by any disease germ or virus. Neither will you work against life or health in any way. Every cell in my body supports life and health. (Matt. 12:25; 35a.)
 
Immune System
 
My immune system grows stronger day by day. I speak life to my immune system. I forbid confusion in my immune system. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in me and quickens my immune system with the life and wisdom of God, which guards the life and health of my body. 
 
Healthy Bones and Marrow
 
I speak to the and joints of my body. I call you normal In Jesus' Name. my bones and joints will not respond to any disease; for the Spirit life of First Peter 2:24 permeates every bone and joint of my body with LIFE and HEALTH.
 
Father, I make a demand on my bones to produce perfect marrow. I make a demand on the marrow to produce pure blood that will ward off sickness and disease. My bones refuse any offense of the curse. (Prov. 16:24.)
 
I make a demand on my joints to function perfectly. There will be no pain or swelling in my joints. My joints refuse to allow anything that will hurt or destroy their normal function. (Prov. 17:22.)
 
Enforcing Life
 
Mix thoroughly with faith and authority. To be taken by word of mouth as often as needed to maintain health and life.
 
Body, I speak the Word of Faith to you. I demand that every organ perform a perfect work, for you are the temple of the HOLY GHOST; therefore, I charge you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the authority of His holy Word to be healed and made whole In Jesus' Name. (Prov. 12:18.)
 
Father, I resist the enemy in every form that he comes against me - I require my body to be strong and healthy, I enforce it with Your Word. I reject the curse, and I enforce life in this body. (James 4:7.)
 
I will not die but live and declare the works of God. (Ps, 118:17.)
 
You have forgiven all my iniquities; You have healed all my diseases; You have redeemed my life from destruction; You have satisfied my mouth with good things so that my youth is renewed as the eagles. (Ps. 103:2;5.)
 
Lord, You have blessed my food and water and have taken sickness away from me. Therefore I will fulfill the numbers of my days in health. (Ex. 23:25, 26.)
 
Understanding the Principle
 
Now that you have gone through the scriptural confessions, let's look at the principle that could be the key to you being a partaker of God's provision concerning your healing.
 
There is probably no other subject as important to your healing and health than the principle of CALLING THINGS THAT ARE NOT*. We see in Romans 4:17-22 that Abraham became fully persuaded that God would do what He had promised. The way he became fully persuaded was by calling those things which were not manifest as though they were.
 
We pick up on this verse seventeen:
 
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.  (Romans 4:17)
 
Here Paul is referring to Genesis the 17th chapter. You will notice that God called Abram the father of nations before he had the promised child, and He taught Abram to do the same.

Prayed...
  • Thank you for all of the parts of the Body all over the earth
  • That one must go through that and they will get through that
  • We take the authority that has been given to us and say, "Enough is enough!"
  • It's Your will for us to prosper - spirit, soul, and body!
  • Pressing through and calling those things that are not as though they were!
  • Speaking to bodies to respond in God's way!
  • We make a demand on our bodies to produce the right chemicals
  • Life is restoring our bodies with every breath we take
  • If God did not plant it in our bodies, IT MUST GO!
  • We forbid any malfunction in the Body of Christ and say be changed and be restored!
  • Thank you for the medicine of life
  • We make a demand on our joints and our bones - all of our limbs are going to work correctly!

Will You Make it Through This Trial?

Pastor Dan Gore   www.destinyshouse.com  11/11/10   Letter #57

GENESIS 16:13 “She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: ‘You are the God who sees me,’ for she said, ‘I have now seen the one who sees me.’” (NIV)

“THE GOD WHO SEES ME”:

I want you to know that there will be unusual seasons in your walk with the Lord.  Don’t let this trouble you too much.  Some of you who read this have grown accustomed to times of great miracles, where God is moving and seems to answer instantly and miraculously to everything you ask of Him.  But then, all of a sudden, it seems that He has disappeared and is no longer even noticing you.  Without you having a choice or voice in the matter, it seems as though you have stepped over into a dry season of toil & tribulation.

I want you to know that this season of famine and wrestling and difficulty is just as important as the season of harvest and production.  In the Spirit, you are breaking open the hard earth and planting seeds that seem dry and dead now, but will produce a wonderful harvest in the near future.  Your great trial and your new breakthrough/blessing are actually connected to each other, in God’s realm. 

A clear sign you may be in this kind of spiritual season is that while you are under great stress and trials, you are still steady, living a clean life, and not escaping over into the temporary relief found in the flesh.  You are praying and pressing in to the Heavenly things like never before… but He does not seem to do a quick miracle like He used to do; as you were used to seeing Him do.  He seems to have gone silent and His sweet presence and miracle power seem to not come as easy.  What to do now?

Worship and love on Him even though He does not reciprocate.  Keep on asking, knocking, and seeking even though no one has come to the door yet to open it.  Even though it seems “the light is on but no one is home”, keep at it.  Keep toiling the ground and planting the seeds of intense prayer and worship, hope and faith, especially when it seems hopeless and a waste of time.  This is your sacrifice of praise.  This is your act of faith in the midst of great difficulty.  And boy, is the Lord watching now.  Is the Lord ever closer than at these moments?  These are the times that count so much for your sowing into the things of faith and the Spirit.  This is where the great breakthrough and outpouring originate from, which will come later.  And a big harvest is coming.  But some of it is according to what you do now in the hard places. 

Remember Hagar & Ishmael, in Genesis 16.  Hagar the Egyptian slave was impregnated, then treated her master’s wife badly, and then was mistreated back by the same, and then ran away from home with nothing?  What a low and humiliating position to be in.  From a worldly view, there was no reason anyone should care about Hagar’s comfort.  She was both slave and foreigner.  Through a mixture of various pressures and competing needs, she was quickly in a place of desperation before God came and encouraged her.  Hagar found out about God’s carefulness with low people that day: He really does see me!  I am not invisible or meaningless to Him. He sees me and cares enough to come and find me and tell me His wonderful plans for me!   Hagar was able to see God in a new way. She had a revelation or “ah – ha” that day.  She had a deeper perception that God truly saw her, validated her, and was her source of self worth. (Gen. 21:16)

Your soul may cry out:  “What’s the use?  This is not working!  When God is finally ready to actually help us, he knows where to find me.  Looks like I will have to just depend on myself in this case.  God is useless here.”  In the midst of our trials, the enemy will often come against us with an inferiority complex – that we are less than others and that we will never amount to anything.  He attacks us with feelings of low self esteem and loneliness.  At such times we must invite the Holy Spirit to affirm us and lift us up internally and position-ally back into a place of favor and grace.  In extreme crisis: fight to remain in the secret place of the Lord.  Don’t leave.    

“For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.” (Heb. 12:6)   Then in verse 11 it says:  “Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness…” KJV

Did you catch that?   If the Lord has embraced you as his own child, there will be times of great difficulty.  Sorry.  It’s not sexy.  But there is no crown without a cross, and no true victory without great struggle and loss.   The only time the teacher is perfectly silent, is during the test taking.   He brings us through low places in order to raise us up and bless us in high places.  (Psalms 66)  He is the God who sees you.  In other words – He is the one who will save you very soon.  This trial will come to a quick end, soon.  Stay true, do your best, and don’t be too hard on yourself when you backslide just a little bit.  Cling to His heart, even when it hurts to remain faithful.  You will soon see Him in a new way, too.   If you are in that difficult season right now, just remember:  He is the God who sees you.  He never did leave you -- it just seems that way.  He really is here, watching, perhaps closer than ever.  And He will soon rescue you, pick you up again, and bless you.
