Forever Yours:  Divine Healing
Compiled By Brother L. Harrell

So if the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free.  (John 8:36 [NLT])


The Lord empowered the Apostles with authority over sickness and disease.  He commanded them to cast out devils and to heal the sick with the laying of hands.  He commanded the Apostles to teach this to all nations.  Divine healing is the Lord's will (This is confirmed in James 5:14-15 & Mark 16:18).

Matthew 10:1   And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Matthew 28:18-20  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

God knew you had a sinful past before He spoke the word that “you are healed”.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. (See Isaiah 53:5). 

God knew you would sin once again before he gave his word that “all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you”.

Mark 11:24-25  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

God does not desire to reward those that waver (which are unstable in their ways).   Faith, being the substance (stability) of things hoped for, is contrary to instability (See Hebrews 11:1).

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

James 1:6-7 (NLT) But when you ask him, be sure that you really expect him to answer, for a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.  People like that should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

The Lord does not desire to operate in a way that is enmity / in opposition to Himself.  If the Lord expects us not to waver, He will not waver (The Lord follows His own principles).  If He performs healing knowing your past, present and future, then He purposes it for you to receive it (and does not purpose to give the enemy access to it).  Wavering is contrary to His Spirit.  We are not to operate opposed to His Spirit (as He will not be contrary to Himself).

Galatians 5:16   This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

If we are healed and fail to continue to be delivered / healed, it is not that the Lord has withdrawn it, but rather that we have denied it.  Speaking and manifesting doubt (performing actions of disbelief / mistrust) is denial & rejection / renouncement of what we claim to accept (believe).

Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Romans 10:10   For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Sin can bring sickness on us. 

John 5:14 (NLT) But afterward Jesus found him in the Temple and told him, "Now you are well; so stop sinning, or something even worse may happen to you."

Sickness coming on us after being healed is not God revoking His healing because we have made mistakes (not been perfect).  For example:  If I am cured divinely from AIDS originally acquired while using dirty drug needles, once I tell a lie, my affliction does not return.  If I’ve been healed, I am healed, in Jesus’ name.  The affliction will never return (the healing is forever yours). 

Now, if I return to using dirty drug needles and/or sexual immorality, clearly I open the door to receive an affliction such as the one I had (or some other affliction). 

James 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

God is stable and His word is true.  He is not giving healing, just to repent, taking back what He gave, already knowing that soon we will error again.  We must not deny God and His power.  We must continue to seek out Him and His kingdom, continuing in His ways, obeying His voice.

Misery loves company.  The enemy and those that love failure are sure to discourage us from believing that divine healing is forever yours.  Continually reflect on God’s promises to blot out the lies from the enemy.  If you love, and follow Jesus, enjoy your healing for the rest of your days.



Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Philippians 4:6 (Weymouth New Testament) Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.

Luke 18:7b-8a (NLT) so don't you think God will surely give justice to his chosen people who plead with him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly!

Do you desire to have someone agree with you in faith about a thing?  (Yes, Jesus can bless you using the internet!).  If you desire, let me know what we are agreeing to obtain from our Father, in Jesus' name!

Matthew 18:19   Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.





healing:  who do we trust?

As the Lord is justified / glorified through your obedience
 to His Word, so be
your request for healing in Jesus' Name
(according to your faith [which is made alive when joined
with actions of obedience])

Is God willing and able to cure AIDS and other purportedly incurable sicknesses?  Surely, the one that commands the planets to keep their place can command death to parasites in one’s body.  The Father of all things has numerously expressed His will to keep His people healthy and give them longevity.
