HAVE you been constantly sick that the hospital has become you seeming permanent place of abode? 

Have you come to your wit’s end concerning your health that you think there is no more hope of survival for you? Have you failed to realize that God is the God of 11th hour, Who can do all things? I want you to know that God desires that you live a healthy life. That is why your healing, health and wholeness are so important to Him! Your health is an important part of His redemptive plan for you, if you are His child. He wants you to be well!

He said: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”. (III John 2). God is not a joker! He says what He means and He means what He says! From the above scripture, it is very clear that God is not only concerned about your soul, He is also concerned about your body (Isaiah 53:5).

 He has made adequate provision for you and your household to be healthy. It does not matter for how long, and what that sickness tormenting you is called. Get set for your own freedom now! Every sickness and disease in your life will come to an end this time, via the incontestable power of God’s Word (Psalm 107:20; Hebrews 4:12).   
 
God is set, this month, to put into your hands the answer to every problem of sickness and disease. Sickness, disease, pain and suffering are not the will of God for you. It is high time you enjoyed total health! The major difference between healing in God’s Kingdom and healing in the world is the instant nature of healings in God’s Kingdom. The Bible recorded instances where many people received their miracles of instant healing. Let’s see some of them: There was a time that Jesus visited the house of Peter. On getting there, He saw that Peter’s mother-in-law was sick of fever.

For Jesus, that wasn’t just an ordinary fever. He knew that behind every sickness was and is a foul spirit of infirmity. Jesus swung into action by rebuking the spirit of fever and immediately she was healed (Luke 4:39).

In the encounter Jesus had with a leper, he touched him and immediately the leprosy was cleansed (Matthew 8:3). The Centurion’s servant, at the prophetic word that came from Jesus, was made whole that same hour (Matthew 8:10-13).

Apart from healing those who are sick, Jesus has the power to heal the dead. For instance, there was the story of the widow of Nain. The only son she had died and they conveyed his coffin to go and bury him. When Jesus met them, He spoke to the dead son, and immediately, he bounced back to life (Luke 7:13-16)! Note that the word “immediate” appears 55 times in scriptures, and all the 55 times are in the New Testament. Most of it has to do with healing, “immediately, immediately.”

The Bible says: “And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole”. (Matthew 14:35-36). You can see that everybody sought to touch Jesus, and as many as touched Him were made perfectly whole. 

He is still touching people today. He can even touch you right where you are now. It does not matter the doctor’s verdict concerning your life. Once you receive a touch from Jesus, that seeming incurable disease will be a thing of the past! This is the simple process by which He touches people.

He says: “Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?” (Isaiah 53:1). Every time faith rises in your heart, His hand is stretched forth to touch you. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8). The healing virtue from Christ and the Word is adequate for all who want to receive the miracle of instant healing. You are included among those who may want to receive instant healing. In Matthew 9:35, the Bible says: “He healed them all.” His healing virtue is adequate for all, at the same time, including you and your household. He went about healing all manner of sicknesses and diseases among the people.
