It is good to remember why Jesus came, and what He told us, his disciples, to do when He left. He came so that we can be in relationship with God, and live the abundant life. Abundant life includes living and walking in health. Then, He left us with instructions. The Great Commission describes perfectly what we are to be doing as believers. We are to go into all of the world and preach the gospel. He gave us the authority to use His name and go about doing good, just like He did. Luke 4:18,19 is not only what Jesus did on the earth, but it is now our scripture –
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon us, and He has anointed us to tell the good news to the poor, to proclaim freedom for prisoners, recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed and proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
Jesus came to destroy the enemy’s work, and it is up to us to enforce His victory. We can’t live nonchalantly, with the attitude whatever will be, will be. We are on this earth to protect and preserve it…..we are called the salt of the earth, and that is what salt does. We have to contend for good health! Just because healing is God’s will, doesn’t mean it will happen automatically. We have to believe that Jesus provided it for us, and then begin walking in it. Every day, we are getting stronger. Every day, our body is receiving the healing of the Lord. Every day, we walking toward divine health.
