What Stops the Healing of God? Or, Why doesn't healing come? By Caroline Lanette Alderson Let's start with this scripture. I have this onememorized. John 10:10 The thief comes to steal, kill,and destroy, BUT, I came to give LIFE and that MOREABUNDANTLY. Or, I come to bring you the EXCESSIVE LIFE. What falls into the category of stealing? If youlose your health. If your health was stolen from you.Who stole it? A thief! Thief, thief! Bring back myhealth! That's mine! Is stealing ever God's will? Religious minds over the year, because they couldnot figure out why everyone wasn't getting healed, puton this holier than thou attitude and said, and I canhear the silly voice now. "It is not always God's willto heal, my son." What they are really saying is, Idon't know how to get you healed, so I will tell youit's because it must not be God's will. Um, what acrock. *sweet smile* If you're not getting your healing, I can tell youwhy, and it has nothing to do with it's not God's willto heal. It is always God's will to heal. But, I'mgetting ahead of myself. Going back to John 10:10 Whois the author of stealing, killing, and destroying?Bingo, you got it! Satan! So, if something falls inthe category of stealing, killing or destroying,Satan, not God, is the cause of it. So, wouldn't itmake sense to say that God would be against anythingthat Satan is doing? Wouldn't His will be the oppositeof the devils will, or whoever is stealing, killingand destroying? That would make sense to me. Does thatmake sense to you? Who whispers in your ear over and over? and itsounds like a nasally voice to me. *laughs* "You'renever going to get healed. You're never going to getwell. In FACT, (let's rub this in a little more, saysthe evil imp) you're going to get WORSE!mahahahhahahahahah!!" Okay, maybe I got a littlecarried away... or... did I? I think that's really howthey talk. They gloat over you to God, neener neener,Sally didn't get her healing. Whoo hooo, I tricked herinto thinking she had to keep that cancer! I told herthat God doesn't love her, and that it's not alwaysGod's will to heal. That she wasn't good enough to gethealing. She's nothing. Why would God want to healher? And on and on and on with his lies, he goes. And,yes I know what the enemy is saying, just as much as Iknow what God is saying. Have you noticed readingthis, they are complete opposites? Whatever Satan issaying, turn it completely around, and wahla! you willhave the will of God. Let's look at say car accidents. What causes them?Let's look at the Christian who has a covenant ofprotection with God. God is my protector and it isalways His will to protect me as I drive my car today,or while I am with another person and they are driving.And yes even if they are not a Christian or don't knowabout their rights as a Christian, I will still beprotected while I am with them, and they will mostlikely be protected while I am with them too. Or say,on a airplane, I don't care if the pilot has beendrinking and under normal circumstances might crashthe plane. Not while I'm on it, he's not! Why?Because, of my covenant of protection with God. Godhas an obligation to protect me no matter what ishappening around me or in the world. I don't care if awar is raging around me. The Bible says ten thousandwill fall at my right, and a thousand may fall at myleft, but it will not touch me. Why? Because I have acovenant of Protection with God, and He has to takecare of me. Someone says, but God can do anything He wants. Hedoesn't have to take care of you. Yes, He does. He hasto keep His word or He will be a liar. And God is nota man so therefore cannot lie like a human. He made acovenant with Abraham to take care of His own. I canclaim that covenant for myself, because I come fromAbraham's loins, and the covenant was for all of Hischildren and children’s children forever. And Abrahamis my Father. God promised in Exodus, He promised, notto put sickness or disease on me. If He breaks thatpromise to His people, He would have to destroyHimself for lying. What is the abundant life, or the excessive life?Is it abundant life to be sick? Is it abundant lifefor your body to be racked with pain? Is cancer theabundant life? Is diabetes? Is pain the abundantlife? Are cramps the abundant life? Is being blind theabundant life? It's not???? OH wow! So, what does thatmean then? It means that it must not be God's will! So then, what is God's will, if that's not it?Well, didn't the Bible say we can have on earth whatGod's will is in heaven? Didn't He? He didn't? Are yousure? Can you back that up with scripture that it'snot always God's will to heal me? I want to see ascripture that says I cannot be healed. That it's not"always" God's will to heal? Is that in the Bible? Um,not my Bible. That's religion. You won't find onescripture in the Bible to back that up. So, if youcan't find any scripture to back up its not alwaysGods' will to heal, then where did that come from? Howbout the devil? Of course. What better way to deceivemankind than to tell them repeat-ably that it's notalways God's will to heal, and it would never be God'swill to heal me. Shudder the thought. He is evil, evilevil! He wants to keep God's people, sick, busted, andbroke, down, depressed, and sick in their minds. Ofcourse he does. He can be stupid but the last thing hewants is for you and me to find out our rights! I have a right to be healed! It's in my contractyou dumb devil! What is the will of God? It's not somemysterious thing. God's will is His contract with me.Yep, betcha didn't know it was that simple. If healingis in my contract, than it's mine. Healing is thechildren’s bread. It's part of the Christians walk.Sure, I don't have a million scriptures here, but lookat all the healing articles that have been sent tothis list, and you will find tons of scripture thatsays the same thing I am saying here. It all agrees. Okay, so what stops the healing of God, or whydon't some Christians not get healed, if everything Isaid is true? I have answers! I sure do. Not religiousones either. They aren't easy answers, and your fleshwon't like it, but if you really want to know thetruth and be healed, then suck it in soldier and let'sapply the word to our life so we may be healed. See, we have this shield of protection surroundingus, called the Word of God. Now, everyone sins fromtime to time, even me, even preachers. But, we have anadvocate, or a lawyer with God, and we have the bloodof Jesus that if we sin and repent, (repent means tochange not just say your sorry, but really setyourself to change, making a constant conscious effortto change) then God will forgive us. I have thisfriend from Singapore who calls it "wiping the slateclean". That's what God does. He wipes the slate cleanwith the blood of Jesus, and it is like we neversinned. I wish people could do that as well sometimes.That is what true forgiveness is. When sickness, or disease comes on me, I immediatelyas soon as even a sniffle comes, I go, "no you don't.I am healed by the stripes of Jesus, and this has togo in the name of Jesus." Sickness and disease,pressure, strife, lack, stress, etc are all the worksof the enemy, and none of it has any place in my life.Period. No ifs ands or buts. None of this is the workof God, or ordained of God, or is ever used as alesson. We have an enemy of our soul in this earthwho is after our words, after our faith, after ourhealth, after our protection, after our prosperity. Ofcourse he wants you to fail! That's the devils job ismake you fail. But, he has no power, except the powerof deception. All he can do is try to get you tobelieve his lies that God won't heal you. But, wouldyou accept a bag of snakes if I brought them to yourhouse? Would you? Or you would get a shot gun andchase me off? *laughs* Okay well, maybe everyonewouldn't get a gun, but you get my point. So, why praytell, are you letting sickness rule and reign in yourlife??? Kick it OUT already! OUT, OUT, OUT, GET OUT OFMY HOUSE. GET OUT OF MY BODY. GET OFF OF MY BODY. Mybody is the temple of the Holy Ghost! It is not thetemple of sickness and disease! No way! There is nosickness, disease, or lack in heaven, so why will weaccept it on the earth? It's not any different. Make adecision today, to kick out everything of the enemyout of your life, and accept only those things thatlead to edification, those things that are good,lovely, of a good report, and excessive abundant life.Amen! Lord, I pray that the eyes of the understanding ofthe word come upon all who read this, in Jesus name.That their ears will be open to understand; thatrevelation knowledge will flow, and that the enemywill not steal this word from their heart, but that itwill produce a hundred fold in their lives, in theirminds, thoughts, and in their bodies. Confession of faith: I overcome sin with righteousness. I am therighteousness of God, in Christ Jesus. I think onlythe thoughts of God. I speak only the words of God. Iovercome lack with prosperity. I overcome sickness anddisease with health and healing in Jesus name. Thename that is above all names. The name of Jesus isabove the name of sickness and disease. The name ofJesus is over the name of <insert your problem here>.All things not of God, bow your knees to the name ofJesus who is over all other names.
