Healing Confessions for the Believer

Jesus Christ has borne my sicknesses and carried my pain. He was stricken, smitten of God and afflicted for me. He was wounded for our transgressions and He was bruised for my guilt and iniquities. The chastisement needed to obtain peace and well-being for me was upon Him, and with the stripes that wounded Him, I am healed and made whole. I now have perfect health in my body. {Isaiah 53:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24}

Jesus destroyed the works of the devil, which were diseases, sicknesses, and bodily infirmities; therefore, all the works of the devil upon my body are destroyed and I have perfect health in Jesus name. 

{Matthew 8:17; 1 John 3:8; Acts 10:38}

The Spirit of God who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in me and He who raised up Jesus Christ from the dead also quickens and gives life to my mortal body through His Spirit who now dwells in me. {Romans 8:11}

I will not just have manifestations, I will have evidence!

I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in my heart that God has raised Him from the dead. I am saved and I am healed. For with my heart, I believe unto righteousness and with my mouth confession is made unto salvation, healing and health. {Romans10:9,10; Mark 5:23; Acts 14:9}

My health springs forth and the glory of the Lord is revealed in me. The Lord brings me health and cure, revealing unto me the abundance of His peace and truth. {Isaiah 58:8; John 17:22; Jeremiah 33:6}

I walk in divine health, for Jesus has conquered sickness in my life. I walk in divine health and divine life, because I have God's divine nature. Jesus took all my sickness upon His body, and by suffering, I am healed; divine health pulsates through every cell of my body daily. Sickness and disease cannot, and will not latch itself to or stay in my body. {2 Peter 1:4; Matthew 8:17}

What Jesus Taught about the Holy Spirit

In three important chapters (John 14-16 and Acts 1:5,8) the Lord Jesus opened His heart to His disciples. With compelling love, He poured out His soul. Shortly, He would pour out His Spirit upon His disciples. In the record of His last hours with the people He had chosen to be with Him, and with words full of compassion, He spoke to them as friends. What He said was full of insight into what the Holy Spirit would mean in their lives after He went back to His Father. Jesus made the following statements about the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the believer:

1) God the Father sends the Holy Spirit.

2) He will be with us always.
3) He teaches us all things; He reminds us of what Jesus has said.

4) He gives testimony of Jesus.

5) The world cannot receive Him; He reproves the world of sin; He convinces the sinner of their sinfulness.

6) He guides us into all truth.

7) He will show us things to come.

8) He glorifies Jesus.

9) He will tell us what Jesus is saying. 
10) He baptizes us into Jesus Christ; He puts us into Christ.
11) He empowers us to give a clear and understandable testimony of Jesus Christ; He empowers us to witness. He enables the hearer to understand our testimony; our witness.

You might as well try to hear without ears or breathe without lungs, as try to live a Christian life without the Spirit of God in your heart. (D. L. Moody)

The average church member’s understanding of the Holy Spirit is so vague it is nearly non-existent. The study of the Holy Spirit in theological terminology is called pneumatology. The study of the Holy Spirit raises certain basic questions. Who is the Holy Spirit? What is the biblical evidence for the personhood of the Spirit? What did the Holy Spirit do in regard to creation and revelation? What is the Holy Spirit’s role in a person’s conversion and sanctification? What about spiritual gifts? The Holy Spirit is a member of the Trinity and as such is a Person. 

The Holy Spirit has attributes that only a person could have:

a) He has intelligence. (1 Corinthians 2:10-13)

b) He has feelings or emotions. (Ephesians 4:30)

c) He has a will. (1 Corinthians 12:11; Acts 16:6-12)

d) He prays. (Romans 8:26) 

e) He does miracles. (Acts 8:39)

f) He can be lied to. (Acts 5:3) 

g) He can be insulted. (Hebrews 10:29)
h) He brings spiritual gifts; He gives spiritual gifts. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11)
