These scriptures tell us that we can do things that will allow Satan the upper hand and make us his prisoner. Years ago I found myself in this position. My Pastor promised to do something for our church and then changed his mind. He had the right to change his mind, every person has that right. I know the bible says that a person who promises to do something should stick to his word, but even God wouldn’t make him if he chooses to change. I would not let the matter drop and told the whole church about it. I dishonored the man God had set over me. That act opened the door for Satan to take me prisoner at his will. Things started going wrong in my life and ministry and I never made the connection between my problems and what I had done to my Pastor. Four years later I went to Haiti and held a very successful outreach in that country, but I left there with pain throughout my body. I began to apply the principle I had used for twenty or more years with success but nothing worked. After 29 days of 24 hour constant pain with no relief from the word of God or medicine, I finally asked God what was wrong. After revealing how I had given the devil place, I repented to my Pastor, asking his forgiveness. He did and the pain and problem disappeared. That day I went to the park and played 3 games of volleyball and was the hottest thing on the court at 58 years of age! Six years have passed and I am still enjoying my freedom from the snare of the enemy.  Watch how you think, speak or pray about any leader. They are ordained and anointed of God and He said do not touch them negatively in word, thought or deed.

Let’s follow the disciples through scripture. If this recipe worked for them I believe it will work for us because God is no respecter of persons.

Luk 9:6 KJV And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.

Luk 10:17 KJV And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

Act 6:8 KJV And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.

Act 8:5-7 KJV Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. (6) And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. (7) For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed [with them]: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.

Act 9:17-18 AMP So Ananias left and went into the house. And he laid his hands on Saul and said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, Who appeared to you along the way by which you came here, has sent me that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. (18) And instantly something like scales fell from [Saul's] eyes, and he recovered his sight. Then he arose and was baptized,

Looks like the recipe worked, when someone puts the ingredients together! It was as easy as baking a cake! The recipe will always work when mixed properly. It was design by God to do so. The only the recipe did not work is revealed in the next scripture and the reason why the recipe did not work.

Mat 17:14-21 AMP And when they approached the multitude, a man came up to Him, kneeling before Him and saying, (15) Lord, do pity and have mercy on my son, for he has epilepsy (is moonstruck) and he suffers terribly; for frequently he falls into the fire and many times into the water. (16) And I brought him to Your disciples, and they were not able to cure him. (17) And Jesus answered, O you unbelieving (warped, wayward, rebellious) and thoroughly perverse generation! How long am I to remain with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me. (18) And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly. (19) Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked privately, Why could we not drive it out? (20) He said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith [that is, your lack of firmly relying trust]. For truly I say to you, if you have faith [that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. (21) But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.

The disciples attempted to use the recipe but changed the ingredients. They left the faith out and added unbelief and changed the desired results. They failed to deliver the child because they changed the recipe. Do not change the recipe. It was written by God. It is His prescription for deliverance. You have no right to change it. If you do then you will not experience the correct results. Most failures in deliverance are a result of changing the recipe.

According to the Word of God, we have been given the Recipe for Deliverance: Spiritual Authority; Holy Spirit Power; Faith in God; Corresponding Actions.

WITH THE RECIPE FOR DELIVERANCE WE CAN!!
Win over sickness, disease, infirmities and anything else the enemy wants to bring against us!
Have what it takes to walk in victory!
Are more than conquers!
Are over-comers in Christ!

Let me make this statement at this time. You can’t do the works of Jesus until you believe that you can because He said you can!

Joh 14:12 GW “I can guarantee this truth: Those who believe in me will do the things that I am doing. They will do even greater things because I am going to the Father.

Joh 14:12 MSG the person who trusts me will not only do what I’m doing but even greater things, because I, on my way to the Father, am giving you the same work to do that I’ve been doing. You can count on it.

To do the same works we must use the same recipe! To use the same recipe we must have the same ingredients!

I’ve learned some things about recipes. Recipes are no respecter of persons. They will work for anyone who will use them. A recipe for a cake will work for anyone who will buy the ingredients and take the time to mix and bake the cake according to instructions.
Same recipe + same ingredients = same results!!

The question now is do we have the ingredients call for in the Recipe for Deliverance? If we do, then we are going to prepare some miracles and healings and deliverances! If we have the ingredients, then we can do the works of Jesus whenever and wherever they need to be done. I know its Gods will because He wrote the recipe and gave us the ingredients.

Remember the four ingredients: Spiritual Authority, Holy Spirit Power, Faith in God and Corresponding Actions.

The bible reveals that we have been given every ingredient listed in this Recipe for Deliverance to use as Jesus did.

The Father gives us His Faith: the Son gives His Authority and the Holy Spirit outfits us with His burden removing, yoke destroying Power! The only thing we add is Corresponding Actions. As we act out our faith in God, Jesus develops or brings it to maturity. He is the author and finisher of our faith.(Heb.12:2)

Spiritual Authority: These scriptures reveal the authority that has been given to the believer.

Mat 18:18 AMP Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be what is already permitted in heaven.

Luk 9:1-2 KJV Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. (2) And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

Luk 10:19 KJV Behold, I give unto you power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Eph 1:20-23 MSG All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, (21) in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. (22) He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. (23) The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.

Php 2:9-11 KJVR Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: (10) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (11) And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Mat 28:18 KJV And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying All, power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Joh 14:13-14 KJV And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (14) If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].

Joh 16:23-24 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. (24) Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Holy Spirit Power: These scriptures reveal the promise and fulfillment of God’s power to the believer.

Luk 24:49 KJV And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

Joh 7:37-39 MKJV And in the last day of the great feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. (38) He who believes on Me, as the Scripture has said, “Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” (39) (But He spoke this about the Spirit, which they who believed on Him should receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)

Act 1:8 KJV But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Act 2:4 BBE And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

Act 2:16-21 KJV But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; (17) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: (18) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: (19) And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: (20) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: (21) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Faith in God: The bible states that you have the God kind of faith. It came from God, Himself!

1Jn 5:4 WNT For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.

Rom 12:3 KJV For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Mar 11:22-23 KJV And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. (23) For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Corresponding Actions:

Jas 1:22-25 AMP But be doers of the Word [obey the message], and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves [into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth]. (23) For if anyone only listens to the Word without obeying it and being a doer of it, he is like a man who looks carefully at his [own] natural face in a mirror; (24) For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like. (25) But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience).

Jas 2:17 AMP So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).

Jas 2:20 AMP Are you willing to be shown [proof], you foolish (unproductive, spiritually deficient) fellow, that faith apart from [good] works is inactive and ineffective and worthless?

We see that the recipe was delivered to the disciples along with all of the ingredients. We will now follow scripture to see if they applied what they received.

You Know it is one thing to receive something but another to use what you have receive. People see commercials on how this person used a certain piece of exercise equipment and lost x- amount of pounds. In the heat of the moment they rush out and buy the same equipment. Many times from that point on they never use it. So I say it is one thing to receive something and another to use what you have received!

Joh 5:43 KJVR I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

Joh 10:25 KJVR Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

The phrase “in My Father’s name” means in my Father’s authority or in His stead. Jesus was saying “The Father gave me the authority to act on His behalf; to represent Him on the earth; to do what he would do if He was physically present.” Jesus was God’s Ambassador from heaven to earth.

Mat 9:6-8 KJV But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. (7) And he arose, and departed to his house. (8) But when the multitudes saw [it], they marveled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

This word power in the Greek means authority. Jesus said “I will demonstrate that I have authority to forgive sin by healing this man because of his faith in me.”

Let me interject this statement: Although Jesus was a man of faith; the people he ministered to had to exercise faith in His ability. In the case of children or servants, those who had the authority over the child or servant had to exercise faith in Jesus.

The authority that Jesus operated under was recognized by those around Him. Even demons knew and understood the authority of Jesus.

Luk 7:8 KJV For I also am a man set under authority,……..

Mar 11:28 AMP And they kept saying to Him, By what [sort of] authority are You doing these things, or who gave You this authority to do them?

Luk 4:36 BBE And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out.

Now we will take a look at the second ingredient in our Recipe for Deliverance operating in the life of Jesus which is the Holy Spirit’s power.
Remember Jesus is our example; not Job, not Peter and not Paul; JESUS! We’re commanded to grow up into Him who is the head. God predestined that we conform to the image of Christ. (Eph.4:15; Rom.8:29)

Luk 4:14, 18-19 KJV And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.

This word power is different from the one we looked at earlier. This word is defined as miraculous ability or force. It is the ability given by the Holy Spirit as He comes upon you for service.

It is God’s miraculous ability given to correct creation and any thing that gets out of order. We subdue and have dominion in the earth with this power!!

(18) The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, (19) To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

Act 10:38 KJV How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

We see from scripture that Jesus did not do miracles and heal the sick because He was the Son of God. He healed and did miracles because He was anointed with the Holy Spirit and power. His rights as a Son gave Him the authority, but the Holy Spirit gave Him the power. This is not all that is needed to fulfill the will of God. We must have the other two ingredients.

Our third ingredient in our Recipe for Deliverance is Faith in God. This would include faith in His word. You can’t say you have faith in God and not believe His word because God and His word are one. (See Jn.1:1)

Here is the definition again of Faith in God: Trust and reliance upon the truthfulness of God and His word. Faith is being fully persuaded that God can and will perform what He said.

Heb 11:6 MSG It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him.

Mat 3:17 KJVR And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Several times it’s recorded that Jesus pleases the Father. The book of Hebrews states that the only way to please God is by exercising faith in God.

If it takes faith to please God and Jesus pleased God, then we must conclude that Jesus had faith.

To say I know God is able is not faith. This is just assenting to a historical fact. To say I believe God can and will for me is faith. Faith believes it before it sees it.

Faith calls the thing done before there is any physical proof. (1Jn 5:14-15; Mar 11:24)
Joh 11:41-42 KJV Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. (42) And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

These words revealed the faith Jesus possessed in His Father. Your words spoken from your heart will always reveal your faith or lack of faith. Not only do your words reveal your faith but your actions also. He knew that because He was in the will of God and doing the will of God, God would grant Him whatever He requested! (2Chron.16:9; Ps.34:15; 1Pet.3:12)

Now we come to the forth ingredient in our Recipe for Deliverance which we called Corresponding Actions. Again let us refresh our memory with the definition of corresponding actions. We said that corresponding actions were words, thoughts and deeds that are in agreement with God and His word: actions and words that are in line with your faith.

Jesus corresponding actions here was speaking in faith what He believed in His heart. Jesus didn’t just mentally assent to Mark 11:23; he put it into action. The recipe was mixed, the prescription was taken and a man that had been dead for four days, who had began to decay, came forth alive and whole! Glory to God!!

Joh 11:43-44 KJV And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. (44) And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Whenever I teach, I like to start with defining key words. I believe by doing so, I put the listener or reader on the same mental wave length as I.

So let’s start with the two key words in the title of the message. We will define recipe as a list of ingredients and instructions for making something, especially a food dish. Also a recipe is a method of doing something or a combination of circumstances likely to bring something about. In medicine a recipe is a prescription for a therapeutic preparation.

Here is an interesting fact; the English word heal in our King James Bible is from the Greek word therapeuo from which we derive the word therapeutic.

Now when it comes to deliverance we’re speaking of rescuing from captivity, hardship, sickness, disease, infirmities or domination in any way or form by evil.

There are four ingredients to this Recipe for Deliverance. They are Spiritual Authority; Holy Spirit Power; Faith in God and Corresponding Actions. Let me define each one, so that we will again be on the same mental wave length, so to speak.

#1 Spiritual Authority: The right to govern and control all that is put under man’s rule by God. This is the authority God gave to man in order to subdue and exercise dominion over the works of His hands. (Ps.8:6, Gen.1:26-28, Heb.2:8)

#2 Holy Spirit Power: Burden removing, yoke destroying, supernatural, miraculous ability given by the Holy Spirit. Power that is limitless, immeasurable and that surpasses great! Power that created all things: Power that sustains all things. Power that was used in raising Jesus from the dead! (Isa.10:27; Eph.1:19-23; Rom.8:11)

#3 Faith in God: Trust and reliance upon the truthfulness of God and His word. Faith is being fully persuaded that God can and will perform what He said. (Heb. 11:1; Rom.4:21; Dan.3:17)

#4 Corresponding Actions: Thoughts, words and deeds that are in agreement with God and His word: thoughts, words and actions that are in line with your faith. (Jas.1:22-25; 2:14, 17, 20, 26)

When these four ingredients are mixed properly the results will always be miracles, healings and deliverances from danger or any evil or work of Satan!

This recipe will produce any kind of deliverance needed, anywhere, anytime! This recipe is the foundation for a fruitful prayer life! This prescription is the key to winning in life.

 Proverbs 4:20-22,   My son, attend to My Words; incline thine ear unto My sayings.  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

God’s Word is Life to Those Who Find It.

I find that if I study a word from its original language, I understand more of what the author is saying. I did this with several words from the above scripture. The Hebrew word for life is chay (khah’ – ee), meaning:  Living, alive, life, or maintenance.  Chay is derived from the Hebrew word chayah (khaw – yaw’):  meaning:  To restore to life or health, or, to revive from sickness or death. So this is what I get from the scripture were looking at. If I follow the instructions given then God’s word will perform maintenance on my body. We in the natural do maintenance on our homes, autos, clothing and even our teeth but most of us forget to do maintenance on our bodies! This scripture says that God’s word will maintain and revive your body from death, sickness and disease.  Now I know why Jesus said that man would live by the word of God.

Psalms 107:20, He (God) sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Psalms 119:116, Uphold me according unto Thy Word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Proverbs 4:4-9,   He taught me also, and said unto me, let thine heart retain my words:  keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom, get understanding.. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee…

Proverbs 7:2-3,   Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.

Psalms 105:37, He (God) brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

Ezekiel 37:1-10,   And He (God) said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live?  And I answered, O Lord God, Thou knowest. Again He said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the Word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live…So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

 The Greek word for life is Zoe, meaning:  Life in the absolute. Life as God has Life Absolute is defined as perfect in quality or nature; complete; not mixed; not limited by restrictions or exceptions. To better understand what I am saying, let’s look at absolute zero is -459.97 degrees Fahrenheit.  Absolute zero is a temperature at which all molecular functions cease because of total absence of heat. Absolute Life, Zoe, is a quality of life totally void of darkness, sickness, disease, feebleness, and death in its working.

Matthew 4:4,   But He (Jesus) answered and said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

John 6:63,   It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: The words I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

John 10:10,   The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.       

John 11:40-44,   Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest  believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?  Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.  And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me.  And I knew that Thou hearest me always And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.  And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

The absolute life that is in God’s word went into the tomb of Lazarus’ body while he was in the tomb and destroyed everything contrary to absolute life. Jesus sent the Elixir of Life to His dead friend and the Elixir did its job.

God’s Word is Medicine to Those Who Take It

Some make the mistake of believing in God’s medicine for taking the medicine. Believing in food but not eating it causes death. Believing in water but not drinking it causes death. Believing in healing but not taking God’s medicine would do no good. Lets us draw a parallels between God’s medicine (His Word) and natural medicine. God’s medicine and natural medicine are both healing agents which when used properly contain the capacity to bring about healing. Some natural medicines fail to work but God’s medicine always works. God’s medicine and natural medicine are no respecters of persons. Medicine will work for anyone who will take it. God’s will to heal is revealed in the fact that He gave the medicine. Both are prescribed by doctors. 

Exod. 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Leeser’s translation for God is “the Lord thy Physician“.

Rotherham’s translation for God is “Yahweh thy Physician“.

Goodspeed’s translation for God is “the Lord Who makes you immune to those diseases“.

Medicine must be taken according to directions to be effective. Natural medicine:  Take internally; take externally; after meals; before meals; once daily; three times a day. Proverbs 4:20-22 is God’s directions for taking His medicine.

 Proverbs 4:20-22,   My son, attend to My Words; incline thine ear unto My sayings.  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

No matter how good the medicine is, or where it comes from, it must be taken according to directions, or it will not work. It takes time for medicine to work. Most people give natural medicine a lot of time, patience, and money to work. They diligently return for refills of their natural medicine. Treat God’s medicine the same: the more you take it, the more health you will experience.

The Key Method to Taking God’s Medicine is Meditation on God’s Word.

Meditation is defined as to say or mutter; to speak to oneself in low tones of voice; to revolve around in the mind; to study or ponder.

Joshua 1:8,   This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:  for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

God’s Word must govern our thoughts and speech. God’s Word must be acted upon. God’s Word will empower us to prosper in our bodies.

Psalms 1:1-3,   Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night.  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Blessed is defined as empowered to prosper.

He (you) shall bring forth fruit…

Mark 4:24,   And He (Jesus) said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure   ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. (See Amp. Bible)

Thought and study produces understanding. Thought and study produces power. Thought and study enables you to experience God’s grace

2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

John 8:31-32, Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My Word, then are ye

My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Disciples persist in the Word. Persistence produces knowledge of the truth. Knowledge of the truth liberates you from certain mortal liabilities.  Do you know what mortal liabilities are? The word mortal means death doomed or subject to death. The curse of sickness, disease, infirmities, death and failure in every realm of life comes under the heading of mortal liabilities. Jesus said the Truth which is the Word of God is the Elixir of God that delivers us and enables us to above these mortal liabilities.

This Word of God must govern every utterance of ours, and, must occupy our every thought.  That Elixir will then flow from our innermost being and drive out everything that does not agree with the will of God. You should take an overdose of this Elixir at lease three times a day. Then watch your body begin to change. 

My Testimony:

I was born sick with underdeveloped lungs and asthma. I grew up a sickly child. In my young adulthood I acquired a very bad sinus problem that would incapacitate me for days. People say that as you get older, your health gets worst. I began to change my health condition thirty two years ago. I found the Elixir of Life and began to take it daily and it has changed my health profile. Today at 63 years of age I am on no medication except the Elixir. I get a physical every year followed by an excellent report. The Word of God say Jesus upholds all things by the Word of His Power. That Word upholds me! To Him be the Glory!!!!

                    In 3 John 2, our Heavenly Father, speaking through the apostle John, said that He wills that we prosper and be in health even as our soul prospers.  Health is ordained of God and is a part of our blood bought covenant.  Galatians 3:13 states that we are redeemed from the curse of the Law. The curse was spiritual death, sickness, disease and failure in every arena of life. It is our covenant right to be free from sickness and disease.  We access the rights to our covenant by using the weapons which God has made available to us.

                   One of the most powerful weapons which God has made available to us is His Word.  When we speak the Word of God, all of heaven backs us up.  Jesus said, in Matthew 17:20, that if we had the faith as a grain of mustard seed, we could speak to any mountain and command it to be removed and it would be removed, and nothing would be impossible to us.  He didn’t say to think about the mountain, or look at the mountain, or talk about the mountain, He said to speak to the mountain. Sickness and disease is representative of mountains in our lives.  Our deliverance from the mountains of sickness and disease is as near to us as the words in our mouths. 

                  Proverbs 4:20-22 tells us to give attention to the Word of God, because it is health and healing to all our flesh.  As you give your attention to the Word of God, speaking it forth on a daily basis, keeping it in your mouth, before your eyes, in your heart, meditating on it day and night, you can expect all of heaven to back you up and produce health in your body. Joel 3:10b says “let the weak say I am strong.” Say these confessions out loud two or three (or more) times a day, and watch your health spring forth, because “Healing Belongs to You“.

Proverbs 4:20-22,  My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

I give attention to God’s Word.  I give God’s Word first place in my life.  I submit and consent to God’s Word.  I do not let God’s Word depart from my eyes.  I keep God’s Word in the midst of my heart.  For it is life to me because I have found it, and, it is health and healing to all of my flesh.

Exodus 15:25-26,  And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet:  there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I brought upon the Egyptians:  for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

I am diligent to listen to and obey the voice of the Lord my God and I do what is right in His sight.  I give ear to and consent and submit to His Word and I keep all of His statutes.  God has not put any disease upon me for God is my Lord Who heals me.  I receive my healing now in the Name of Jesus.

Exodus 23:25, And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and He shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

I am a child of God.  I serve the Lord my God.  God has blessed my bread and my water.  My God has taken sickness and disease out of my midst.  Sickness and disease cannot stay in my body because God has taken it away from me.  I walk in divine health.  I am healthy now in the Name of Jesus.

Psalms 91: 1-6, 10, He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress:  my God; in Him will I trust.  Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.  He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust:  His truth shall be my shield and buckler.  Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; for the destruction that wasteth at noon day.  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh they dwelling.

I dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and, I remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty.  Sickness and disease cannot withstand the power of my heavenly Father.  Sickness and disease are enemies to God and enemies to me.  The Lord is my Refuge, my Fortress, and my God.  I lean on, trust in, and rely on Him.  I am confident that He will deliver me from sickness and disease.  I trust in God’s faithfulness.  He never changes.  He is always the same.  He keeps me safe from hidden dangers and deadly diseases.  Because I dwell in His secret place, no evil befalls me, and no plague comes near my dwelling.

Psalms 91:14-16, Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him:  I will set him on high, because he has known My Name.  He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him:  I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.  With long life will I satisfy him, and show him My salvation.

Because I have set my love upon God, He will deliver me.  God has set me on high.  I am seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus.  I know and understand God’s Name. He is Jehovah Rapha, the God who is my Healer.  I have a personal knowledge of God’s mercy (which is new towards me every morning), His unconditional love, and His kindness.  I trust and rely solely upon God because I know that He will never leave or forsake me.  When I call upon God, He always answers me.  He is with me in trouble.  He is with me right now.  He delivers me and honors me.  He is satisfying me with long life.  I will live a long healthy life.  I will not die.  I’ve decided I’m going to live until I’m satisfied.  God is showing me His salvation right now.  He’s showing me His deliverance, His protection, and His healing power.  That power is flowing through my body right now.  God is healing me right now.  I believe I have received my healing now.  Sickness and disease cannot prosper against me because God is my Deliverer and my Healer.

Psalms 103: 2-5,  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases.  Who redeemeth thy life from destructions; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles.

I praise you Lord God.  I give You thanks for all of your benefits.  I thank You for forgiving all of my iniquities and allowing me to stand upright before You.  I praise You Lord God for healing each one of all my diseases.  I believe I am healed now.  I believe I am healthy.  Father, You do not just heal some diseases, You heal all diseases.  I thank you Lord that I am healed right now.  I thank You that You have redeemed my life from the pit and from destruction. The devil will not destroy me with sickness and disease.  I will not allow it.  I thank You Lord, for crowning me with Your loving kindness and tender mercy, and, satisfying my mouth with good so that my youth is renewed like the eagle’s.  My body is strong and full of health.  I look better and better every day.  My body is being renewed right now. Every tissue and organ in my body is performing a perfect work.  I am healthy.  I am healthy. I am healthy.

Isaiah 53:3-5,  He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:  and we hid as it were our faces from Him: He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.  Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.  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.eH

Jesus bore all sickness and disease so that I don’t have to bear them.  He took every sickness and every disease known to man upon His own body.  I refuse to bear what Jesus has already borne for me.  I will not allow any disease or sickness to live in my body.  Jesus took all of my weakness and pain.  I refuse to allow weakness and pain to stay in my body.  I am healed by the stripes that wounded Jesus.  I am healed right now.  I receive health in place of sickness, strength in place of weakness, and comfort in place of pain.  I am healed by Jesus’ wounds.  I am healed by Jesus’ wounds.  I am healed by Jesus’ wounds.

Acts 10:38,  How God anointed Jesus of Nazereth with the Holy Ghost and with power;  Who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.

Sickness and disease are oppression from the devil.  Sickness and disease do not come from God.  I refuse to be oppressed by the devil.  Jesus went about healing all that were oppressed of the devil, which means He went about healing all who were sick or diseased.  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Since He was healing, and, He has not changed, He is still healing.  It is good to be healed and healthy.  It is God’s will to be healed and healthy.  Therefore, I receive my healing now.  I have decided to live out the rest of my days here on earth in health.  My health is already paid for by Jesus’ wounds.  Since He already paid for it, I believe I’ll just receive it right now.  Thank You Lord God for my healing.  I thank You that I am healthy now in Jesus’ Name.

Luke 10;19,  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy:  and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

I have power over you sickness and disease.  You cannot hurt me.  I will not allow you to harm my body.  I say, “Go”, in the Name of Jesus.  You cannot stay.  I take my authority over you and I command you to leave in the Name of Jesus.  I am healthy.  I am healthy.  I am healthy.

Galatians 3:13,  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree.

Sickness and disease is a curse of the law.  Christ redeemed me and purchased my freedom from the curse of the law.  Sickness and disease are not a part of my blood bought covenant.  Jesus hung on the tree and took the curse of the law upon Himself so that I would not have to.  Since Jesus already took the curse in my place, I refuse to take the curse.  Sickness and disease you leave my body.  Pain you leave my body.  I will not allow you to trespass on my body.  You are an illegal alien.  You cannot stay.  I say go now!  I was healed by Jesus’ wounds, therefore, I am healthy.  I refuse to be sick.  I command every tissue and organ in my body to be healthy in the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Philippians 4:6,  Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

                 God has already promised us that healing belongs to us.  Just as we were redeemed from spiritual death (sin) we were also redeemed from sickness and disease.  It is up to us to believe and receive our redemption.  One of the ways which we can express our belief in the fact that God has delivered us is through praising and worshipping God. The Bible says in Acts 16:25-26 that when Paul and Silas were in prison, at midnight they began to pray and sing praises to God.  As they were praising God, the prison doors were opened and everyone was set free from their shackles.  God desires that we be set free from the prison of sickness and the shackles of disease that the devil has tried to oppress us with.  But there is a part that we play. After we have prayed and confessed the Word of God, we must continue to praise God for our healing.  Take this time and begin to praise and worship God for what He has already done.  Worship Him several times a day until you see and after you see the manifestation of healing in your body.

                  Father, I thank and praise You because You are Jehovah Rapha, the God Who heals me.  You are my Physician.  You are the Lord Who heals me.  You did send Your Word and healed me.  I thank and praise You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who paid the price for my healing at Calvary’s cross. I thank You Heavenly Father that sickness and disease have no authority over me.  I am the healed.  I am the redeemed.  I thank you that you are the same yesterday, today, and forever.  You never change.  I praise You Lord that Your healing power ins flowing through me right now driving out every symptom of sickness and disease.  I believe You have healed me.  I thank You for Your willingness and desire to heal me.  I thank you that I am not healed by what I feel or what man says.  I am healed by Jesus’ wounds.  I thank You, Father that Your Word is medicine to my flesh and it is working in my body right now:  driving out every symptom of sickness and disease.  I thank You that You do want me well because You are glorified in my being well.  I thank You that I am restored to health.  I thank You that I have been made perfectly sound in my body through the Name of Jesus.  I thank You that You are for my body and my body is for You.  I thank You for total restoration of every tissue and organ in my body.  I thank You that sickness and disease cannot prosper against me.  I thank You Lord for healing me, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.

                  Several years ago I injured myself very badly. The injury caused tremendous pain throughout my entire body. At times the pain got so great that I would almost pass out. Whether I was walking, sitting or laying the pain persisted. I wasn’t taking medicine because I had received deliverance with my faith in God many times before. I’m not against doctors or medicine but I had come to the place where I could bypass the natural remedies and go directly to God and receive. I began to apply some of the things I had been taught that brings deliverance but nothing was working. I rebuked satan; I used the name of Jesus and commanded the pain to go and the body to be healed; I praised the Lord and confessed that I was healed, but nothing was working. I even waited for the manifestation but the man from the station never came. Finally I ask God what was the hindrance. He replied that I had gotten so busy that I had allowed my spirit to become emptied of His word. I had allowed His word to depart from my eyes and mouth. He said that I was quoting the word from my head but there was not a heart and mouth connection. I was empty. My sword of the spirit was dull. Since I couldn’t work, I decided to go home and feed my spirit with the word of God. I listen to healing tapes and read healing scriptures for four hours strait and I was totally healed of my affliction. The word of God became medicine to all my flesh. The man from the station came with the manifestation! God’s word works; Glory.

                   God does want you well.  Healing does belong to you.  It is up to you whether or not you receive your healing.  It is your faith that makes you whole.  The Bible says you can have what you say.  Begin to say “I was healed by Jesus’ wounds”, because “HEALING BELONGS TO YOU.”
