Shalom,

We have been goiong through Mark Brazee's "365 Days of Healing" devotional in Morning Prayer at The Spoken Word Church this year. I want to share today's because it is so vital!

Discern the Lord’s Body 

The major reason many sick people stay sick is that they don’t know whether or not God wants them healed. They don’t understand why Jesus’ body was broken. They are “...not discerning [not fully understanding or duly appreciating] the Lord’s body."

Many people don’t realize Jesus’ body was broken for their physical health as much as His blood was shed for the forgiveness of their sins. Therefore, they don’t know it’s God’s will to heal them.

I’ve heard people say, “Oh, yes, I believe that God can heal today. But sometimes He does, and sometimes He doesn’t. We can never know  who will receive their healing and who won’t.” Yet that isn’t faith. Faith begins where the will of God is known.

Discern the Lord’s body rightly; understand that it was broken for you. Feed your spirit with the truth that by Jesus’ stripes you were healed. (1 Peter 2:24) Keep meditating on that truth until you know that you know God wants you healed. Then you can be sure when you ask God for your healing that you’re truly praying the prayer of faith.

Jesus’ body was broken for my physical health as surely as His blood was shed for my sins. I believe I receive healing in my body now.

For he that eats and drinks [communion] unworthily, eat and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 1 Corinthians 11:29, 30

AMEN! My favorite line here is "Faith begins where the will of God is known"! THIS is TRUTH! Romans 10:17 tells us this:

17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Get into the Word of God to find out what belongs to you as a born again child of God! His WORD is His WILL! Meditate on that until it becomes SO real to you that doubty is driven out! Now speak that over yourself and LIVE in the reality of His promises! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":

Shalom in Him!
