It was fun how this revelation came to me. Most of the people in our Church know that when I get sick, I don't take medicine. Just water, rest and declaration of the word of God. It's not that I have anything against medicine, it's just where my faith is. And all through those few times that I got sick, I did recover. And my recovery was even much faster than when I used to take meds. And by the way, as far as I can remember, I never had been sick since Gab was born, which means that is about 2 years already. Gab's turning 2 in April. Normally, I would get really sick at least once in a year.
And so I was meditating whether it is really right not to take medicine? Medicine does help. But which is better, not taking medicine or taking medicine?
I was asking myself, if Jesus came to give us life and He came already and He is now back to where He was from, then His purpose for coming here was already accomplished, for He cannot fail. (I got into this line of thinking from listening to Pastor Chris).
And then the Holy Spirit made me remember what the Lord Jesus said: It is not the healthy that needs the physician but the sick. So suddenly my spirit leaped in the inside of me and I said to myself: Ha! I do not need the physician. He is for the sick and I am not sick! : ) The bits and pieces of the word of God just fits neatly, and tightly together.
It may appear to some that I went out of context there, but that is how the Holy Spirit works in me. That is how He gives light to the treasures that are in the Word. No wonder how He says, my words are spirit and they are life. And I truly believe that unless we look into the spirit of those words, we will never benefit anything no matter how right we are in context.
I do not mean to give offense to the Medical profession but I really am convinced that the Medical profession is not for Christians for Christians are not sick. And to even take you further down the road, we are in fact dead already. And yet we live, but it is no longer us who live but it is Christ who lives in us. And Christ really doesn't need a physician. In fact He himself is the Physician and He completed His task of healing His people already.
You see we are not going to be saved, we are saved already. We are not going to Zion, we have arrived! That is in Heb 12:22. Read it, I'm not making up all these. And about Zion, the inhabitant there shall not say I am sick. That is in Isa 33:24. See again, there is power in agreeing and declaring the word of God. That's the principle of faith. Believe it with your heart and confess it with your mouth. Look it up in Rom 10:9-10.
And so I resolve in my heart, we don't need no medicine man. The physician is for the sick and we're not sick. And we will not be sick anymore for the rest of our lives.
