Listen and be healed!

Under the new covenant of grace, the way we receive healing is simple: Listen! To whom or what shall we listen?

My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. Proverbs 4,20-22

The cross and the salvation through Jesus have made all the difference in the history of mankind. Through Jesus, the new covenant of grace came into effect. He has fulfilled the law and that’s the reason you live under the new covenant today and came under God’s grace. Therefore grace is the center of the new covenant. That is why you should listen to grace. In Proverbs 4 we can see, that the Word of God is like medicine for our body. You take medicine to get well. It’s the same with the Word of God. Every time you take a dose of God’s Word it brings life, healing and health to your body. You take spiritual medicine by reading a single bibleverse, listen to a good message or read a longer passage in the bible. Whenever you hear about grace and Jesus, you position yourself under a waterfall of God’s healing. Your job is to listen, Jesus’ job is to manifest your healing. You don’t have to worry about the manifestation, it will come automatically. Concentrate on the listening part.

Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. Mark 4,27

Similar to putting a seed in the ground and it grows and bears fruit, the gospel of grace produces healing in your body. To put the seed in the ground is to sit down and listen to the gospel of grace. Let Jesus manifest your healing. It is an absolute sure fact, that healing is part oft he salvation through Jesus and it is therefore your legal right, to enjoy complete healing and health.

Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53,4-5

God wants you to know, that it is his explicit wish for you to enjoy good health and all goes well with you (3 John 2). He gave his beloved son for you and along with him, you received everything (Romans 8,32). Listen to what Jesus has done for you, how much he loves you and how precious you are in his eyes. It’s only the grace of God that brings you healing, deliverance and restoration. The cross took the focus away from you and set it to Jesus. It’s no longer do, do, do but done, done, done! Because Jesus already did everything for you, you only need to listen. Through listenig faith arises in your heart and the seed of grace will take root, grow and bear fruit. Listen and be healed!

Lord, restore!

The Lord wants to restore! No matter what has been robbed from you, God will restore.

But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. Isaiah 42,22

That is God’s appeal for you and me, to ask Him to restore. No matter in which area you need restoration, let God do it by speaking out: Lord, restore! By speaking this out, you put your faith in His abilities. You look to Him, the almighty God for whom everything is possible. That is exactly the view we should have. We can do nothing to get restoration, but Jesus already did everything for it. Therefore we can now say: Lord, restore! At the cross, Jesus paid the price for every restoration you can think of. It is your right to receive restoration. Not because of you, but because of Jesus!

For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying , This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after. Jeremia 30,17

This is God’s promise to you, to restore health unto you and to heal you. When God restores, it’s always better than before. You will get more, either in quality or in quantity.

If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. Exodus 22,1

That’s how God is. If you have been robbed of something, God not only replaces your loss, He gives you even more. The number five in Hebrew means grace. It’s God‘s grace, that brings you restoration. Grace also means supply. Therefore, expect God‘s rich grace and supply for every area in your life.

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. Joel 2,25

God will restore to you lost years. His restoration is always bigger and greater than you can ever imagine. Start to ask God for restoration. In every area you need restoration, say: Lord, restore! He will do it!
