Sometimes we try to discover how we can receive our healing when what we really need to do is find out why we got sick to begin with. If we can find the answer to that question, we can correct the problem and be healed.
Why do Christians get sick? There are many different reasons, but a primary one is a lack of knowledge of God's Word. Isaiah 5:13 says, "Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge." In The Amplified Bible, it says, "Therefore my people go into captivity [to their enemies] without knowing it and because they have no knowledge [of God]."
Many people are bound up and taken captive by the enemy through sickness and disease. Yet they think their physical condition is God's will because they don't have knowledge of His Word.
These people say, "I'm sick for the glory of God!" because they don't know that Jesus paid the price for their healing. They don't have knowledge of the Word, so they are taken captive - and they don't even know it!
But when you get hold of the Word in your heart, it transforms your life. You're set free from the notion that God wants you sick for some purpose of His own, and you can receive the healing that rightfully belongs to you as a covenant child of God!
My God is the God who heals me.
He gets glory from my being healthy.
Therefore, I walk in healing and divine health.
