Either Jesus paid for our healing on the cross, or He didn't. He did it, as far as I'm concerned. It's settled in my heart and mind.
As a matter of fact, when I got it settled in my heart that God still heals people today, that God sets people free, and that it's His will for people to be healed, healthy, and prosperous, it got me kicked out of my Full Gospel church!
I also found out it was God's will for me to have power in my life. I didn't have to be a little weakling who whimpered.
Yet some say, "You just never know what God might do." But I know what God will do: He'll do what He says in His word. I refuse to let the devil steal my family, kill my kids, or rob from me.
Religion will teach you how to be sick. This error has even crept into Charismatic churches. It is a deceptive lie.
Did you know that the church you go to could be a matter of life or death for you? You need to go to a church where they preach the bible and victory, not a diet of unbelief.
I want you to look at a scripture from First Corinthians 11. I preach a lot out of First Corinthians, especially from the twelfth through the fourteenth chapters.
This is from First Corinthians 11, beginning with verse 23:
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:"Remembrance" means to remind or call to mind and believe it. The phrase "in remembrance of me" doesn't mean "in memory of."
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
(1 Cor. 11:23-25)
Many people take Communion in memory of "poor Jesus." Don't say "poor Jesus," because He's seated on the right hand of the Father, and He's already passed His test!
What Jesus is saying is that we are to renew our minds and put ourselves into remembrance of what was provided for us on Calvary. One of the things Jesus has provided is that He stripped Satan of all his power and authority!
The Source of Satan's Power
"If this is so," you may ask, "where does Satan get his power today?" He gets it from you and me!
Satan is a leech. The Bible says he goes around as a roaring lion. He isn't a lion; he goes around as a roaring lion. In other words, he goes around imitating a lion - and his roar can be very loud.
Doctors may have diagnosed cancer in your body - and you shake with fear.
After two women got healed of cancer in a healing service in the early 50s, the devil returned to them and tried to put symptoms back on them. One of the women resisted his tricks in the Name of Jesus. But the other said, "Well, I guess I didn't get my healing," and she died.
When an autopsy was performed, they couldn't find one trace of cancer in her body. The devil killed her with symptoms! That's how he defeats most of us. Put yourself in remembrance of what Jesus did for us.
We're not to go back, remember what men did to Jesus, and cry over "poor Jesus."
What the Lord is saying is, "Put yourself into remembrance of what I provided for you at Calvary. Put yourself into remembrance that I've given you power and deliverance in my Name. Walk in it, and don't forget it."
That's what "put into remembrance" means: Don't forget what manner of man or woman you are.
