If you say, �By His stripes I am healed, and therefore I am not sick then you are putting faith into action �.. you are confessing what is both Spiritual and Scriptural and if the Word of God says it, it is true.

James 1:2
�Count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations.�

Temptations are test and trials �.. the Word says to �count them ALL Joy �.. �don�t worry be happy� start praising God and laugh at the Devil�s attempt to superscede what the Word says: �By His Stripes you were healed� �� not �.. will be healed (future tense) �.. but �.. (past tense) you were healed.

These Christians I hear spouting those words �well if it�s God�s will� I�ll be healed �.. make me want to puke. They will not be swayed from this belief because of their own stubbornness. God�s will was that He sent His Son to die for our Salvation �.. this Salvation was not a piece by piece thing Salvation means TOTAL DELIVERANCE.Did He not also say: "I have come to give you life and more abundantly." Then what is His will in our lives that we should die or that we should live and more abundantly.

Isaiah 53:5 �But He was (1)wounded for our transgressions, He was (2)bruised for our iniquities; The (3)chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and (4)by His stripes we were healed.� Do you not think these four items cover it?

We have because we believe! If not then we are not true believers!

Mark 11: 22, 23 �So Jesus answered and said to them: �Have faith in God. (23) for assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things will be done, he will have whatever he says.�

�Have faith in God� �.. man has never been able to best God at anything and neither has Satan �.. so �.. put your faith in the Creator ..... God. It says to speak to your mountain that it be cast away into the sea and do not doubt that it will be as you said it. Jesus promised this would be so and He is not a liar.

In this verse we see the word BELIEVE once and a form of the word SAY three times �.. would this not bring you to believe that you have to speak to your problem as a confession of your faith �.. BUT �.. you still �shall not doubt in your heart� as the KJV puts it.

Believe God�s Word, Confess It, Then Possess It!
If you wait until you possess your healing or the removal of whatever the mountain is in your life then you are wrong.

Romans 10:9,10 That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10)For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The formula stated here is that first you �confess with your mouth� �.. and you �believe in your heart.� When you believe with your heart you do not waver back and forth like waves on a sea shore. Believing with your mind however is subject to thought process �.. to the invasion of different warring factors especially that of doubt and fear.

�For with the heart one believes and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation�

As I said before Salvation is TOTAL deliverance. Whatever we confess to the Father thru His Son Christ Jesus will be given to us. This is a promise found in God�s Word the Bible.

We�ve heard of the �Great Commission� �.. but �.. one author says Christianity is the �Great Confession� The law he says of that great confession is that I confess I have obtained the promises of God�s Word before I consciously possess them in the natural realm.(Kenneth Hagin) (D)

2 Corinthians 4
13And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke,"] we also believe and therefore speak,

Mind you Satan is going to try and have you believe his lies and put a guilt trip on you as he has done to me in the past saying �Oh, a good Christian like you shouldn�t lie� �.. �your not healed� but he is a liar literally straight from the pits of Hell. God�s Word says in Isaiah 53:5 �.. that �by His stripes we were healed� this promise was given over two thousand years ago thru the prophet Isaiah.

My God is the same yesterday �.. today �.. forever!

When I went into the hospital the emergency ward at one of the local hospital treated me more like a nuisance then as a person with a serious ailment and sent me to my family physician who in turn sent me back the next day Monday to see Dr. Billgasim who booked me a room immediately and operated on me just as fast. I had a 4"X4" pocket of "Fourniers' Gangerene and my surgeon said he did not know whether to send sew me up and send me home or cut my leg off at the gorin. Something must have told him to go in and clean it out and so he did.

The first time he sent me home he told me I would probably have to go back to be cleaned out again and sure enough my home care nurse sent me back by ambulance three days later.

After the second operation between my surgeon and my heavenly surgeon I came out and walked the same afternoon and all this time I knew that I knew I was coming out the other side even though people spoke death and that I was going to die �.. Christians especially �.. either as Christians we believe or we call our Saviour a liar and crucify Him once again.

Even when I came out and claimed to be totally healed the Christians closest around me tried to claim I was not healed because of the frailty of man to not heal fleshly as fast as our Spiritual self accepts our healing.

I told them that once we ask we must immediately believe we have received �.. even before the receiving and give thanks for the healing or miracle �.. or anything else we have asked for.

We must learn to see through our circumstances to the end result and constantly believe that we will receive that which we have asked for.
The Word says to: �ask anything in my name �.. BELIEVING and I will �.. Christ says ask it of My Father and He will give it to you!
