HOW TO RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (3): HAVE HANDS LAID ON YOU
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16:18 (KJV)
It is important to clarify here and now that the healer is Christ Jesus. He is the Great Physician who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil. When Jesus Christ finished his earthly ministry, he gave us a person that is just like him called the Holy Spirit to continue his ministry. He commissioned the disciples that later were called apostles to go and preach and do all those things he was doing. He said, ‘as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.’ (John 20:21). Now Jesus Christ is in us in the person of the Holy Spirit. So whenever we walk according to the Word of God, whatever medium that He asked us to use per time, becomes the manifestation of the Spirit of God to effect the release of the Power of God. Today the Lord Jesus is commanding us to lay our hands on the sick and that they will recover. When we walk in obedience and lay our hands, those hands becomes the extension of His hands because He lives in us by the Spirit of God.
If you are challenged and your faith could not handle it, then go to your pastor or anyone that the Holy Spirit would lead you to and have hands laid on you. God gave us the ministry gifts; the apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists to build us up until we come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13 says, ‘ 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:’ James 5:14 says, ‘ Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:’ Elders here means those that are mature in the faith; who teach you the Word of God. It does not mean a man with gray hairs. Elders are those who labour in Word and Doctrine (see I Timothy 5:17). Your pastor is an elder. All the five-fold ministry gifts we mentioned above are elders and they can lay hands on you.
Please be careful who lays hands on you. Evil and men of Satan are everywhere and when they lay hands on you, your problems just multiplies because they are working for Satan even though they are still calling the name of Jesus. So take responsibility and don’t be gullible. But when a man of God lays hands on you, the Holy Spirit confirms the Word by ensuring that you recover because the Word cannot be broken. And you know what? If you are baptised in the Holy Spirit, you can also lay hands on yourself. If there is any challenge in your body, take out time to pray in the tongues of the Spirit and when you sense the anointing, go ahead and lay hands on your head and command that stranger to disappear. Shalom!
REMEMBER: When hands are laid, sickness leave and you recover.
CONFESSION: I am the saved, healed and delivered. I have no business whatsoever with sickness because my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Fullness of life is at work in my body and has made me a life-giver, that when I lay my hands on the sick, they recover immediately. Glory to God!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I declare that you shall be a dispenser of healing and health from now in the name of Christ Jesus Amen!
