Topics Discussed:
Knowing God’s Word

- If you want healing, you have to be more aware of what God’s Word says than you are of your sickness.

Renewing Your Mind

- We replace the world with the Word of God.
- You will be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
- Change the operating system. God’s operating system is more true and powerful than the world’s operating system.
How Do I Receive Healing?
- We do not receive healing by begging. Begging is not necessary because God has already established that healing is His Will.
- We ask for healing in Jesus’ name with the expectation that we will receive it.
- Saying “if it is God’s Will” is a statement of unbelief.
- The healing we are receiving has already been paid for and provided for.
The Power of Your Words
- The words you speak are a direct reflection of your heart.
- The words you speak are important.
- Stop saying “my sickness, my illness, etc.” It is not your identity; it is an attack.
- You need to speak the Word of God over your situation.
- Do not deny the situation but deny it’s right to exist in your life.
- Partner up with what God’s Word says over your life.
Forgiveness
- In order to receive healing, we must repent and forgive others.
- Some people are walking in sickness because they are walking in unforgiveness.
- God forgave us, so we must forgive others.
Communion
- Communion renews our mind and reminds us that the blood of Jesus and His broken body that paid for the miracle you need in your body.
- If you are walking in sickness, take communion daily.
Mindset
- A lot of people stay in sickness because sickness gets them a lot of attention.
- Make up your mind that you are going to get well.
- You will not get healthy if you are held in bondage to the lie that God wants you sick.
- Do not succumb to your sickness or disease. Decide to partner up with God.
- Your body will respond to what you believe.
- Not every illness is tied to something physical. Sometimes illnesses can be tied to a broken heart, unforgiveness, etc.
- Ask Holy Spirit to reveal the root cause of the sickness.
Testimonies
- Find testimonies to cling to!
- Testimonies show us that what God did for someone He can and will do it for you!
Practical Steps
- What verses are you standing on? Choose 2 or 3 verses that you can declare over your situation.
- Speak life to your body. This demonstrates power and authority.
- Worship and pray.
- Take communion daily.
- Walk with believers who believe in healing. Community is important.
- Listen to sermons.
