GOD CALLS SICKNESS CAPTIVITY, BONDAGE, AND OPPRESSION
1. CAPTIVITY-Job 2:7 So Satan struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.
Job 42:10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends...
GODâS ANSWER TO CAPTIVITY:
(Luke 4:18) (Jesus read) The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed me...to proclaim liberty to the captives.
2. BONDAGE- a woman who had a spirit of infirmity and was bent over and could not raise herself up... ought not this woman ... whom Satan has BOUND... be loosed...(Luke 13:11,16)
ANSWER FOR BONDAGE: (Luke 4:18) (Jesus read) The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed me
to...proclaim liberty to the captives.
3. OPPRESSED (Acts 10:38) God anointed Jesus ... with the Holy Spirit and with power who went about doing good and HEALING all who were OPPRESSED BY THE DEVIL for God was with Him.
ANSWER TO OPPRESSED: Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because He has anointed me ...to set at liberty those who are oppressed...
Heb 13:8 Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever.
HINDRANCES TO RECEIVING HEALING
Wrong believing:
1.God BUILDS FAITH by trial, temptations, afflictions Persecutions, tribulations.
sickness and disease.
TRUTH: God builds faith thought the word.
SCRIPTURE: So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)
The devil brings trials, tribulation, temptation, persecutions and afflictions on us to steal the word and make us doubt God and the Word
(Mark 4:17, Luke 8, Matt 13), (the sower sows the word parable)
WRONG BELIEVING: God uses sickness and circumstances to TEACH
and DISCIPLINE us.
TRUTH: If that were true then the world would be super smart by now according to all the diseases. He would be unfair to discipline us by sickness because Jesus already carried our sickness.
SCRIPTURE: All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Tim 3:16)
The Holy Spirit teaches us. (1 Corn 2:13)
The anointing teaches us. (1 John 2:27)
WRONG BELIEVING: God uses circumstances and sickness to HUMBLE
US. God ALLOWS whatever happens to us to happen.
TRUTH: You humble yourself, You resist the devil.
SCRIPTURE: (1PET 5:6) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, you resist the devil. (James 4:7)
You humble yourself. James 4:10
WRONG BELIEVING: God uses circumstances and sickness in our life to build Godly CHARACTER in us.
TRUTH: If that were true we all would be very Godly, because weâve all been through trials. God uses the word to make us like Him. He also has imparted to us His nature in the new birth.
SCRIPTURE: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:4)
WRONG BELIEVING: God GETS GLORY out of me being sick.
TRUTH: If God got glory out of you being sick why do you take medicine or see a doctor? You would be stealing
Godâs glory. If God gets glory out of sickness why not pray your children get sick so they too can give God glory. Being healed gives God glory and demonstrates His love for us. Healing is also demonstrated in that He is a risen Lord.
SCRIPTURE: He said to the paralyzed man take up your bed and go home. Immediately he rose... and departed home GLORIFYING God. (Luke 5:24-25)
Receive your sight... and immediately he received his sight and followed Him glorifying God. (Luke 18:42-43)
WRONG BELIEVING: Healing is past. We receive our healing when we die.
TRUTH: If healing is past then the name of Jesus would not work for salvation or anything else. The Name of Jesus is just as powerful today as it was when He was on earth. How do you explain the millions of people that have been healed by God in the past years if healing is not for today?
There will be no devil in heaven therefore there will be no sickness, so Jesus took our sickness and diseases so we could receive healing on earth now.
SCRIPTURE: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. (Heb 13:8)
He went about healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38)
Beloved, I wish above all things that you
prosper and be in health as you soul prospers. (3John 1:2)
WRONG BELIEVING: God is testing me.
TRUTH: The word tempted and tested are the same Greek word. The devil is called the tempter.
SCRIPTURE:
(Luke 4:2) (Jesus) being tempted (tested) for forty days by the devilâ¦.
(1Cor 3:20) The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise⦠(In the parable of the sower sows the Word, the 2nd group of people are the ones that fall away because of testing. This is the purpose of testing, to cause you to doubt the integrity of Godâs Word)
(Luke 8:13) but the ones that fell on the rocks⦠have no root who believe for a while
and in time of temptation (testing), fall away. (James 2:13) Let no one say⦠I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil nor does He Himself tempt anyone.
WRONG BELIEVING: What about Paulâs thorn?
TRUTH & SCRIPTURE (Co 12:7) âThe thorn in the fleshâ is also a term used 2 other places in the Bible. (Num. 3:55, Jud 2:3)
It is a saying, meaning, as we would say today, âYou are a pain in the neck.â You must also consider that the messenger was sent to buffet (hit over and over) Paul. Why? Because of the revelation he received of God. Why would God tell Him something, then buffet him?
He asked God three times to remove it and God said, âMy grace is sufficient for you.â Godâs grace is undeserved favor, Godâs willingness to use His power and wisdom for us and toward us. God gave us an abundance of grace.
We are told to resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7) We are not told to ask God to do it, but take authority ourselves. God was not saying, âNo I canât take it away.â He said, âI gave you the power and authority, so that you would make it leave.â
WRONG BELIEVING:
1. What about thanking God for everything?
2. Or being content in whatever state Iâm in? (Eph 5:20, 1Thes 5:18)
TRUTH: 1. If I reached into your friends pocket and took out a five dollar bill and handed it to you would you say, âThank you Robinâ? No, you would say thank you to your friend whose money it was.
My point being that you only thank God for what GOD gives you, not what the devil gives you.
SCRIPTURE: (Col 1:12-14) Giving thanks to the Fatherâ¦. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness.
(Phil 4:11) Whatever state Iâm in to be content.
Content. (the Greek word) strong Number, #842 Autarkies. In the Greek it means sufficient in oneself, adequate,
needing no assistance, therefore content.
As you can see it means totally the opposite of what we have come to see it as meaning in todayâs language. It does not mean I am satisfied, no matter what situation I am in. So you should be self sufficient in yourself needing no assistanceâ¦.
Look up these scriptures at least once a day and read them out loud. Since faith comes by hearing the word, your faith will grow until you receive your healing.
Exodus 15:26 & 23:25,
Deuteronomy 7:15 and 28:1-14,61 and 30:19-20 1King 8:56, Psalm 91:16, and 103:3, and 107:20 &118:17
Proverbs 4:20-23, Isaiah 41:10, & 53:4-5
Jeremiah 1:12 & 30:17, Joel 3:10,
BECOMING A child of God IS EASY ACCORDING TO: (Romans 10:9-10) 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. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made onto salvation (healing, soundness, deliverance, made whole.)
TO RECEIVE JESUS PLEASE PRAY THIS PRAYER FROM YOUR HEART: Father God thank you for sending your Son Jesus to take away my sins so that I can have right-standing with You. I accept Jesus now as my Savior, Lord and Healer. Thank You, for accepting me just the way I am right now. I thank You that you teach me how to be more
like you. I give you my life. I confess with my mouth Lord Jesus. Thank You in Jesusâ name.
Now that you are a child of God, you need to know all the gifts that Jesus has bought for you by His shed blood. Study the Bible, it is your promise book, your life manual, your love letters from God. You need to be fed the Word of God.
Make sure you find a church that teaches the Word of God. Find a church where you can see that Jesus is alive, where signs and miracles happen.
To get the most out of this booklet, pray this prayer and study this lesson again.
Father, thank you for sending your Son to die for me. Thank you that He took all my pain, sickness and diseases. I receive all you have done for me. Show me what I need to know to get my
healing. I will do whatever you show me. In Jesusâ name.
