“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and comes down from the Father of lights...”
James 1:17
As a born-again child of God, you are beneficiary to an inheritance through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Your inheritance includes many gifts; health, healing, restoration, victory, preservation, prosperity, forgiveness, joy, peace. These gifts have been ordained for you and do not have to be earned or achieved. Many good, solid believers consider healing a promise rather than their God-given birthright. The whole essence of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ was not only to save us, and bring us into relationship with our heavenly Father, but to obtain for us an inheritance given by grace and received through faith.
There is a certain boldness that we as believers must have in order to access and possess our inheritance. We, as heirs of God and joint heirs of Jesus Christ, have a spiritual heritage that is rightfully ours. That healing is a part of the inheritance we have received through Christ can be scripturally supported. Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:17 and 1 Peter 2:24 all testify to this. You, as a daughter of the Most High God, have every right to live free of sickness and disease.
So why are so many of us hesitant to partake of what rightfully belongs to us? Why are we as born-again believers reluctant to claim what belongs to us. In the natural, if you had an inheritance, you'd have to claim it in order to receive it. It is the same in the spiritual. You have to claim your legal right to health and wholeness through faith. You have to believe it's yours, that it belongs to you and go after it. Jesus paid the price for your healing two thousand years ago by the stripes that were laid on His back.
Many of us are held captive by the lies of the enemy; we are told by good intended preachers and acquaintances that healing is not for us today, that it passed away with the apostles, that it's not always God's will to heal, that God is trying to teach us something, that it's our thorn in the flesh, or simply that God heals willy-nilly as He sees fit. Lies, lies, and more lies. None of these supposed doctrines can be validated through scripture. We remain captives in bondage because of our lack of knowledge of the truth. (Hosea 4:6) Healing belongs to you, a gift given to be received by grace through faith. Determine to learn the truth and you will find that the truth will set you free!
DAILY DECLARATION
I am empowered by the truth that healing belongs to me. It is my God-given inheritance. I refuse to allow the lies of the enemy to deceive me any longer. Today, as a beneficiary I claim my inheritance by faith. With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will stand on the truth of God's Word until I possess what belongs to me.
