TWO KEY STEPS TO MAINTAINING YOUR HEALING Day 7 devotion Jesus said, But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you (Matthew 12:28). Another Kingdom Scripture worth noting is Matthew 6:10. The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray and Jesus replied, Your Kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. The Kingdom of God is as it is in Heaven. Gods Kingdom comes when Heaven and earth synchronize--when Heaven touches earth. His Kingdom comes when Heaven shows up in your world, and your life lines up with Gods world. That means no sorrow, no pain, no sickness, or disease in your life. Those things dont exist in Heaven. The enemy will do anything to oppose this wonderful divine plan. So when you pray, welcome the Kingdom. Pray for the Kingdom to come. Invite the atmosphere of Heaven into your life, into your church, and into your city. God does miracles and healings in the church today because they are a sign and a manifestation of His Kingdom. When people see miracles manifested on the earth, they know that the Kingdom of God has come upon them. TWO KEY STEPS TO MAINTAINING YOUR HEALING We are saints and through the power of praise, worship, and thanksgiving, we can execute the written judgment on the enemy and his cohorts that oppose Christs rule (Psalms 149:5-9) or His healing work in our lives. 1. PRAISE, PRAYER, AND WORSHIP When you receive a healing, give praise and thanks for what He has done--this will help you maintain your healing. Examine the Bible--all the instances of healing and deliverance, as well as the promises of Scripture, and give thanks and praise that you already have these blessings. Sing spontaneous songs of thanks, and you will begin to execute written judgment on the enemy--those demonic powers of sickness and disease. Praise, prayer, and worship are how you execute the triumph of Jesus over powers of darkness. Jesus has defeated sin, sickness, disease, death, and poverty and made us free. He ...has redeemed us from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13, 14). Its already done! Its a written judgment in Gods Word. Execute judgment through praise and thanksgiving. There is so much power in them, that some people dont even need prayer for healing. This week, jump out of bed each morning, and sing psalms and hymns to the Lord your God. Give thanks, and praise Him that you are already healed. Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord Jesus! We were healed; we are healed. You carried away every sickness and disease. You shed Your blood for the remission of sin. O thank You, Lord, that I am washed in Your blood--Your holy blood. 2. MEDITATE ON AND LIVE BY GODS WORD Meditation on Gods Word brings revelation, and revelation brings healing manifestation. For they are life to those who find them (Proverbs 4:22). Keeping the Word in the midst of our heart will bring health to our flesh. Give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings...keep them in the midst of your heart (verses 20, 21). Keep the Word in the midst of your heart even after the healing comes. I know people who become desperate for a breakthrough and truly press in. They purpose in their hearts and go hard after God. When breakthrough comes--a miracle, a healing, or a gift, its the answer theyve prayed and pressed in for, and they no longer spend time with God. Then He has to ask, Where have you been all week? People wonder why theyre seldom able to maintain the victory that God gives them, let alone bring it to the next level. Its because they stopped doing what they did in the first place to get where they were. Even after they received their much wanted breakthrough, they should have just kept on going. They undo everything that they did to receive breakthrough by slacking off after the healing comes. We have to meditate on and live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, standing on the provision of God in His Word when attacks come from the enemy. The Word of God is more powerful than sickness and the presence of Gods Word heals us. Todd Bentley
