GOD'S MASTER KEY TO DIVINE HEALTH

It is very important for you to live in the consciousness of the truth that, among other things, Jesus has taken away your sicknesses. If you know how expensive it is to keep a healthy body in the world today, you will give praise to God for the health you enjoy now because you are in His service. He said if you serve Him, He will remove sickness from you (Exodus 23:25).

One of the areas where the devil will really publicize himself in this end-time is in the area of sickness. On the other hand, however, God is going to strongly establish His covenant of divine health with His people.

Through divine health, God is going to make the difference clear between His people and the rest of the world. God has contracted a covenant of good health with His people from the beginning. He has spoken to our fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Sickness was strange to them. They did not have any reason to be sick. The covenant forbade them to be sick.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Psalm 89:34

They were under a great covenant. We have been brought under this same covenant also by the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree: that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:13-14

Christ came to make you a partaker of this great covenant of divine health. The covenant belongs to you also. There are, however, some things you need to do. If you leave them undone, your health is not guaranteed. You need to do them and observe them closely to be in health.

God has paid for every inconvenience within and outside you. He has no plan for any part of you to harbour any form of pain. But it takes doing what God has said, to stay in that high premise of divine health.

Take a look at Isaiah 33, and you will find a few things there:

The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: He hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
Verses 5-6

Look at verse 6 again. It says, "And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times..." Wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge. Jesus said:

...Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32

The point being made here is that the stability of your times comes by the accurate application of the knowledge of the truth which you possess. The amount of wisdom you put in determines how stable your times will be.

God is exalted on high, no doubt. He has filled Zion with judgment and with righteousness: it is now Zion’s responsibility to seek wisdom and knowledge for stability. God spoke a lot of things about knowledge in the scriptures. Knowledge is absolutely indispensable if you are to walk with God.

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.
2 Peter 1:2-3

He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, but they are only available through the knowledge of Him. The things He has made available are only workable if they are known and applied. True, He has given you all things, but you may not get one per cent of it in this world. You need to know that these things have been made available to you before you can get them.

God has not called you to suffering and sickness. He has called you to glory and virtue. If sickness is glorious and virtuous, then it is possible that God has called you into it. But there is no glory in sickness. There is no virtue in disease! God has given you all that makes for life and godliness.

There are quite a number of people today who are under the devil, in secret cults. They are afraid of life. They want security. Only very few of them are there for money. Majority of them are wealthy. They are not looking for money. What they want is guaranteed long life and health. But the Bible says that in this process, they are under a lifetime of bondage.

This long life is, however, freely available in Christ. You do not need to drink human blood to be secure. It is freely given in Christ. If you want your life to be preserved, join the Jesus people. The company of light.

All things that make for life and godliness have been made available to you, but they will not be released without knowledge. God has not called you to shame. He has not called you to evil. He has called you unto glory and virtue.

Sickness is not glorious. Health is glorious. It is what you can talk proudly about. You can say it to everybody. You can say, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." That will only come when you become conscious of these things and God’s divine health will be at work within you.

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

Sickness is most definitely one of the corrupting weapons in the world today. If sickness strikes a man, you will suddenly notice that the man begins to deteriorate in strength and form. In no time, you notice that he now has sunken cheeks and a gloomy face. He becomes miserable. That is the corrupting influence of sickness. But you have become a partaker of the divine nature and so have escaped this corruption.

This divine nature is void of sickness. Jesus operated in it and sickness could not attack Him. The essence of the scriptures is to make you become a partaker of this divine nature and by the knowledge of it, you enter into divine health. It is not automatic.

You do not enjoy it until you have come into a full knowledge of it and it is rightly applied. It does not jump on people. It answers to a full appraisal and application of the scriptures concerning it. Divine Health is a covenant issue, and every covenant has two sides to it. God can never deny Himself. When you fulfil your own part, God has no choice but to fulfil His own.

If you are going to truly partake of the divine nature, it has to be through the knowledge of Him who has called you to glory and virtue. And this knowledge is the knowledge of the exceeding great and precious promises. This very knowledge, clearly understood and accurately applied will cause you to escape the corruption of sickness.

This truth is important to your life, because you are either in the mainstream of God’s move or you are out of it. If you do not take your own place in divine health, by the time people are enjoying and walking in it, you will be asking and looking for reasons why yours is not coming forth.

There is a way to divine health and this is the secret. God does not intend to keep anything from us. The Bible says, unto us that believe it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom (Matthew 13:11). It is good for you to know that the mystery of divine health is yours by right of covenant relationship.

It is your knowledge of the word that will produce your being like Jesus in any area of life where you want to be like Him. When you know the word in any area, it becomes easy for you to operate adequately to the fulfillment of the scriptures on that subject. It is the same with divine health.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Psalm 103:2-5

Jesus came for the whole man spirit, soul and body. He wants every part of you to reflect His glory. His mission does not stop with sin. He came that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.

The church has been held in this ugly situation for too long. People have always believed that God is only interested in saving sinners. That is why sickness invaded the church and every church has prayer for the sick on its prayer list. But now that the word of health is coming to light in the body, things are changing.

Sickness now fears the body of Christ and it will yet fear us the more. It is the same in the area of prosperity. I have seen church buildings built over a period of twenty years yet to be completed. They are still carrying blocks and planks all over the place. But the time is at hand when these things will change totally, and it has started.

When you come to the understanding that there are more benefits in Christ than escaping into heaven, you will begin to enjoy them. It says not to forget His benefits (that is plural). The benefits are many.

One of the benefits is that He renews your youth as the eagle’s. When you are fifty years, you are still operating as a youngster. At sixty, you are still operating as if you were twenty-five. At eighty, your physique is still sound and good to look at. When you are ninety-nine, you are still running like Abraham. These are all benefits of Christ’s coming.
