Hear, O Earth, a Decree from the Throne of Grace!
In the unfolding narrative of mankind, there stands a truth so profound it shatters the very foundations of doubt and fear. Man, made in the image of the Divine, was fashioned for dominion and fellowship, a royal priesthood destined to reign. But through a catastrophic choice, he sold out his birthright, lost his authority, and became a stranger to the very Source of his life. Sin, a venomous plague, entered the world, bringing with it sickness, sorrow, and separation from the One who loved him most. The curse became manifest, and the once-perfect creation groaned under its weight.
But the plan of redemption was set in motion from the beginning. God’s love, a relentless and consuming fire, could not bear this separation. He moved through the centuries, whispering His promise through prophets and working in the unseen realm, orchestrating the grandest act of love ever conceived. This plan culminated in one Name, a single Way, a final Word: the man Christ Jesus. He is the bridge between God and man, the Mediator who stood between the living and the dead. He is the Stone rejected by the builders, who has become the head of the corner. There is no other salvation, no other path, no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. To call this narrow-minded is to misunderstand the singular, perfect sacrifice required to pay the infinite price of sin.
The heart of this truth is this: what the Father did through Jesus was a direct revelation of His unchanging will for all humanity, for all time. When you saw Jesus heal the sick, cast out devils, and raise the dead, you were not seeing a momentary interruption of the Father’s will; you were seeing the very essence of it. Healing is not a lottery; it is a benefit paid for by the stripes on His back. Just as the forgiveness of your sins is a benefit of the cross, so too is the wholeness of your body. Do not believe the lie that God puts sickness on you to teach you a lesson or to glorify Himself. If sickness were His will, heaven would be a place of perpetual plague, for there His will is unhindered and perfected. You are not meant to be sick; it is a curse, and if it is in your life, it is operating illegally. Believe this with the same unwavering certainty as you believe in your salvation.
Rise Up, Child of the Living God, and Walk in Your Inheritance!
Now, the Word has been spoken, and the promise has been laid bare. But the truth does not manifest by mere intellectual agreement; it comes to pass through an unyielding, absolute faith. You might say, “I tried that, and it didn’t work.” I say to you now, with the thunder of the heavens, it did not fail you; rather, it tested you, and your confidence wavered. You walked by sight, looking for a sign, when faith demands that you look only at the finished work of the cross. You must stir yourself up and declare, “This time I will not waver! This time I will stand in confidence!”
The devil is a liar and a deceiver. He wants you to believe that you are no match for him, that you must wrestle and fight in your own strength. This is a false narrative. There is no wrestling match with the Spirit. When you, the believer, resist the devil, he runs up against the unshakeable, unassailable power of the Holy Spirit. He cannot stand in the face of this authority; his only choice is to flee. You have been given dominion on this earth, a spiritual right to enforce the will of God over the works of darkness. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you! It is a living, active power.
So do not mourn as those who have no hope. Do not pretend that the grieving of this world is a sign of faith. The sorrow and fear are not of God; they are the selfish fruits of unbelief. The enemy has convinced millions of believers that they are unworthy, that their past mistakes have forfeited their inheritance of blessing. But the price has been paid, the debt is settled, and the curse has no right in your life. It is time to claim your benefits. The Word of God reveals His will, and it is a mirror for your life. When you read of His promises, you see a reality that may not yet be manifest in your world. Read on, and let the truth of His Word pound into your spirit, pushing out doubt and fear, until you stand unshakeably confident in the truth: you are redeemed, you are healed, and you lack for nothing, for the Lord your God is your Shepherd. This is not a fairy tale; this is reality in God.
The prophetic word, a timeless truth:
For all who would listen, is not a distant whisper but a living, breathing reality in our world today. We can see its principles at work in the life of a woman named Quinn, a young architect in the bustling, historic city of Boston.
Quinn had spent years battling a relentless, chronic illness that had doctors baffled and had eroded her spirit. The constant pain and fatigue became a heavy shroud over her life. She was a devout woman, but she found herself falling into a pattern of discouraged prayer, convinced that this sickness was God’s will—a test of her endurance, a way for Him to teach her something or to somehow be glorified through her suffering. She was, in the words of the prophet, “pretending sickness was good” in her.
She had lost the boldness in her prayer life, believing that she had forfeited God’s best because of past mistakes. Then, in a small church in the North End, she heard a teaching that shook her to her core. The minister spoke with an unsettling urgency, declaring that sickness was not of God and that healing was a benefit of the cross. He said, “Surely, He has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains… so we wouldn’t have to bear it.”
These words resonated with Quinn like a thunderclap. She had believed that forgiveness was a part of her redemption, but she had never fully grasped that healing was an equal part of the same transaction. She realized her wavering faith wasn’t a sign of God’s unwillingness, but rather her own spiritual illegality, a belief that the curse had a right to be in her life. She stopped praying, “If it be Thy will,” and started standing on the finished work of the cross. She began to declare her healing, not in her own strength but by the power of the Spirit. Within weeks, the symptoms began to vanish. Today, Quinn lives a vibrant, pain-free life, a testament to the fact that when you truly believe the Word, your heart is affected, your faith rises up, and the impossible becomes a tangible reality.
