One major reason I believe people dont receive healing is because of feelings of unworthiness. Thoughts of I dont deserve healing because
. And then the many reasons why we think we shouldnt be healed, what weve done, what weve thought about, our actions, where we are with God in our understanding, etc.
Father has made us worthy Our being worthy isnt based on our performance, but on His goodness toward us. Its His Love and His goodness that leads us to repentance and desiring to please Him in all things. Its not our performance that decides if we deserve to be healed.
God isnt looking at our performance and then thinking hummm, lets see if this person deserves My Hand to heal them. Well, I dont know, they did this and this, and I wasnt pleased with them when they did this
No. When Father looks at you, He sees the child that He loves; He sees the child that Jesus died for; He sees the blood shed for you. When Father sees the Blood shed for you, then all He sees is the righteousness of Jesus. He doesnt see us as a sinner anymore. He doesnt see us as a worm in the dust that doesnt deserve anything good from His Hand. All He sees is what Jesus did for us, not what our performance is.
Father loves you so much. He loved you enough to send Jesus to take your place in your sicknesses and diseases. Jesus became sickness for you on the cross so you could be free from all sickness. Ive heard it said that each of those 39 lashes Jesus took, stood for the 39 categories of sickness and disease. Whatever sickness a person has falls under one of those 39 categories.
Next time you have the thought of God wont heal me because Im not good enough, or I didnt do what I should have, or I did this and I shouldnt have, or I dont really deserve to be made well, I deserve this sickness because of this reason, I deserve this sickness because Ive been bad . Turn around and see it from your Fathers viewpoint. He isnt looking at your performance or lack of performance. All He looks at is what Jesus did in your place. Jesus took your place in sickness and disease. Your receiving from your Father isnt based on your performance. You could never be good enough in your eyes. There will always be some imperfection you will see. Father isnt looking at your imperfections. He sees you as any good parent would see His little child, and He would do anything for you. Healing is the childrens bread. Just relax in your Fathers Love and let Him make you whole.
