An Expression of God“Healing”By: Joseph H. MurrayThe healing that comes from God is not our own expression or confession, but it is a manifestation of His love and care for us. And for us to attest to its occurrence before it really happens is a false confession, such as “by His stripes we are healed.” You do not have a confession of such until God expresses it through you by a touch of His Spirit and power. But when you feel it surge through your mortal being from head to toe, in with it comes those precious words of Isaiah, “by His stripes we are healed,” and it is felt, and it is real whether we say so or not. It is God saying the same words as was written aforetime by the prophets in the Spirit into our hearts and not to be put on display on a showboat for the praise of men. If our healing is real, it will show itself in evidence more than we can ever tell with our tongues. There is nothing wrong, however, in saying we are healed if God has really done it. But it is radically wrong for us to say we are healed when God has not said we are healed. It’s the same as in the beginning when God said, “Let there be light: and there was light.” So, God says you are healed when you are healed because for God to say a thing means that it is so (Amen!) because He is God, and no man nor condition can stay His hand. |
