Healing

If you have submitted your health or the treatment of a medical condition to a doctor, you should follow the doctor’s instructions, including using the medicine(s) prescribed.

Proverbs 4:20-22: “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.”

The key to living continually in divine health is simply to take your prescription! Here it is:

Proverbs 4:20-23: “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it spring the issues of life.”

Go to your Bible and find the scriptures that deal with healing and long life. Use God’s Word like a daily dose of medicine and see your health thrive.

We maintain our healing the same way we received our healing…by the power of God’s Word and by our taking hold of the finished work of Jesus.

Once we have been healed of an ailment or disease, we should continue to declare God’s Word over the situation, giving thanks for the manifestation of healing in our body. When asked about it, we should give the credit where it’s due—to the Word and to the Lord Jesus.

Social Anxiety affects more than 40 million Americans. In fact, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America states that it is the No. 1 mental illness affecting American adults. And what is its root? Fear. It is a debilitating illness, but you can overcome it.

If you have received a bad report from the doctor, what you do from this point on will turn your life in one direction or the other. You have a choice to make—hook your wagon to the facts the doctor gave you or to the truth Jesus died to give you.

God’s covenant with you promises you healing from every sickness and disease, which means you have the right to live in divine health all the days of your life (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matthew 8:17). 

On the other hand, you have what the devil is throwing at you, which is:

First of all, let me make a very important correction. God didn’t deliver me from a weight problem. He delivered me from a food problem.

It is vital for you to understand that. Because as long as I was simply trying to lose weight, I experienced repeated failure just as you have. I lost literally hundreds of pounds, only to gain them right back again.

I would go to God and complain about it and ask for help time after time. But I still wasn’t able to experience victory in that area as I had in other areas of my life.

Brother Copeland would be the first to tell you the doctor is your best friend if you are sick and your healing has not yet fully shown up. It takes time for your faith to develop. For that reason, it is perfectly all right to pursue medical attention as well. In fact, to refuse to consult a doctor or perhaps stop taking medication (prescription or over-the-counter) before faith is fully developed for healing is potentially dangerous. That would be considered “presumptuous” faith.

First and foremost, remember that God is a good God, and He has made you an overcomer and more than a conqueror. That applies to anything and everything in your life! He has also given you the mind of Christ. 

The world may have labeled you and you may notice certain things challenge you more than others, but you are called to live in victory every day in every way. The good news is that God never intended for you to do that on your own. He is right here waiting to help you!

Here are some things you can do:

It is God’s will to heal you. That’s the first and most important thing for you to understand. If your faith is strong and you can believe the Word without wavering (regardless of what circumstances or symptoms come against you), then you’ll be able to receive that healing by faith alone. But that kind of faith takes more than just hearing a few sermons about healing. It takes a deep personal revelation of God’s healing power. And, for the Christian who hasn’t yet developed that kind of faith, the doctor is his best friend.

Yes! You can always count on God to heal you! He has given you His Word on it and He always keeps His Word.

James 5:15 leaves no room for doubt. It says, “...the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.”

Why then do so many good Christians remain sick? Because, they somehow fail to receive God’s provision of healing.

If you’re looking to build your faith for healing, you’ve come to the right place! Jesus is the Healer. Healing is for today, and healing is for YOU. But just knowing that isn’t enough. Faith is an interactive process. Jesus is offering healing, but you’ve got to build your faith to receive.

Here are some of the healing resources recommended by KCM.

If you’ve struggled to lose weight and keep it off, you know it isn’t just as simple as trying the latest diet. Being fit and healthy is God’s will for you. So, don’t give up! Here are some tips from Dr. Don Colbert to help you lose weight God’s way. 

Almost! Proverbs 4:22 says the Word of God is “life to those who find [it] and health to all their body.” But laughter is also mentioned in the Word! Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV) says, “A merry heart does good, like medicine.”

Dr. Avery Jackson, renowned neurosurgeon, shared the following benefits of laughter:

Brother Copeland is on a mission to live a full life of 120 years! In Psalm 91, God promises His children long life, which He told us in Genesis 6:3 is 120 years. 
He is using his faith to get there. He has impressed many with his 50+ pushups on stage at Victory Campaigns, running up and down stairs at age 85, and holding a three-minute plank! Plus, his mind is as sharp as a tack!

So, what is his secret?

None of us knows the number of times we have uttered the words, “Father, forgive me.” We do know, though, that when we ask for His mercy, we receive it when we say, “Lord, forgive me for that. I repent of it.” We receive His forgiveness by faith because we believe His Word that says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, KJV).

Somewhere along the way, an unspoken rule was formed that says you must always have it together. Be perfect. Never feel weary in your faith. However, feeling out of energy or tired after a long fight of faith is nothing new. Maybe you’re there now. You don’t doubt where the Source of your life and victory is, yet you find yourself empty.

But one thing you must NEVER do is stay there.

This ministry loves our military and veterans! We have a heart to see them prosper in every area of their lives, and so does God! We also understand the struggles that come with PTSD. Gloria Copeland’s father, a WWII veteran, struggled with PTSD and alcohol as a result.

The world believes people who have faced trauma and struggle with PTSD are doomed to do so for life. But Jesus doesn’t agree. He came to give every believer life more abundantly. He came to set people free from every form of torment and bondage. He is the Healer. He is the Deliverer!

No matter what you’re struggling with right now, know this—God wants you totally and completely free from every bondage. It’s why He sent Jesus!

No matter how long you’ve struggled with addiction to alcohol or how strong you feel the addiction might be, nothing is more powerful than the bondage-breaking, yoke-destroying power of the Name of Jesus. You might feel alone right now, but there are countless testimonies of people who have been just where you are who are perfectly free of all addiction today. Freedom belongs to you!

When it comes to certain lifestyle choices, as Christians, it is important to discern between absolute truth and what is a wise choice. The Apostle Paul said everything is permissible but not all things are beneficial (1 Corinthians 10:23). In other words, if something is not expressly identified in the Word of God as sin, it does not necessarily make it the wisest choice.
