Divine healing is actually divine life. It is the lordship of Christ over the body—or the life of Christ in the framework of the human body. It is the union of the parts of our bodies with His very body , exhibiting His life flowing throughout our bodies.

It is as real as His risen and glorified body . And it is as reasonable as the fact that He was raised from the dead, is a living person with an actual body , and sits today as an understanding soul at God’ s right hand.

That same Chris t, with all His attributes and mighty power , belongs to us. We are members of His body , His flesh , and His bones, and if we will only believe this and receive it, we may actually draw our life from the very life of the Son of God.

Dear God, help me to know and to live this verse: “The body , however , is . . . for the Lord, and the Lord for the body” (1 Corinthians 6:13). A. B. SIMPSON

“The LORD your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves ” (Zephaniah 3:17). This was the verse that initially brought the truth of divine healing to my mind and my worn-out body more than twenty years ago. It is now a door more wide open than ever and is the gate through which the living Christ enters moment by moment into my redeemed body .

He enter s to fill, energize, and vitalize me with the presence and power of His own persona lity, transformin g my entire being into “a new heaven and a new earth” (Revelation 21:1).

Another verse reads, “The Lord your God” (Luke 10:27). If the Lord is my God, then all that is in almighty God is mine. It all resides within me to the exten t that I am willing and able to appropriate Him and all that belongs to Him. “God, whose name is the LORD Almighty” (Jeremiah 32:18), is indeed the all mighty God and is my inside God. Just as the sun is the center of our solar system, He is centered within me, living as the Father , Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the great generator of the power plant at the center of my threefold being, working in the midst of my physical being, including my brain and other parts of my nervous system.

For twen ty-one years this truth not only has been a living reality to me but has grown deeper and richer . Now , at the age of seventy , I am in every way a much younger and strong er person than I was at thirty . Today I live using God’ s strength, accompl ishing fully twice as much mentally and physically as I ever did in the past, yet with only half the effort. My physical, mental, and spiritual life is like an artesian well—alw ays full and overflowing. Speaking, teaching, and traveling by day or by night through sudden and violent changes in weather or climate is of no more effort to me than it is for the wheels of an engine to turn when the pressure of the steam is at full force or than it is for a pipe to let water run through it.

My body , soul, and spirit thus r edeemed, Sanctified and healed I give, O Lor d, to Thee, A consecrated offering Y ours evermor e to be. That all my powers with all their might In Your sole glory may unite—Hallelujah! HENR Y WILSON

If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.—Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea, rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

Fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins,—They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: for the redemption of their soul is precious.

I have found a ransom.—God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ.

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

I am the Lord that healeth thee.

O Lord , thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord : though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him: and with his stripes we are healed.

He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted.

Thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious.—He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.—Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.—Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.—Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.—Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.—As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.—He giveth more grace.

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever.
