That's MINE

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. ~ Acts 10:38 KJV

The sick are oppressed of the devil, not God. It is good when people get healed. It is not good when people are sick. The teaching that God chooses not to answer prayers for healing is an effort to dodge guilt and liability for failure to receive. The first step towards freedom is to accept the truth that it is our receiving that is the problem not God's giving. We have a giving God, who gives freely to all that ask. Part of the problem may be that you don't know the nature of God. He is a giver, He is a lover, He is kind, He is always good.

If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. ~ James 1:5 Amplified KJV

As long as you take comfort in the thought, "It's all up to God. Whatever will be will be," you will stay a victim and never become victorious. Read the Bible for yourself. Let the Spirit be your guide. Understand who God really is, and who He says you are. He calls you healed. He declares that you are well. So take it today! It's yours!
