# 3 Healing Scriptures ~

I Thessalonians 5:23

Spirit, Soul & Body - Part II

Home from the Hospital!

Now, I'm going to review what the starting point of your spiritual walk was when you were "Born Again". This started a chain of events in your world immediately. Your Spirit is interesting because it is complete the day you were born, the scripture calls it you were sealed, vacuum packed. (Eph 1:13) by the Holy Spirit. Your Spirit can't be messed with, Satan can't mess with it, you can't mess with it and it's the only way we can communicate with God on the mysteries of the Spirit.

When you were born again, the Spirit was activated, you now have a way of communicating with God. This is what happens at Salvation, you unleash the power of God, instantly. This why you see so many miracles in people who are first Born Again. They unleash the power of God immediately and Faith is activated for the 1st time.

What happens in the next 30 seconds your mind begins to work against you. "Nothing happened, it was just some trick the preacher played on me, and it doesn't really work." I'm here to tell you when I got Born Again, I got Born Again and the power of God came on me so strong in front of the Methodist Church in Glenwood, Iowa, in the first 30 seconds. Now the next two weeks, up to 5 years later my mind kept telling me it wasn't working, but it was working it was my mind telling me it wasn't working, my spirit man knew better.

Once my Spirit was turned loose, I was alive again, I went from being a grocery store clerk to a leader. The minute I learned how to meditate on scripture, my spirit was in control. Renewing your mind is the key to a Spirit filled life.

I have testimony after testimony where Kay and I made decisions in the first 30 seconds, because it was the spirit, not the world. The World will talk to you, your mind will and intellect will talk you right out of what God has for you. You have to make a decision what is from God and what is from the enemy, it could be the world, it could be the devil, and it could be your own mind.

What does this have to do with healing? Everything!! I want to take a very complicated subject and simplify it for you. When you get Born Again, your spirit is activated and it's perfect, complete, entire lacking nothing and it can't be touched. Your Soul man rebels because it has been in control your whole life on this earth. Your Spirit has a way of taking control and you renew your mind to the Word of God and things begin to make sense as your Spirit man is given more control over your decisions. The key to healing is renewing your mind to what your spirit already knows by studying the hand book. (The Bible). 
Then the crisis, many people call them trials, afflictions, tests from God, temptations. I could go on but you get the point. Your circumstances in your life, is a way Life gets in the way. I'll use healing as an example. Your body responds to your words. Your body is broken by a sickness, a disease or an accident but the Word of God says, "You are already healed by the Stripes of Jesus." What happen in the next 30 seconds will determine if you are listening to the spirit or your soul man.

Scene #1. Your body is not feeling good and you look in the mirror and it says, "You are sick today you need to stay home." You can agree with your body because your mind is telling you, your sick today and then you verbalize it with your actions and you back to bed. Your cells start to talk to each other, one cell tells another "The boss says you are sick today", and before you know it your down for two weeks. In the case any sickness or disease this is how it starts. It starts with how we feel.

Scene #2. Your body is not feeling good and you look in the mirror and it says, "Your sick today'. It stops right there you look in the mirror and your renewed mind says, "The Word of God says I'm healed and healed men go to work, healed men are lean mean fighting machines, I'm the head and not the tail and no weapon formed against me is going to prosper." Your body responds by one cell tell another cell, "The boss says were well today, were well, were well, we had better get with the program because the boss says were well. Your Spirit man is the Boss, it is a matter of listening to your renewed mind to what the Spirit says or the unrenewed mind. Which one is running the show?

Here the simple explanation. Who are you listening to? and who are you talking to? It makes a difference. This is not easy, especially if you are in a war with sickness. You sometimes have to fight before you're ready but it is easier to prepare for war in times of peace.
