They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness…I have said, ye are God’s; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes (Psalms 82:5-7).
Our opening scripture describes the pathetic fate of thise who are ignorant of God’s Word. They die like mere men, and fall like one of the princes, because of their lack of knowledge and understanding of spiritual realities. However, such folks can experience immediate transformation when they apply the principle for change, which the Lord Jesus taught in Matthew 13:15. It reads, “for this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”
What happens when you hear, know and understand the Word is that the healing power of God works automatically in your life; you’ll function as gods! In Acts 19:11-12, we read that handkerchiefs and aprons were taken from the body of Paul. When those materials were placed on the sick and demon possessed, miracles happened; the demons left; sicknesses, no matter what kind, were healed.
Paul experienced such tremendous manifestations of the miraculous because he had come ti know and understand something that others in his day didn’t. it was Paul who wrote what we read in 2 Corinthians 3:18, in our previous study, showing us that the glory of God that was on Moses’ face has come reside in our spirits. He was the same Apostle who wrote that the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwells in you, and has quickened-vitalized-your mortal body.
These would tell you of the understanding of the man, Paul and his comprehension (Greek:sunesis) of the Gospel of Christ. This ought to be your knowledge and understanding of the mysteries of Christ as well. You have to come to the understanding that because you’re born again, no sickness, disease or infirmity of any kind can remain in your body; no! Not when you know and understand that the same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead, lives in you in His fullness.
Prayer
Dear Father, the entrance of your Word gives light to my spirit, producing healing and health in my physical body. As I meditate on your Word, supernatural understanding floods my mind, causing me to live victoriously today and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
