Refuse To Be Sick!

s a new creation in Christ Jesus, your human life has been supplanted with Gods divine life. The blood that flows through your veins is no longer what gives life to your physical body, for the life of the new creation is not in the blood. Though the Bible declares that the life of the flesh is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), thats for the man who isnt born again. For the new creation man, the Spirit of God gives life to his physical body: But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11). The word quicken as used above is from the Greek word zoopoieo which means to give life or make alive; it also means to vitalize. Thus as one in whom the Spirit of God dwells, sickness, disease and infirmity shouldnt find place in your physical body because the Life-giver lives in you. Understand that sickness is insipient death. Therefore its something you must reject with absolute vehemence, for in the Kingdom of God where you belong, sickness is not a part of our heritage The Bible says, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. And all things are of God (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). That means everything associated with the life of sin has passed away, including sickness, disease and infirmity. The old weakness is gone; the so-called genetically inherited diseases are gone; youre a brand new species

of being, one without a past! Your physical body has become Gods habitation; sickness has no right to co-exist with the Holy Spirit in your body, therefore refuse to be s i c k ! Somebody says, But how about the terrible pain Im feeling in my body right now? Well, that pain is only a mirage! Its called lying vanity, and the Bible says They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy (Jonah 2:8). Refuse to observe the pain! Rather, contemplate divine health. Youre not the sick trying to be healed; youre the healed of God. Divine health is your birthright. If sickness tries to fasten itself on your physical body, you say I refuse to accommodate this sickness in the Name of Jesus! If its a growth, put your hand on it and say I command this growth to die in the Name of Jesus! Remember, the life of God is in you, therefore refuse to be sick!

Confession
My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, prepared for His glory. Therefore, sickness and disease have no tenancy in my body. I refuse to accommodate anything that hurts or binds in my physical body. The life of God is in every fibre of my being; my entire system is inundated with eternal life therefore sickness, disease and infirmity are repelled from me in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
