I have been fighting a bad case of flu for the past six days. I’ve not had the physical or mental stamina to meet with the Lord for hours each day and wait upon Him to see if He chooses to speak. So when He woke me up last night, I was excited to feel His presence. I knew He would give me the energy to record His word. I have to admit, with as bad as I’ve felt, His first sentence was a surprise. As always, I receive by faith and must put earthly rationality aside. Although this was a word to me, the Lord is clearly speaking to all of His people. So I share it with you.

1:54 am: “Your sickness is not real. It is certainly real to you, yes, a fight of your body. It is not the reality in the spirit realm, for the spirit transcends. One day – no more sickness. For now – here is how to cope.

“Stand against it, as you have. Command the sickness to go. Command your body, your immune system, your cells, to act as they were designed. Keep commanding. Keep standing against. Your healing has already been paid for. Therefore, you do not need to ask Me for it. Stand in your authority as My co-heir and command it to BE.

“Watch the declarations of your mouth. ‘I have been hit hard with the flu.’ Yes, but that is only half the equation. ‘I have been hit hard by the flu – and I am standing against it and commanding my healing through the all powerful blood of Jesus.’

“Keep praising Me throughout. Even in all your tiredness and brain fog, push through to praise Me. How often have I told you that Praise is your greatest weapon?

“When one of Mine is sick, angels attend more than you know. Believe this. Look for this. Ask Me for spiritual eyes to see.

“I offer My Joy, Delight, and Wonder even in sickness. Again, ask Me for these. Ask Me, if you lack it, for the Faith to embrace these. The Faith I give transcends your tiredness.

“Spoken by the Lord your God, who conquered all sin, sickness, and death. Amen.”

Notes:

James 5:14-15: Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up…

Psalm 103:2-3: Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits;  Who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.

Isaiah 53:5: But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

Mark 5:34: He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

Psalm 41:1,3: How blessed is he who considers the helpless; The Lord will deliver him in a day of trouble…The Lord will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health.

Exodus 15:26: If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.

Exodus 23:25: “Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you…”

Matthew 8:14-17: When Jesus came into Peter’s home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever. He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she got up and waited on Him. When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “He Himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases.”

Mark 6:56: And wherever he went—into villages, towns, or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
