CHANNELS OF THE HEALING ANOINTING - PART 4
Scripture: 2 Kings 5: 9-10
Topic: The Spoken Word
The healing anointing is the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a special aspect of the Holy Spirit's work. There is a physical dimension of the Holy Spirit. There is a tangible dimension. There is a dimension in which the Holy Spirit moves out of the invisible, the intangible , to the visible, the tangible and the touchable. It is in this dimension that you begin to see healings taking place. That is when the invisible becomes visible and physical changes happen. In this series of our quiet time we will explore the channels through which the healing anointing flows into our lives.
4. The anointing is within the SPOKEN WORD.
One of the ways in which the healing anointing works is by the spoken word. It is called the "rhema". Many healings don't take place by the laying on of hands. Jesus hardly laid hands on people. He mostly ministered by speaking words to them. He would say, "Go thy way, thy son liveth" or He would say, "Daughter, thy faith has made thee whole." On another occasion, he said, "Young man, I say unto thee, arise."
Most people want hands to be laid on them but many miracles take place through the spoken word. Even Elisha operated in that anointing. In the healing of Naaman the leper, Elisha sent a message to Naaman: "Go and wash and thou shalt be made whole." The healing was in the message that had come.
"So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean."
2 Kings 5:9-10
There was a nobleman's son who was not well. The man came to Jesus for the healing of his son. Jesus said to him, "Go thy way, thy son liveth." No prayer. No laying on of hands. No anointing oil. No garment. Just a word! Speaking a word is a valid way of ministering healing.
On his way home, this nobleman met his people who told him that his son was all right. He inquired of them what time the son had improved and he found out that it was at the same time that Jesus had spoken to him. Only six words had been spoken.
"So Jesus came again into Cana…there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death…Jesus saith unto him, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth…. And as he was now going down the servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth.."
John 4:46, 47, 50-52
Try not to think so much about hands being laid on you. God will touch you and change your life through the spoken word of his anointed servant.
