In this article I would like to take us on a short meditation of the Lord’s Prayer from the perspective of Divine Healing…
As you pray each line, I invite you to pause and reflect…
Our Father
Our Father is a loving father! He has already declared who He is;
‘And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness…’
-Exodus 34:6
What father has the power to stop or alleviate their child’s pain and doesn’t?
Who Art In Heaven
There is no pain, sickness or tears in heaven…
“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
-Revelation 21:4
Holy Be Your Name
To be Holy, is to be perfect, without impurity, wholeness, with nothing lacking
Your Kingdom Come
His Kingdom in heaven is skinless – spotless and without blemish
Your Will Be Done
When a man with leprosy came to Jesus, he asked Him if He was willing to heal him of his skin disease. Jesus replied, “I am willing, be healed!”
Jesus also said, ‘If you have seen me, you have seen the Father’
Jesus is willing to heal
Our Father is also willing to heal
On Earth As It Is In Heaven
When we pray ‘On earth as it is in heaven’, we are praying that the same state that exists in heaven is bought to earth.
As we’ve already discovered, there’s no sickness in heaven!
Give Us Today Our Daily Bread
We pray, ‘Give us today our daily bread!’ well, healing is the children’s bread (See Matthew 15:26)
And Forgive Us Our Sins
‘If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.’
-1 John 1:9
He is faithful and just and will cleanse us from all impurity
As We Forgive Those Who Sin Against Us
‘If you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven’
-Matthew 6:15
We can not be healed and hold onto the fruits of the sinful nature -i.e. bitterness
Bitterness eats away at us from the inside out
Hebrews 12:15 speaks of ‘a root of bitterness’
And Lead Us Not Into Temptation
Do not eat of the devils’ fruit – that leads to sickness and death. (See 1 Corinthians 10:21)
But Deliver Us From Evil
Set us free; take us out from sickness, sin and the devils’ kingdom
Sickness is a work of the devil – that’s why Jesus went around doing good and destroying all the works of the devil (See Acts 10:38)
For Yours Is The Kingdom
Jesus is the King of the Kingdom, one accredited to us by signs, wonders and miracles (see Acts 2:22)
Jesus is the healer
The Power
By his stripes we are and were healed (see Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24)
And The Glory
God’s glory is manifested in the works of God -healing is part of the works of God (see John 9:3)
Now and Forever
‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever’ (Hebrews 13:8)
What he did whilst on earth, he still does now primarily through His Body – The Church
Amen!
We accept these truths concerning healing by faith
-agreeing with what God has said!
Amen!
