People are just intrigued about hearing stories of miracles on healing. I’ve had a few and certainly have talked about them over and over for those who are regular reviewers. Bless God! Today, I’d like to help you to take a cross sectional view of your healing. I want to talk about righteousness and the importance of putting our focus on the things of God. I realize that this isn’t easy because most people only want to talk about their goal to get healed. But, I will tell you this is the way to get it I believe. Now if you search the internet; you won’t find much about this; but if you search the word or talk to some saints of God, you will.
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” – I Peter 4:10
ONE THING THAT BLOCKS MANY HEALINGS IS:
A lack of understanding on RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Therefore, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, BE YE STEADFAST, UNMOVABLE, ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE LORD, FORASMUCH AS YE KNOW THAT YOUR LABOR IS NOT IN VAIN IN THE LORD-1 Cor 15:58.
As it is written, THEN SHALL YE RETURN, AND DISCERN BETWEEN THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED, BETWEEN HIM THAT SERVETH GOD, AND HIM THAT SERVETH HIM NOT-Mal 3:18
If you will read that last scripture, it compares those that serve God not with the wicked but with the righteous.
WHAT IS RIGHTEOUS AND DOES IT COME WITH BENEFITS?
I’m so glad that question has been raised. Smile. Righteous simply means right standing with GOd. It doesn’t mean Holy. It means good in God’s eyes.
The righteous do have benefits. Here are a few:
RENEWED LIFE
Behold, I long for Your precepts; in Your righteousness give me renewed life.
Psalm 119:40
RESTORATION OF YOUR LIFE AND REFRESHING
He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him–not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake. Psalm 23: 3
YOU WILL LIVE
He who is steadfast in righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) attains to life, but he who pursues evil does it to his own death. Proverbs 11: 19
PEACE, QUIETNESS AND TRUST
And the effect of righteousness will be peace [internal and external], and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever. Isaiah 32: 17
SURROUNDED BY FAVOR!
For You, Lord, will bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with You]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and favor). Psalm 5: 12
ESTABLISHED (in your health, marriages, relationships, businesses, families, neighborhoods, jobs, schools etc.)
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the [uncompromisingly] righteous [those upright and in harmony with You]; for You, Who try the hearts and emotions and thinking powers, are a righteous God. Psalm 7: 9
MINISTERED JUSTICE
(not only will you get justice, but it will be ministered to you!)
And He will judge the world in righteousness (rightness and equity); He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.
Psalm 9: 8
GOD HEARS YOUR PRAYERS
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God), and His ears are attentive to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who practice evil [to oppose them, to frustrate, and defeat them].
1 Peter 3: 12
YOU GET A REMARKABLE HARVEST THAT YOU DETERMINE !
YOU GET PEACE TOO!
And the harvest of righteousness (of conformity to God’s will in thought and deed) is [the fruit of the seed] sown in peace by those who work for and make peace [in themselves and in others, that peace which means concord, agreement, and harmony between individuals, with undisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts]. James 3: 18
That harvest is based upon the seed you’ve sown. It could be your service to others who arechallenged in health, your time, your money, your teaching….
REAP LOVING KINDNESS AND MERCY
Sow for yourselves according to righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God); reap according to mercy and loving-kindness. Break up your uncultivated ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, to inquire for and of Him, and to require His favor, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and rains His righteous gift of salvation upon you. Hosea 10: 12
There are many more benefits to being righteous or in right standing with God. These benefits hold the key to your healing. I encourage you to pursue it. I am.
HEALMENOW!!!
