“…and the inhabitants (of Zion) will not say, “I am sick…” —Isaiah 33:24 (NKJV)
Having established the truth about what to do when you feel symptoms of illness in your body, it is important to know that as simple as this issue might sound, it goes a long way to determining the experience you will have regarding your health. You must make a conscious decision to declare your healing and not your symptoms. Sadly, not many live out this truth. Most people tend to say what they feel, and this, in turn, gives the enemy a foothold in their bodies. Some others immediately rush to the hospital for a diagnosis, and when the test result is out, they believe in it and accept it as reality. If the reports are bad, they start living in fear, which is not the kind of life that God has called us to live. You must understand that God’s word was not given to us as a suggestion but as an instruction.
The fact that you feel pain in your body does not mean you are actually sick. What you are feeling are symptoms, which the devil wants you to acknowledge so they can be turned into sickness. You must come to a place in your life where you draw the line. You’ve got to choose who will be in charge—you or the symptoms. When you are in charge, you speak God’s Word over the symptoms. Do not use your mouth to say “I am sick,” because when you do, you give power to that confession. Learn to be calm and apply God’s word. Refuse to say what you feel, but what you want to feel. Don’t be quick to accept that something is wrong with your body. Use your mouth and God’s word to take charge of your body.
Maintain your confession of sound health because this is what God expects from you. And remember, as you make these declarations, do not do it in an attempt to convince yourself; rather, do it because this is what you know. When you maintain your ground, those symptoms will leave you in no time. Remember, “…no one living in Zion will say, “I am ill…” Isaiah 33:24 (NIV). Praise God!
Today’s Rhema
Declare what you want to feel, not what you feel!
Confession for the Day
Father, I thank you for giving me eternal life. I cannot be sick, and I refuse to be sick because greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. I am an overcomer; and I prophesy that any sickness that comes into contact with my body dies on contact in the name of Jesus. Amen!
