IT IS BY GRACE: OVERCOMING STRONGHOLDS 1

Broadcast 3787
2 Corinthians 10:4- 6 (NLT) We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
Once, Folu faced a severe illness, and it seemed like he might not make it. Ola stood by his side throughout. He prayed for Folu, but he also noticed that Folu seemed to rely more on the doctor's expertise than on the Lord's miraculous healing power. This mindset had been a stronghold that prevented Folu from experiencing God's grace for health and healing throughout his life. Unlike Ola, who never fell ill and never had to take medication, Folu spent a significant amount of money and time on sickness and disease. He couldn't fully embrace God's grace for health because of this stronghold in his mind.

Many Christians are held back from embracing God's grace for health and healing by a similar stronghold. The devil creates this stronghold by showcasing instances where people remained sick or even passed away, despite claiming to have faith in divine healing. They tend to forget that there are also cases where people didn't recover, and in some instances, seeking medical help even led to their death.

Let it be clear, I'm not discrediting medical care and healing. What I'm emphasizing is that God's healing power is genuine. He provides supernatural health and healing that human understanding cannot fathom. Divine health should not be a rare occurrence among God's children. Healing is the children's bread (see Mat 15:22-29, Mark 16:18).

Go into today knowing that grace for divine health is for you. The package of salvation encompasses not only your spiritual well-being but also your physical health and healing (see 1 Pet 2:24).

Prayer: Lord, I ask you to dismantle every stronghold in my life. Amen.
