24.43 Christ My Healer, Christ My Health (Part 4)

Indigenous Faith

As today's edition of Indigenous Faith begins, Craig Smith answers the all-important question of how does a person transfer their focus from Christ My Healer, to Christ My Health when the Lord chooses not to give us the divine healing we are asking Him for? His answer may be surprising to you, dear friend! And as Craig notes, it was God's Holy Word that once again, in it's unique authoritative way, that provided the answers he was seeking to all the questions and issues he had to settle regarding why this tragedy met him and why his life was changed dramatically in only four short seconds at the Miracle at Mile Marker 313. Profound truths were given to Craig by an elder mentor in his life, Rev. Tom Claus, as he read two verses in the book of Psalms that contains the answer to the ultimate unanswerable questions one faces when tragedy and trauma hit hard. Hearing, embracing, and accepting the supernatural truths contained in these two verses made all the difference in Craig's life that helped him begin living in Divine Health even in his very broken body. Craig also makes much about an important doctrinal truth about Divine Healing as being an integral part of the Atonement, accomplished for us on Calvary's cross when Christ died for our sins. He also bore our sicknesses and diseases on that same cross and as Isaiah noted, and by His wounds, we are healed. Healing is in that complete work of the cross. But Craig contends that the Atonement is not just found in the cross, it's also embedded in the empty tomb as well. The resurrection of Christ and in particular, the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, Paul said to the Romans, provides for this other item, Christ's Divine Health, as that same Spirit gives life to our mortal bodies. Divine Healing is in the work of the cross, Divine Health is found in the work of the Resurrection...life to our mortal bodies. It is an amazing thing to ponder, dear friend, all that Christ accomplished for us when He went to the cross, died, was buried, then three days later rose from the dead and is alive forever more! And included in all that He did in those three amazing days, includes His divine healing and His divine health! Wow, what a powerful work He accomplished. And yes, as Jesus Himself said, It is finished! Hallelujah!
