God Wants You Well!
by Gloria Copeland
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; and they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. (Luke 6:17-19)
od does not play favorites. It is His will for you to be healed. Period. Now, you may hear me say that God wants you well and want to believe itbut your faith cannot operate beyond your knowledge of His Word. Thats a large part of what this study is about: getting the Word inside you concerning healing. Gods Word says, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge... (Hosea 4:6). In the physical realm this is true. The bodies of born-again believers are being destroyed because they do not have the knowledge of Gods Word that it is His will for them to be healed. Many die young even though it is not Gods will. God said, I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.... The number of thy days I will fulfil (Exodus 23:25-26). He says in Psalm 91:16, With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. It is not His will for you to die young. It is His will for you to live long and satisfied on the earth without sickness and disease! Healing is not just a New Testament blessing. God has always provided healing for His people. Psalm 103:2-3 says, Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases. Many have forgotten Gods benefit of healing for their bodies. If you had been taught that it is Gods will to heal you the same way you have been taught it is Gods
will for you to be saved, you would have a different attitude toward sickness. Jesus bore your sicknesses and carried your diseases at the same time and in the same manner that He bore your sins. You are just as free from sickness and disease as you are from sin. You should be as quick to refuse sickness and disease in your body as you are to refuse sin. Plant the Word To live free from sickness, you must plant the Word of God concerning healing in your heart. Well be doing that throughout the 10 sessions in this workbook. Gods Word is the incorruptible seed. First Peter 1:23 says you are born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. You are healed the same wayby the incorruptible seed of the Word of God. Incorruptible means that the seed cannot be destroyed or spoiled. Disease cannot stop it. Men cannot spoil it. Satan cannot stop the power of it. I can prove that to you with salvation. Once you hear the Word of God and decide to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, there is no power that can stop the new birth from taking place in your spirit. No devil in hell can stop you from being born again. It is the same way with healing. You receive everything from the Lord the same wayby faith. Results

I Want My People Well
by Kenneth Copeland
ometime ago, God dealt with me on the subject of healing and how important it is for believers to live free from sickness and disease. His words to me then were so strong, they echoed in my spirit for weeks. He said, I want My people well! God wants every believer to be healed and whole. He says in 3 John 2, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. After Jesus was raised from the dead, He appeared to His disciples and issued certain decrees that would affect the world forever. Healing was one of those decrees. Jesus said: Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:15-18). These words are vitally important to every believer today. Jesus commanded the Church to go forth in His Name, and part of this Great Commission is that believers lay hands on the sick. At that moment, Jesus set the Church against sickness and disease. Healing is Gods masterstroke of evidence that He is alive and doing well. It is physical proof of His existence and willingness to meet our needs on every level.

Spiritual Maturity No two people are exactly the same spiritually. Each is at his individual level of spiritual growth. But generally, there are three categories of spiritual life: 1. The worldsinners or unbelievers, who do not know God 2. The carnally minded Christian spiritual babies, who do not have Gods Word working proficiently in their lives
3. The mature Christianspiritual adults, skillful in the Word of God Gods Word is designed to minister to individual needs at each level of spiritual growth. In 1 Corinthians 3:1-3, Paul refers to the two levels of spiritual maturity within the Body of Christ, the Church: And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? Paul could not teach the Corinthian believers about deeper spiritual things because they were not mature enough to understand. They were babes in Christ, and he had to feed them with milkthe basic principles of faithas you would feed a tiny baby. Hebrews 5:13 says, For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. First Peter 2:2 says, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.

REAL-LIFE TESTIMONIES
No More Pain
Two years ago I was in a car accident that left me in a lot of pain. There was also an injury to my spine. After eight months of pain, lack of sleep, nausea and the inability to care for my family, God told me to listen to Glorias healing CDs. I played them repeatedly and listened to them as I drifted in and out of sleep. As the days went by, I was able to sleep more and more. I was able to stand longer and the pain lessened. Ten days later, when I went to the doctor, he verified that my spine was healed. We have continued to see amazing things God has done. Thank you for your ministry. C.V. Wisconsin
