John 6:57 57As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
Some time ago, I visited a friend of a church member who had
cancer and wanted healing. He was all ears, lapping and
soaking up everything I shared with him. Today, he worships
with us in our church and is completely healed of cancer.
I remember being at another man’s home at the invitation of
his family members. He too was suffering from cancer. When I
entered his home, the man had his television on. I started
sharing Christ with him but he was not at all interested in
what I was saying. He continued watching the television
program. I knew then that his healing was a lost cause because
faith for healing comes by hearing God’s Word, not by watching
television, reading newspapers or listening to your favorite
music.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not against these things, but they
are not going to heal you. When you are sick, what you want is
God’s healing flowing in your body. How does that happen?
One of the primary ways in which it happens is when you read
your Bible, soaking up everything on Jesus. Before you know
it, His divine health flows into your body, driving out every
symptom of pain, sickness and disease. Even your
discouragement dissolves effortlessly. You find yourself
encouraged, refreshed and your darkness giving way to light.
You see, there is no way you can feed on Jesus through reading
and hearing His Word, and still remain the same. He said, “The
words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”
(John 6:63)
My friend, God wants Jesus to be food for you. We feed on
Christ by seeing Him unveiled in the Word, by seeing and
meditating on what the Holy Spirit reveals of His beauty and
glory, and His finished work at Calvary. That is how we enjoy
Jesus. It is like having a good meal. And when you do that,
Jesus Himself promises that “he who feeds on Me will live
because of Me”!
