Matthew Chapter 9
18.While he was saying these things to them, behold, a ruler came in and knelt before him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
19. And Jesus rose and followed him, with his disciples.
20. And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment,
21. for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.”
22. Jesus turned, and seeing her he said,“Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.”And instantly the woman was made well.
23. And when Jesus came to the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,
24. he said,“Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.”And they laughed at him.
25. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26. And the report of this went through all that district.
27. And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.”
28. When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them,“Do you believe that I am able to do this?”They said to him, “Yes, Lord.”
29. Then he touched their eyes, saying,“According to your faith be it done to you.”
30. And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them,“See that no one knows about it.”
31. But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.
As I was reading this chapter today and praying Father's voice came to me and he asked me to write down the following words and share them with you. He said:
My children, study the verses that you just read and heard. What do they all have in common? Each of these people in this chapter had faith, but what did they have faith in? Did they have faith in a formula or a five step program for healing? Did they have faith in confessing the scriptures until they were healed? No, they had faith in a person and in that person's ability to make them whole.
Healing is a person. He is my son. We are healing. Healing is not what we do, it is who we are. We are health and our health is more contagious than your disease. All of these people had faith that Jesus would heal them and he did. All they had to do was have faith to get to him, or even have someone else who did. Healing is not an event. It comes from contacting the healer.
The good news of the gospel is not a message about a new religion and new ways of connecting with me. It is good news that we became one with you so you could be one with us. It's not about formulas or plans or methods. It is about relationship.
In the church today it seems every day someone is selling you a new plan about how to be healed. There are three, five, seven and even books full of steps and programs to get you well. I have a great plan for you and it only requires one step. My plan is called Christ. Receive him and you get all that we are. You received him as Lord and Master but have you received him as healer?
In the old covenant healing was external. Power came from outside of you to heal you. In the new covenant the healer lives inside you and you are healed by fellowship with the healer within, You have no excuse for not touching him because he lives in you. In the old covenant the power or anointing came upon you to heal you from outside. In the new covenant you are inhabited by my life-giving Spirit who is constantly quickening you and making you whole from inside out.

So many of you have been healed from things you didn't even know about because my life destroyed the sickness before you even had symptoms. The more you learn to rest and fellowship with the healer inside you the healthier you will become. You will get better day by day until you are completely whole. There will be a day as I spoke of through my prophet Zechariah when the feeblest among you will be like King David and the house of David shall be as God with the angel of the Lord going before you.
This truth of my life-giving Spirit living in you is why Jesus told his disciples that it was better if he came back to heaven and sent Holy Spirit to you. Jesus became flesh and is still flesh. He kept his body. You can't be inhabited by another body, you can only be inhabited by a spirit. Holy Spirit is one with me and one with Christ so when he moves in you are filled with all our fullness. This was the purpose of all that Jesus did. We love you and wanted to be one with you.
I hear you say "What about laying on hands." Yes people are still healed by the laying on of hands but what comes with the laying on of hands? Was not my Spirit received by the laying on of hands? This is why you get healed that way. It still doesn't come from outside. The person who puts their hands on you sometimes releases my Spirit from within them to contact you but most times it just stirs up my anointing within you to heal you.
My church must start seeing me as the God who lives inside them and not the God far away. It's time to build on relationship and not religion. This is the new covenant. I live in you and walk in you, I write my love laws on your heart and on your mind, and in me you live and move and have your being. No longer separated by space or time or any other thing. It is Christ and Me and My Spirit in you and you in us. Not four but one. Let this sink down into your heart. Not four but one.
So please my beloved ones, stop buying all the formulas and programs and searching for ways to be well and get healed. I am the God who heals you. Healing is not an event. Healing is a person. Christ in you is the hope of glory.

No more reaching out to get healed. Settle into my rest knowing that the healer is inside you. Rest in me and be well and blessed. Fellowship with me in spirit and in truth. My Spirit is within you, so fellowship with me inside. Let's sing together and make melody in your heart and mine. Be well my beloved ones and know that I am with you always.
This was the end of the words He spoke to me earlier today.
