Treatment Plans

Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have confessed so well before many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:12, NLT) 

I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. (Philippians 3:14, NLT) 

During a routine dental exam, my children were referred to an orthodontist. We were told the orthodontist would create a treatment plan for them that we agreed with and at the end of plan, they would have beautiful teeth. 

I thought, hmmmm...treatment plans. That is how we fight the good fight of faith and press on, we build a treatment plan! 

A few days later, I saw a post by Pastor Nick Van Rensburg on the Christian Family Church Hawaii Facebook page. After reading his post, I was inspired! Blessed! Invigorated! I wanted to share it with you so I asked for permission to use it in this blog post.  Thank you Pastor Nick! 

While we are on Oahu, Christian Family Church is our home church. You can find Christian Family churh at the link below.

Time to Get Serious

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee.... I [will] remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. (Psalm 63:1,6)

If you're going to live in divine health, there are going to be times when you'll have to be downright extreme about the Word of God. Times when you may be facing a sickness so severe that you need more than just a few moments in the Word and a quick prayer to receive your healing. 

I want to tell you, in very practical terms, what I would do in a situation like that. 

- The moment I woke up in the morning, before I did anything else, I'd take Communion. I'd say, "Lord, I dedicate my body all day today to the service of my Lord Jesus Christ. I take Jesus' pure blood shed for me." 
- Then I'd put the devil in his place. I'd say, "I rebuke you, Satan. You're not going to put any sickness and disease on me today. Regardless of the symptoms, regardless of what my body thinks about it, by the power of Jesus through His Spirit, I have overcome this sickness because He that is within me is greater than he that is in the world." 
- Then, all day long, I'd thank God for my healing. I'd choose some teaching tapes that would fill my mind and my spirit with the anointed Word of God, and I'd listen to them throughout the day. In the afternoon, I'd praise God and receive Communion again to remind myself that the blood of Jesus is in my veins, that I'm part of God's family. 

You don't have to wait until Sunday to receive Communion. Jesus just said, "As often as you do this, do it in remembrance of Me." And if you're facing a serious attack of the devil, you need to remember Him all day and all night. You need to consider Jesus until thoughts of Him push the thoughts of that sickness right out of your mind ... That night before bed I'd receive Communion again, then I'd praise myself to sleep. If I woke up in the night, I'd reach over and get my Bible and read all the healing scriptures and make the devil sorry he woke me. 

When the devil launches a serious attack against your body, don't mess around. Get serious about the Word. Put yourself under its constant care and it will take good care of you!
