hmmmm..... healing?

"Divine healing is not a new thing; it is as old as the Book. I have chosen today the first chapter of Genesis, with emphasis on the 26th verse:

"And God said, let us make man in our own likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, andover all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth," -Gen. 1:26.

I want you to notice the 31st verse of the same chapter. "And God saw everything that He made, and, behold, it was very good." I read that as a reminder of the fact that God made everything good, and there was a time in the history of the human race when there was not a man or a woman with a cancer or a tumor, or tuberculosis, or Bright's disease, or diabetes, or any one of the ten thousand things that afflict mankind in our day.............

...Suppose we could have lined up this whole audience a couple of years ago, and had them pass before this platform. What a sorry procession it would have been. Miss Celia Prentice would have to pass along in steel braces, with one leg two inches shorter that the other, having been that way from birth. When she passes before the platform today, she walks on equal legs, and her feet are the same size and shape. That was not a healing - that was a work of creation, fulfilling the pattern that was in the mind of God, and bringing the structural form of that girl to where God saw "it was good"....

.....But bless God, there was a day when there was not one to pass God's platform with a cancer, nobody had a tumor, or any other form of disease. Our first parents were were lovely, sweet, and good. Every drop of blood in their body was perfect - 100% pure. That is the thing that we are trying these days to get men to understand. God is trying to get them to separate themselves unto Him, so that that same pure life of God that came from heaven, and took possession of men's lives, with come again. And it's same divine sweetness and heavenly purity will be recognized in us making us sweet and pure and lovely, body, soul and spirit."

~John G. Lake, from chapter 2 of "The John G. Lake Sermons - on dominion over demons, disease and death".

this has me intruigued.

He came that we might have life, and life to the full... could that really be life without sickness? life, without death licking at it's heels? where we don't get sick and die until it's our time? where God wants us to take authority over His creation as such that we can command the cells of the body to become obedient to God's perfect design? that we can take back the land taken by the enemy and cursed by sin and see life restored?

hmmmm.
