Hello Beba this is for you Mother. Hello Mother The devil has tried to stop this letter going to you already and therefore it must be important for you. Romans 10/11 (Please read) tells us that our election/salvation/healing/deliverances are all done by the grace of God. They must be received that way. This is the obedience to the gospel. Many refused and wanted the Old Testament way of getting God's blessing but it had changed and so they (the Jews in this case) did not receive the salvation of God. Though they had followed Him the Old Testament way. Astutely. NT way was to rev receive by grace. A good heart does not complain. Grow miserable. Grow hard. Grow weary though it may get grieved. It sees things God's way and not man's way. It receives the grace for what it is. God's way. God's way of healing deliverance and salvation. It is based upon someone else's righteousness and not our own. Jesus Christ's righteousness. So with healing it is the same. (Because of lawlessness or hurts the love of many will grow cold.) Devil tries to hurt our heart because he will effectively keep us from God's deliverance by doing just this. He sends his worst to stop us and God uses it against him if we will keep our hearts right. Otherwise devil wins. Jews tried to receive salvation/healing/anointing by works but God would only give it as a gift from His Son, grace. You wanted to work for it and you didn't receive anything. You had to merely receive but it is hard for hardened hearts just to merely receive. It's too good. Too easy and too wrong for them. God doesn't push. Just asks. Don't you want what I have for you? But not this way Lord. OK He says and they don't receive anything though they wanted to. He was found by those who didn't seek Him. Not this way anyway. But sought Him the New Testament way.The way of grace not works. Even works related to faith. It is free gift to those who can receive. Hardened hearts cannot receive and so the real sickness is deeper than the body. It is in the heart and it was this sickness that "by His stripes we are healed". But it effectively heals the body too.
