Messiah Jesus Christ spent at least two-thirds of His time healing the sick. It indicates that God’s nature is to heal, to set the captive free…to make people whole. Others called these miracles; Jesus called them “The works of my Father.” Jesus was sent so the healing nature of the Father would be seen working in Him. God wanted ALL His people to be in health. He said, “I am the Lord that healeth thee” (Exodus15:26). He said, “I will take sickness away from the midst of thee” (Exodus 23:25) He said, “Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling”(Psalm 91:10). Also God described himself as the One “Who healeth all thy diseases” (Psalm 103:3). 

James says: “Is there any sick among you? Let the sick call for the leaders of the church to pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord (Jesus).” And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up.” God put both His healing streams here: medical help and prayer help both ordained of God. But He put the responsibility on the sick to think of God as the Source of their healing by calling for Christian leaders to pray. God wants you healed, raised up from your sickness, restored to health today in the same way as Jesus did while He was on earth, and as the early Christians did.  James says that “we should in our illnesses” confess our sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. The petition of a righteous man avails much in its working.” (James 5:16).

Jesus appointed out the sin of blaspheming against the Spirit will not be forgiven. He said, “Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age nor in the one to come.”(Matthew12:31-32). Blaspheming the Spirit differs from insulting the Spirit (Heb.10:29). To insult the Spirit is to disobey Him willfully. Many believers do this. If they confess their sin, they will be forgiven and cleansed by the Lord Jesus’ blood (1 john 1:7,9). But to blaspheme the Spirit is to slander Him, as the Pharisees did in Matthew 12:24. It was by the Spirit that the Lord cast out a demon. But the Pharisees, seeing it, said that the Lord cast out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons. This was blasphemy against the Spirit. By such blasphemy the Pharisees’ rejection of the heavenly King reached its climax. 

 In the economy of the Triune God, the Father conceived the plan of redemption (Eph.1:5,9), the Son accomplished redemption according to the Father’s plan(1Pet.2:24;Gal.1:4), and the Spirit reaches sinners to apply the redemption accomplished by the Son (1 Cor.6:11;1 Pet.1:2). If a sinner blasphemes the Son, as Saul of Tarsus did, the Spirit will still have the ground to work on him and cause him to repent and believe in the Son that he may be forgiven (1 Tim.1:13-16). But if a sinner blasphemes the Spirit, the Spirit will have no ground to work on him, and there will be no one left to cause him to repent and believe.

In God’s governmental administration His forgiveness is dispensational. For His administration He has planned different ages. The period from the first coming of Christ to eternity is divided dispensational into three ages.

First, this age, the present one, from Christ’s first coming to His second coming.

Second, the coming age, the millennium, the one thousand years for restoration and heavenly reigning from Christ’s second coming to the end of the old heaven and old hearth.

Third, eternity- the eternal age of the new heaven and new earth. God’s forgiveness in this age is for sinners’ eternal salvation. This forgiveness is given to both sinners and believers. God’s forgiveness in the coming age is related to the believers’ dispensational reward. If after being saved a believer commits a sin but will not make a clearance through confession and the cleansing of the Lord Jesus’ blood (1 John 1:7,9) before he dies or the Lord comes back, the sin will not be forgiven in this age but will remain and will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor.5:10). In such a case, the believer will not be rewarded with the kingdom, i.e., will not participate with Christ in the glory and joy in the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens, but will be disciplined so that the sin is cleared, and will be forgiven in the coming age (Matt.18:23-25). This kind of forgiveness will maintain this believer’s eternal salvation but will not qualify him to participate in the glory and joy of the coming kingdom (the millennium, the one thousand years for restoration and heavenly reigning from Christ’s second coming to the end of the old heaven and old earth. Therefore, confess your sins if you are saved as a believer yet commit the sins; you need to make a clearance through confession and the cleansing of the Lord Jesus’ blood.

 James says that “we should in our illnesses” confess our sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. This Monday, my husband and I went to pray for my follow friends, I anointed them with oil in the name of the Lord Jesus, and declared the word of God for healing. This is my personal seed-faith prayer; I plant a seed of faith by praying for the other sick person not only for her healing, but for God to multiply that seed back for my household healing.

My friends, do you want to be healed, first you must to confess your sins to one another, and then make your confession of faith for healing for each other. This is your own powerful seed-faith prayer; you plant a seed of faith by praying for the other sick person not only for his healing, but for God to multiply that seed back for your healing which is a two –way prayer.  God has sent me and others to pray for your healing. God wants you to be healed and to be in health. You and I have responsibilities to maintain in health, and be in health until we go home to be with God.

Most important, we shall confess our sins before we die or before the Lord comes back. The sin will be forgiven in this age, and we will participate with Christ in the glory and joy in the manifestation of the kingdom of the heavens (In the millennium kingdom). If you are saved as a believer, commit sin and did not confess and cleaned by the blood of Jesus before you die or the Lord comes back, the sin will not be forgiven in this age but will remain and you will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10). Which mean although you are saved as a believer, but you will not be rewarded with the kingdom, will not participate with Christ in the glory and joy in the manifestation of the kingdom of the heaven. You will be disciplined so that the sin is cleared and will be forgiven in the coming age. So, my friends, confess your sin before you die or before the Lord Christ comes back and be healed!
