Introduction

The Things that Are is an interesting writing that deals with healing, the Christian life, and the rising of our Spiritual ministry in the midst of evil.

The spontaneity, and presence, of God’s Spirit in our lives is the only Gospel … that is respected in this book.

Our traditions … may have robbed us of the Gospel of Light: the Spiritual relationship … that Jesus, and the apostles of the early church, spoke of. (St. John chs.14,15,16)

As we look at the authority of the Spirit Word, and the power of oath that is found in Christ, a whole new realm of the eternal becomes apparent.

Introductions to some new understandings are brought out for those who are seeking God’s life, as they are encouraged to become acquainted with … the Spirit of Truth.

The suggestion in the Review Breaks of this book, is that you might hear what the Spirit is saying, and diligently make it your own, that you might bring forth good fruit unto the glory of the Father. (St. Luke ch.8) - Bill Campbell

Chapter One

Healing is God’s Idea

God’s Idea

See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no God with Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver ... out of My hand. - Deuteronomy 32:39

The first thing that we must realize is that God is God. If we struggle with His judgments in this brief time on earth, we'll probably have a hard time accepting His rulership in eternity.

God raises up individuals; and He takes down individuals. He raises up nations; and He brings them to nought. God heals lands, and nature; and He does things ... that we don't understand. There is no blessing, or curse, that should ever change this realization: both now, and for eternity.

But, having said that, I want to share some thoughts with you about the gospel of Christ. It is interesting to note, that when God spoke to His prophets about the coming of the Christ, there is always the mention of a great healing, and restoration, that would accompany this Savior; and this anointing.

1. Healing is the fulfillment of prophecy

"And there was delivered unto him the Book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the Book, he found the place where it was written (ch.61),

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the Book, and gave it again to the minister, and sat down.

And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day ... is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears." - St. Luke 4:17-21

And again …

When the evening was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, he, himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses. - St. Matthew 8:16,17

2. Healing is the witness to the Christ anointing

"And John calling unto him two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, Are you he that should come, or do we look for another ? (speaking of the promised Christ, the Savior)

When the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist has sent us unto you, asking, Are you he that should come, or do we look for another ?

And in that same hour, he cured many of their infirmities, and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind, he gave sight.

Then Jesus answering, said unto them, Go your way, and tell John the things that you have seen, and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, ... and the gospel is preached to the poor." - St. Luke 7:19-22

3. The first missionaries were sent out to heal

Then, he called his twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. - St. Luke 9:1,2

Jesus taught his disciples ...

Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believes on me, the works that I do, shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. - St. John 14:12

You shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me, in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. - Acts 1:8

(See also: Acts 2:38-43, ch.5:32, ch.14:7-10, and 1 Corinthians ch.12)

Healing (of the Gospel)

Whenever we read about Jesus, or the early disciples, being associated with healing, it has basically been translated from three Greek terms ... that will help our understanding.

therape'uo - to wait upon menially, to adore (God), to relieve (of disease): cure, heal, worship

iao'mai - to cure, heal, ... make whole

sozo - to deliver, or protect; heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole

The first one is quite often associated with Jesus, in the beginning of his ministry, where we see him healing all the people … that were brought out to him.

This picture of attitude shows us somewhat of the nature of the ministry; and how one beholds God, and the creature of God. It's almost an act of worship to God, not just service to mankind. (gospel of Matthew)

The second term shows us the ability: the Lord's presence to heal. (as in St. Luke 5:17, and 9:2)

The third word shows us the subjugating power of the Kingdom of God; where people are taken, or delivered from the enemy, into God's dominion and protection.

This is the power of God's salvation, as demonstrated in the Christ anointing. (St. Luke 8:36, and Acts 14:9)

______

Healing is a part of God's salvation that shows His concern for the well being, and protection, ... of His creation.

For some of us, our lifestyle and habits have strayed far from this vision ...of His Spirit.

May God help us to see the light of His redeeming gospel, ... that we might be participants here in this earth, in our generation.

Realization from the Holy Spirit

Take time, review, hear, … and write

What about this Previous Section … ? Be specific Which part ?

This Break is not for Questions & Answers, but rather for Realization that comes to you from the Holy Spirit. Take time to also read the Scriptures referred to. The Holy Spirit has much to say to you. You are His. As we build upon realization, write what the Lord speaks to you, and shows you. It’s important to your growth. (Ephesians 1:17-20)

Chapter Two

Healing is God’s Idea

Spiritual Vision

and

Manifestation

Two Creations

Compare St. John chs.1-4 to Genesis ch.1-4

These two portions of scripture deal with the realization of the 1. creative power of God's Word, … and 2. the manifestation of it.

Both of these accounts open with the eternal, all-powerful, … Word of God.

In both cases, we see a creation going on that is in the unseen realm of the Spiritual and eternal ... prior to the evidence of it ... in the earthly realm.

What am I saying ?

I'm saying that in Genesis chapter one you have an account of God creating light (Genesis 1:3-5); and then, you have a further account of Him doing the
