CHAPTER NINE

INVISIBLE BARRIERS TO HEALING

I have seen thousands of people healed over the years, but I have also noticed that some of God's choicest children do not receive healing. As we discussed in chapter one, the reason some people are not healed is a mystery known only to God. "The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law"

(Deuteronomy 29:29).

The things we can't explain or understand are secret things belonging to God. However, there are other things that are revealed, and they belong to us so that we may receive and act on them. While a lack of healing may sometimes be a mystery, other times, the cause may be identified. It is my responsibility as a teacher of God's Word to minister such revealed things to God's people.

There are certain barriers to healing that we can clearly identify, and which the Holy Spirit will enable us to understand and remove so we can receive the healing Christ has provided for us.

Guided By The Spirit Of Truth

One of the titles of the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth. Jesus said, When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

(John 16:13-15)

Everything the Father has is invested in the Son. And all the wealth of the Father and the Son is administered by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is the steward, the keeper of the storehouse. It will be to our benefit to make friends with Him! Let us be open to Him as He teaches us how to receive from that storehouse.

The Barriers Are Not On God's Side

In ministering to the sick over the years, I have discovered that any barriers to healing are not on God's side. When Jesus died, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, signifying our access to God through Christ, and every barrier on God's side was removed.

(See, for example, Matthew 27:50-51.) Remember, the cross is the meeting place between God and man.

Yet I have learned by experience that barriers to healing often remain within the hearts and lives of God's people. Whether you are seeking healing for yourself or for others, you must be aware of these barriers and deal with them first. I have discovered that this saves endless time when ministering healing.

Seven Barriers To Receiving Healing

I am going to work systematically through seven common barriers that prevent people from receiving healing. There could be others, but these are ones I have identified.
