CHAPTER 4
RECREATED FOR HEALTH
It is very vital to know who you are in Christ. With the knowledge of who you are will come boldness to be that person whom God has made you to be. When you understand who you are, then you will realize why it is possible for you to live in health always and say 'No!' to the devil's attempt to afflict your body with sickness.
The New Testament books: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are not the history of Jesus, but the revelation of the man Jesus. They cannot be a historical account or a biography, because when you read the last pages of these gospels, you'll conclude that Jesus Christ is still alive. At the end of your study, you'll come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as the Son of God.
The written life of Christ is well-documented in the gospels, and they reveal that the Word of God was made flesh and dwelt amongst us (John 1:14). You cannot come out of that study without making a discovery of the revelation of Jesus.
Coming over to the epistles, we also have the revelation of another man, this time the new creation. The epistles are more than letters of Paul to the churches. While Paul was writing, the Holy Ghost took hold of his hand and brought forth the revelation of a man - the new creation in Christ. You are that new creation, and the earlier you come to an understanding of who you are, the better your life would be.
One With The Father, The Son And, The Holy Ghost
1 John 3:1-2 says, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we
shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
Every one of us who has been born-again (not just apostles, prophets or evaneglists) is now a bona fide child of God. I'd like you to consider this question: When a child has been born and he is only three days old, is he a full human person, or does he become more human as he grows? Of course, it's easy for you to say he is fully human; he is not growing in humanity. But why do we think so when it comes to God. The Bible says, "Now are we the sons of God!" not when we get to heaven. Now, already, we are the sons of God. If you were born again yesterday, you became one of the sons of God yesterday. You are not going to grow into sonship more than you are now. You are completely a son of God as your own son in the flesh would be your son without growing into it, because He is born your son.
You see, the knowledge of God's Word will affect your mentality, your behaviour and ultimately all the things that happen in your life here on earth. So it matters what you know. From our outward appearance it may not yet be clear what we're going to look like. But we know that when Jesus shall appear we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is (1 John 3:1,2). Our appearance will change, but now we're fully the sons of God.
I Corinthians 1:9, "God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, "
This is a mind-blowing Scripture. We've been called into the fellowship of God's Son. It means we've been called into communion with His Son Jesus Christ. We're in fellowship with the Father (1 John 1:3) and also in fellowship with the Son (1 Corinthians 1:9). We've been called into fellowship with the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 13:14, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Chırist, and the love of God, and the comnunion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen."
The word translated 'communion' is the same word that means 'fellowship.' So we're in communion with the Father, with the Son and with the Holy Ghost.
To be in communion with the Father means to be in union with Him. It's a high bond of friendship based on the covenant we have with Him. It's a oneness; an identity with Him that affects our lives. Being one with God means we have peace with Him.
Romans 5:1, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"
We're one with God, we're in friendship with Him. We no longer need to be afraid of being in His awesome presence. While we were yet sinners, God confirmed His love towards us by giving up His Son to die for us (Romans 5:8). Now being in friendship with Him, we have a right to His presence.

Divine Health Is Now Yours
When you were recreated with the life of God, you were recreated in divine health. You have to understand this. The fallen nature of the first Adam came with sickness and could be influenced by it, but the nature of God, which you have now received, came with life. It came with health.
The power of sickness is destroyed. It cannot have a home in your body. Sickness has become a thing of the past.
Health became yours the day you received Jesus into your life. It became your present tense possession. You don't have to get it by faith. A lot of times we don't understand this and we turn back to live on the plane of the ordinary man, but you can stay in health.
*You are not ordinary. This should be in your consciousness 24/7. When you think otherwise, your life would be governed by the factors that control the physical realm. There is a way we live, we live in God and His Word having continual fellowship and communion with Him. We have right to His presence. This destroys the power of the devil over lives and brings us in conformity with His laid out plans for us. Hallelujah!
Let nothing steal your joy, not a malfunction in your body, not a boil, not a headache, not even the devil.
Psalms 16:11
"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."
As you fellowship with God, your life is balanced, your joy is full, you live happy everyday! Glory to God!

CHAPTER 5
THE LIFE OF THE BLOOD OR THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT
Leviticus 17:11, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that naketh an atonement for the soul. "
Leviticus 17:14, "For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner offlesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off."
When you go through the seventeenth chapter of the book of Leviticus, twice you'll find God telling the children of Israel the life of the flesh is in the blood. That means the body is kept alive by the power of the blood that is in it.
This is why God told them that shedding blood was tantamount to taking life. Medical doctors would say the same thing. But the world is making a new discovery, the discovery of a new specie of people whose life is sustained by something higher than
blood. Yes, for them in the Old Testament the blood sustained life, but for the new creature in Christ, there is a higher law at work.
Writing about Jesus, John said, "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:12-13).
We were not born of blood, So we cannot be sustained by blood. We experienced a spiritual rebirth, the new life in our spirit is not dependent on blood. We were born by the Spirit of God, and this life in our spirits has affected our human body, such that even our human body is no longer dependent on the blood running in it.
Living By The Faith Of Jesus
Galatians 2:20, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
This means when Jesus was crucified we were Crucified with Him. He didn't go to the Cross for Himself. He was crucified for us. Jesus took responsibility for our errors and so He died for us and was raised again with a new kind of life. And the life that we now live in the body, we live by the faith of the Son of God.
This is something beyond human comprehension. Paul said, "I am crucified with Christ, never theless I live." This means, "I have already died, but I am alive, yet not me, but, Christ lives in me. I no longer live with the life of the outward body that you see. The life that I now live in the body I live by the faith of the Son of God.' This is different from saying, "I live by my faith." This is living by the faith of the Son of God, not by
your faith.
What does this mean? Have you ever thought about the faith of the Son of God? What was His faith? His faith was in the resurrection life. And the resurrection life is not dependent on blood, but on the power of an endless life.
So we no longer say we live by blood. For us in the New Testament, the life is not in the blood. That was the old life. We were living by blood until He was crucified on that cross. The life we now live in the body we live by the faith of the Son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us. When you understand this, sickness would be a thing of the past.
In Mark 16:15-16, the Lord Jesus said, "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
Then He said something mind-blowing in verses 17 and 18: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In ny name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
We've always thought this was a promise. But it's not a promise, neither is it a prophecy. The Lord was showing them a mystery, telling them there's a new class of men arriving on the scene and they will be known by the signs that follow them. They shall cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up serpents and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them.
Why will it not hurt them? Because they've stopped living by blood. There's a new life flowing in them. They're living by the faith of the Son of God.
Prior to this time, it was the blood that gave life to the mortal body. But the Holy Spirit now lives in us and He gives life to our mortal bodies.
Romans 8:11, "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christfrom the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."
That's why Jesus said if they shall drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them. They cannot be poisoned, and that's not a promise! Jesus wasn't even saying He would be with them so they wouldn't be poisoned. No! The point is even if they drink it, it shall not have power over them.
We haven't understood this yet but we need to, because, the Bible says, "Through knowledge shall the just be delivered." God said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). 'Perish' and 'Suffer mean the same thing. God's people suffer because of lack of knowledge, so they go on in pain, sickness and deprivation. Why? Because the lack of knowledge destroys. But when the knowledge of the Word of God takes possession of the human spirit, something new happens. You start walking in a new way, people would even wonder what happened to you. You don't speak their language of doubt, unbelief and lack anymore. You only speak life to your body and your home. You don't claim sickness from the devil, rather, you cast out sickness, commanding it to leave in the Name of Jesus.
No wonder the Bible says, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2).
Romans 8:9, "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."
Look at the next verse, this is mind-blowing:
Verse 10, "And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness."
This means that even though your body was under the influence of death because of sin, now that Christ lives in you, the Holy Spirit gives it life because of righteousness. Now that Christ dwells in you, the body ceases to control you. You're not controlled any longer by your sensory perceptions, the voice of your body. You're different from those who live according to the feelings of the body. Those who behave according to their sight, according to their feeling, what they hear from outside, what they taste, what they smell. They feel a pain, so they say, "I have stomach ulcer." We're different now; our life is no longer controlled by the body; it is not dependent on the blood. The same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus up from the dead now lives in us. He quickens; makes alive, vitalizes our bodies. He is now the source of life for our bodies, Hallelujah!
*After salvation, the Holy Spirit became the source of our lives. Our life comes from Him. He is the one who supplies life to our bodies. This life is incorruptible, unperishable, not subject to this earth, not controlled by feelings or emotions. This is the very life that God is living with made available to us through Our Precious Holy Spirit. Given to us free of charge so that we can live happy. Hallelujah!
If you had a pain in any part of your body, all you do is check, does that area have eternal life? If it does, then there is no pain there. Hallelujah! Same goes for any kind of anomaly in any part of your body.
You are saturated with eternal life. Get it crested on your reasoning pattern. This would help you stay your mind on if, so the devil won't play with your mind. This life is you and you are This life. Praise God! Never allow a blue day, it's unnecessary for you as a child of God, just live your life and live it to the full. Praise God!*

CHAPTER 6
THE IMPACT OF ZOË ON THE HUMAN BODY
Zoë - The God Kind of Life
John 20:30-31, "And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye mnight believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye night have life through his name. "
John's gospel was written with a primary purpose in mind: to intimate the reader with the divinity of Jesus, that the reader may have life in His Name.
What kind of Life?
1 John 5:11-13, "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I writ ten unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."
This life is eternal, indestructible life and it is called 'Zoë.' He that has the Son has Zoë. Zoë is the God-kind of life. It is a Greek word better translated 'the essence of divinity' - the life that if a man would have he would live forever.
Having Zoë through Christ means life for your spirit, life for your soul and life for your body. It is the God-life, as distinguished from the human-life.
When this life takes up residence in your body, you became more than a man. The Bible says, "But we have these treasures in earthen vessels, that the excel lency of the power may be of God and not of us" (2 Corinthians 4:7). That power is in you. If you are born again happy are you, Christ has become your life. Eternal life has become your present-tense posses sion!
John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
This means such a person has been set aside. He should not perish. He has been branded for life. It is another way of saying to the devil, "Don't touch this one, he has been separated unto life." Praise God!
*Study from Chapter 6-9. We will be continuing from Chapter 10 in our next Service.
God has separated you unto life by giving you Zoë, don't live in death anymore. Don't live down, Zoë takes you up. Hallelujah!
