Natural Methods

Jesus healed all who came to Him in faith for their healing. While most of the time He rebuked each spirit of infirmity, in some cases He used what we would call "natural methods". In Mark 7:33 and 8:23, he used His spit to assist in healing a blind man and a deaf man. In John 9:6, he used mud to help a blind man regain his sight.

God always meets us at our level of faith. He also gave us natural laws and guidelines to live in this physical world. If diet was not important, He wouldn't have given instructions for it. Asking God for wisdom in our specific situation is the most important thing (Proverbs 4:7), because everybody's journey is different. God might direct you to change your diet while someone else might be moved to attend a specific Word convention. Many times, it is a combination of many things because there is rarely one cause for our infirmities. Even though every seed for illness comes from the curse, activating the Blessing in our lives starts with the Word and as we take single steps forward in faith, God lights the next one and the next one and the path becomes clearer. Giving God something to work with starts with us taking natural, physical action as we are standing on the Word promise for that particular situation.

I have begun to explore the different healing oils used in the Bible. I will keep you posted on my progress and discoveries!
