In the context of the gift of healing, I believe that we are spiritually healed, through walking in the Spirit, and cultivating along with God, spiritually. The very meaning of 'walking in the Spirit' denotes that a person is sowing to the spiritual, though they still have a body. And I also believe that our fruit is in the Spirit, just as the fruit of the Spirit are mentioned in Galatians, and that along with this, our judgment of fruit, is to be in the Spirit, even though it might also contain ‘words.’ And I believe that this is the root of what Jesus was talking about concerning false prophets. Just as God also says that He creates the fruit of the lips. Not that we can’t have fruit in the physical, but walking in the Spirit means to have our foundation be in the Spirit, and with what is spiritual. In cultivating in God, we are sowing to the incorruptible, through His oneness. I believe that in being physically healed, that the Spirit is actually the One doing everything. And I believe this firstly because our flesh still has corruption in it, and therefore since our insides are incorruptible, it is easier for us ourselves to have more to do with the things that we can sow to in God, regarding what is spiritual. And perhaps one of the biggest factors, as to why people aren't healed more often, is that we can still sow in the physical to be physically healed, but it takes our spiritually sowing to prepare for that. And I believe this to be true, even though according to the world, there might not even be the ability to sow to what can’t be seen.
One major point, regarding miracles, is how Gabriel the angel treated Zacharias. Gabriel said that he stands before God, and hears His words. And Zacharias was told by Gabriel, that because he didn't believe Gabriel, he wouldn't be able to talk, until the Promise that Gabriel had spoken came to pass. As people desire certain things, and as they also come to God concerning His Promises, maybe not everyone who has unbelief will be dealt with as Zacharias was. Perhaps nothing will happen, except the lack of receiving the Promise. And yet at the same time, God may still deal with certain people, just as Gabriel dealt with Zacharias, and even in that, the specific things that happen, may not be so openly dramatic, like not being able to talk, as with what happened with Zacharias.
In viewing the two witnesses, we may be able to find the testimony regarding what Gabriel said, as he said that he stood before God. The book of Zechariah shows the two witnesses always being before God. And the symbolism, of the testimony of the two witnesses, gives the meaning of the two witnesses. Just as in being the bride of Christ, we are a vessel for Him, in both the female and male representations of the image of God. There is no longer female, or male, in being in Christ, as there is completion in Him, however, the testimonies of what female and male are, are found in how male and female were created in the image of God, and in how Christ is both the Son of God, and yet as the Bride of the Father, as He is a vessel for Him through the Holy Spirit. According to everyone's individual lives, the Promise in Jeremiah, “God doing a new thing: a woman encompassing a man,” gives detail into what it means to enter in. Just as we are saved and are sons of God, and also the bride of Christ. And therefore, just as we are pillars in His temple, and also a temple for Him, the testimonies of what female and male are completed in those who enter in. And the promise of a woman encompassing a man, involves the truth about how those who enter in, can no longer fall away, and thus they are ALWAYS a pillar in His temple, and are a temple for Him, which can never fall away. Along with this, the meaning of the Promise in Jeremiah, concerning “God doing a new thing: a woman shall encompass a man,” still includes eternal monogamous marriage in heaven for created beings, as we will have the testimonies of what is female and male, both. In this, as we presently have bodies that are either female OR male, before all is made new and we receive incorruptible bodies, we can still look into how with married couples, through oneness, just as Jesus spoke about Him in us, and us in Him, and us in the Father- each individual is the person that is male and or female, in the other, and even both, as there is oneness. Just as through the new birth, our insides contain us individually possessing both of the testimonies of what is male and female within ourselves, in Christ and God. Therefore, through the symbolism of the meaning of the two witnesses, those who are born again, are always before God. In this, we can also have more boldness to approach the throne of grace, and 'expect' to be able to receive from God, every Promise, even in the scope of the perfection that is inside of us through the new birth. This is true, just as everyone who came to Jesus, during His ministry, to be healed, was. Praise God!
One main way that unbelief manifests, is through causing us to walk according to what is corrupted in the world. Though we do still have bodies that have corruption in them, through the new birth, we can fully 'expect' to be able to receive every Promise in Christ, so that the fullness of what is inward may come into our mortal flesh. If we walk according to the Spirit, faith, and incorruption, we will be overcoming the corruption that is in the world, and our bodies still, and be saving what was lost, and receiving to even now have the physical inherit the spiritual fullness that is in Him and us. Unbelief causes people to become afraid of nothing. Just as the circumstances of the corrupted physical are already abiding in the kingdom of darkness, which already is victorious, apart from Christ and the incorruption in the Spirit. We have nothing to lose, in sowing to the incorruption in the Spirit, because the corruption in the physical is already unable to have what is truly divine in the Spirit, as in the context of needing healing, or something else. The fear that unbelief leads into, is for us to become afraid of not receiving from God, because of how we can not see the truth of what is divine in the Spirit of God, being present in what is physical, at least not yet, such as not being physically healed yet.
It is true, and a promise of God, that we have ALREADY been healed, according to the Spirit and incorruption, just as in Christ and incorruption, we have already had victory over the kingdom of darkness, through the foreknowledge of God, which exists everlastingly, and long before creation became corrupted. For Peter says that 'by His stripes, we HAVE been healed.' This healing, is foremostly our spiritual healing. The verse that Peter quoted comes from Isaiah, and it originally said "by His stripes we are healed," in the context of ability through promise, rather than the full physical possession of it being in the present tense. The physical healing can only come through our faith, and our faith is the possession of the spiritual knowledge of God, and thus our physical promises come after our spiritual ones. Though in foreknowledge, there is already the possession of both, through oneness.
In a book by Smith Wigglesworth, there was a story about a woman who had a goiter, and asked God to heal her. Afterwards, she said that the goiter was gone, but her friends still saw it. But she saw it as healed. Then after a little while, her friends also saw it as healed. There is a kind of faith, that believes against what is physically seen, though this woman was saying that she already saw it physically healed as well. I have found, that even though we are to not walk by sight, that when I can still see what is in the physical as to not having the Promise yet, that I can continue to sow in the Spirit concerning it. Meaning that I don't just try to convince myself that the physical has received His Promise, if I have not yet seen that it has. This isn't walking by sight, but I believe that it is actually a way to fully prepare the way, and examine myself, so that I do not begin to just believe in nothing, though I might be zealous for a Promise. And this is nearly the very context of what Paul was talking about, when he said that Israel had a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. Therefore I can believe in God, even concerning things that I do not yet see, but if I lack the spiritual knowledge of God, and it being an actual substance, and not just belief in ‘nothingness,’ I can continue to sow in the Spirit, and prepare the way, instead of just trying to merely say I believe. And I do not think the woman was crazy either, because things like this have happened throughout the Bible, though not the same exact circumstance.
When I look into the mirror, I see my face, and I don't see anything wrong with my nose. But when I look at pictures, I see my nose, as to being changed some, from how it used to be, through my use of Cocaine. I believe this is kind of the same thing that was happening with the woman I mentioned above. And along with this, when I was looking at pornography, after I received it from the friend I mentioned in my earlier chapters, not the first time, but a little while after, I was reading one of the articles about "Peyroine's Disease," curvature of the penis, and afterwards when I looked at myself, it was there, and it hadn't been before. I believe that the healing I am going to receive from God, even before all things are made new, as He again promised me this recently, may occur in the same kind of way, though I know the difference between just saying I am healed, and actually having the spiritual knowledge of God being believed, and the physical actually fully receiving the Promise. I have already said before that my Promises could be said to only happening after all things are new, though He has said I will receive them before that. As I mentioned above, sometimes I still believe in His Promises and the timing of them, but then I still also prepare the way and spiritually sow, according to what I do or do not see yet. And one major way that I justify doing this, is through knowing that when Moses enters into the Promised Land in the new heavens and new earth, that it is going to be just like what he would have had in the OT, if he had entered in then, but even better. God can do that, just as He gives time, coming out of Eternity.
*With the pornography, I wasn't saying, even to myself, that I was 'only looking at it for the articles.'
