Spiritual And Physical Health - Charles S. Price
CHAPTER I — IT SHALL BE DONE
img2.jpg"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He IS, and that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him." (Heb. 11:6)
IF WE ARE seeking healing for the body, we will seek to PLEASE GOD, and the Scripture says that without faith it is impossible to please Him. But we cannot have this faith unless we experience the joy of His indwelling presence, for it is something more than an intellectual belief in God. It is the FAITH OF GOD; the faith which He imparts; the faith which radiates from His indwelling. It is the Son in us that pleases the Father. So many suffering ones focus their attention on the pain which they are suffering, rather than on their SOURCE of supply, and in so doing they hinder the healing flow of God.
Our need in time of sickness and suffering may seem to be very real and, indeed, it is. But it is no more real than the eternal fact of His illimitable supply! But my God shall supply ALL YOUR NEED according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
(Phil. 4:19) It is not in dealing with our sickness and our symptoms that we find the deliverance for which we hunger, but it is the recognition of the riches of His grace and the consciousness of His inexhaustible supply!
Our God has made the promise, "Behold I make all things new! He will PERFECT that concerning us and
to perfect means to bring it up to God’s standard and that standard is being COMPLETE IN CHRIST. Nothing less than that will do. It does not mean perfection in one’s self; but perfection in Christ. A sinful man, in himself, can never develop the nature of a Holy God. We do not become so pure and holy in self that we develop the Divine Nature! It is rather that the grace of the Lord Jesus has made it possible for Him to come to the least and the weakest of us and, if we are willing, we can become PARTAKERS of the Divine Nature! He gives it! He imparts it! It overflows our spirit; it saturates our personality; it goes over our lives like a mighty flood! So we should not look at ourselves nor our sicknesses but rather look at Him, His Health and His Virtue! Remember again the far-reaching extent of His promise,
My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus!" That is the standard by which every need of spirit, soul and body is supplied. There is no reservation there. There is no withholding. We do not have a need of body, soul or spirit but what that promise covers it and He who has so wonderfully promised is able to fulfill His promise in our obedient, surrendered lives!
There are those people who have BELIEVED GOD, although they have not seen Him, but have had entre through Jesus Christ. They have come up through the Door which the Saviour is. They have experienced that healing flow that He pours forth into the body of His believers. These believing ones have not waited for that time of seeing the awakening in His likeness
but, in the present, they have believed God! Whom having not seen we love! In whom though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory!
(I Pet. 1:8) These victorious spirits have pressed through the maze of this world’s affairs and the confusion of the flesh, until they are continually receiving that energizing, quickening power of God for spirit, soul and body! They are finding the Lord MORE THAN SUFFICIENT for every need of life. His presence permeates into every department of the entity which they are, and they not only experience the cleansing flow of Calvary, but their physical bodies are bathed in the gentle rays of the Divine Health which radiate from His indwelling like rays of the morning sun!
GOD IS FAITHFUL
The body may be continually attacked through the manifold results of the Fall, but God has promised to MAKE A WAY WHERE THERE IS NO WAY! There hath no temptation (testing) taken you but such as is common to man, but GOD IS FAITHFUL, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation, also make a WAY TO ESCAPE, that ye may be able to bear it.
(I Cor. 10:13) Let those words ring within your heart! HE IS FAITHFUL! HE IS FAITHFUL! He who has promised a way of escape will also provide that way of escape. We cannot manufacture it! He provides it and, in faith, we utilize that Divine provision. Faith laughs at impossibilities, and cries from the reality of knowing Him, "It shall be done! O, glorious oneness with the triune God! What blessing we receive, when having not seen, WE HAVE BELIEVED! And, believing, we press through symptoms, trials, pains and perplexities! Not because of any virtue from our self, but because we have believed Him! When we believe HIM, we have no confidence in the flesh. The more we behold His glorious ability, the more we are convinced of our inability! We cannot; but He can! No longer do we lean on self, but we LEAN ON HIM! No matter how dark the night, the redeemed spirit sings,
He is able! No matter how intense the suffering, we know that He is able! No matter how great the perplexity, we are assured that HE IS ABLE! We sing it triumphantly, victoriously, because we can do no other when we are conscious of His presence! Can darkness stand in the presence of the Light? When He is near, we are convinced that He is able to keep that which we have committed unto Him against that day.
For I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. (II Tim. 1:12) Sing in triumph through every adversity, perplexity and pain,
He is able," and we who love Him are so persuaded!
How enlightening are the words that Jesus spoke to the sufferers when He was here among men! Believest thou that I am able to do these things?
Our exultant spirits cry, Yes, Lord, Thou art able! Thou, and Thou alone!
Believest, thou, beloved, that these words are LIVING AND VITAL? Believest thou that GOD IS and that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him? It is not the reward that we receive at the end of this age. It is not waiting until some heaven opens up its gates to receive us. It is not in some far distant future to which we look through the windows of the promise, but it is HERE AND NOW! It is TODAY! God is not only the God of our tomorrows; He is the God of our todays. He DAILY loadeth us with benefits! Blessed be the Lord who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our Salvation!
(Ps. 68:19) He is the REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him! And the reward is not reserved for the future alone; it is imparted and infused here and now. Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts! Today, we should listen to the Divine pleading and give heed to the Divine call! Not as the fathers did when they hardened their hearts and refused to listen to the Voice that was calling them; but wandered around in an unnecessary wilderness for forty years! O, what grief we unnecessarily carry! O, what loads we bear! All because we do not realize that the things that we have been anticipating in our tomorrows, God, in His love and grace and mercy would impart to us today. Not only in the future, but in the here and now are we ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED and that acceptance embraces every needy part of us: body, soul and spirit.
FULNESS OF JOY
David in Psalm 16:8-11 says: "I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt show me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." There are; not will be. This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our FAITH! How wonderfully does the Spirit reveal the far reaching significance of those words: Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
As Christ was raised up by the quickening power of God and continually manifested to the incredulous world the glory and power and virtue invested in Him by the Father, so He is pleading with us, to DRAW NIGH, with full assurance, counting all things but loss that we might WIN CHRIST! Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water!
(Heb. 10:22)
In days of old the Master stood with outstretched arms and broken heart, crying to the people of Jerusalem who insisted upon going about their own, preconceived ways and following out their daily pursuits. They were burdened and they were heavy laden; they were sorrowful and sinful and sick in body and soul. They must have looked to Him like the majority of people in this war-torn, weary world look, on the streets of every city in which dwell men! From the depths of His innermost being, He cried, Come unto Me and I will give you rest!
That was the condition—that they come to Him! They were to find that rest in Him! How often would He have gathered them to Him, but they would not. He wanted them to abide under the shadow of the Almighty. He wanted to take their broken bodies and give them His strength and His healing. He wanted to take their sins and give them His salvation. He wanted to take their impurities and give them His holiness. He wanted to be ALL to them that they needed and He would have been, had they only listened to His plea and accepted His invitation of grace. He knew that all of them would be accepted by the Father in Him! But still they went their own willful and sinful ways! The way to God is THROUGH CHRIST and the way to Christ is through FAITH; and the way to faith is through SURRENDER of our will to God’s will. We draw near to God through the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant. Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you!
(James 4:8)
COMMITTING
We must not stumble because the answer does not always come our way. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.
Though sometimes He causes us to tarry for a little while, it is always for our good. It is for the development of those things in us that will cause us to draw near and closer to His precious, wounded side. He knows our frame; He understands our human frailities. He is fully conscious of the pain we bear, and the suffering we endure. He knows; for HE BORE IT IN HIS OWN BODY TO THE TREE! It pleases Him, when in spite of symptoms we trust Him, and in spite of the fact that the way may be, temporarily, dark, we have confidence that the light will shine through. The skies will be riven; the dark clouds will part asunder. God will vindicate His Word! The Son will manifest the answer to our prayers and work in us the fulfillment of His own promises. "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath GREAT RECOMPENCE OF REWARD. For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the
