Impossible Healings: Proclaim Health

He said to me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?'

So I answered, 'O Lord God, You know.'

Again He said to me, 'Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the Word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: 'Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.'

Ezekiel 37:3-6 (NKJV)

In my decades of scouting new talent, I traveled (by air) continually. As fellow frequent fliers realize, the tubes called planes circulate viruses.

Inevitably, I caught some of them. Sometimes I pushed through. Sometimes, I didn’t, focusing on my various ailments.

Once, I got a Holy Spirit message, and it began with two words: 'Proclaim Health.'

  • Maybe because we serve a wondrous God, Who 'Calls those things which do not exist as though they did' (Romans 4:17).

  • Maybe because we’re called to follow him,

  • And maybe I should stop saying maybe!

Here's what God said to me: (I wrote it down.)

'Proclaim health. I have given it to you and your house in abundance. Take possession of it. Do not disown it by your mouth. It is yours to enjoy. When pests come, ignore them or destroy them, but do not dwell upon them. Neither make a place for them. If you become preoccupied with them, they will multiply--and your gift will become weed-ridden at best… and stolen at worst.'

Actors, models, and talent for Christ: you are my house. You are my priceless kin, and we dwell together on this journey through the mission fields of entertainment.

God gives us health and God gives us healing! Let’s speak it and take possession of it.

'Therefore understand today that the Lord your God is He Who goes over before you as a consuming Fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you; so you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has said to you' (Deuteronomy 9:3).

Them? Pests of illness. I call them demons. Only their healing is impossible. By the Word of God: NOT yours and NOT mine.

As for me and my house, WE PROCLAIM LIFE!

Impossible Healings: Proclaim Health (Part 17, Conclusion)

NOTE: This is a 2023 update of a 2013 Carey Lewis Devotion. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players. Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
