Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. - Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)

God is doing a new thing throughout the earth. And He wants to do a new thing in our lives too. He wants to take all those places that have been barren. All those places that haven’t produced much fruit. All those places where we have been broken and abused. He wants to flood those areas with restoration, with healing. He wants to heal us.

God tells us in Isaiah 61:1, "The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;"

He wants to heal us. Not in heaven. Not in the someday. Not in the sweet by and by but here on Earth, in the land of the living.

"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven," (Matthew 6:10).

As it is in heaven. If there is no sickness in heaven, there shouldn’t be any here on earth. If there is healing in heaven, there should be healing here on earth.

It is always God’s will to heal.

David wrote in Psalm 103:2-3, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;"

Healeth all. Not some. All. It is not God who is preventing us from being healed. It is our religious, limited beliefs that keep us brokenhearted and keep us bound to sickness and disease.

If we want God to do a new thing in our lives, we are going to have to challenge what we belief in areas, such as healing, finances and prosperity. Is what we believe what the Word of God says? Or is it just what we’ve heard the pastors teach growing up?

We have to dust off our Bibles. We have to dig through the Scriptures. We need to get a clear picture of what God wants for our lives.

God says in III John 2, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

In order for us to be in health and wealth, our souls must prosper. The amount of wealth and health in our lives directly correlates to how much our souls are prospering.

The soul is our mind, will and emotions. How much are we prospering in our minds? In our wills? In our emotions? Are these things controlling us? Or are we controlling them?

We have to bring them under our control otherwise we allow the devil to play in the playground of our minds. We permit him to feed us lies, such as "You are a failure" and "God doesn’t love you." Then he jumps on our emotions and makes us feel insecure and worthless. And finally he manipulates our will, listing all the injustices that have been done to us.

God wants to heal what is broken in our lives, the damage that the devil has done to us. But we have to let Him.

We have to ask Him to heal us, to help us prosper in our souls. When we do, God comes in and does a new thing in our lives, just like He promised in Isaiah 43:19! He not only heals us, but He restores to us what the devil has stolen.

Remember what He promised in Joel 2:25: "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you."

He will restore to us what has been stolen! He doesn’t just heal. He restores. Isn’t that wonderful?
