He's supposed to be number one in your life. In other words, Jesus was saying not to have any other gods before Him. This is the first and great commandment (vv. Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. If you don't know this, it can cost you your life! When I tell people this, some say, "But, Brother Norvel, I love the Lord." That's not good enough! A lawyer came to Jesus one day and asked him, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? (Matt. Only after you worship and praise God, do you have a right to ask God to heal you or do anything else for you. Good gifts, perfect gifts are coming down from heaven, from the Father of lights to you. Glory to God! But right now I'm excited about the good things from heaven that we can enjoy in this life. And you can walk in on Sunday morning and hear Jesus preach! You think you're hearing good messages now, just wait until you get to heaven. It's a real world! When you walk around heaven, you can see rivers, gulfs, trees and mansions. Heaven is not a misty place out in the air, where a bunch of little spirits float around wondering who they are. There are no seasons in heaven-no dying, shivering or suffering. You think you've got beautiful flowers here? I've got news for you-in heaven, those beautiful flowers never die. The grass is about ten times greener there than it is on earth. There are no worms in the apples in heaven. I've been to heaven twice, and I can hardly wait to get there for the last time and forever. Not one weak day or one defeated moment has ever come to you from heaven. Not one heartache has ever come from God. That means God sends good and perfect gifts from heaven down to you.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. The Bible says all good things come down from the Father of lights to you. Know this once and for all: all bad things that come to visit you are from the devil-all bad things! They come from hell-not from heaven. You can receive miracles, and you can have authority over sickness and disease. Within ourselves and without Your name, Jesus, and without the Holy Spirit of God, we are nothing. And, Jesus, I give You the praise and glory for everything that's done, because we're a needy people and we need You. I claim his healing to be so in Jesus' name. He has a right to be healed because he has been born again. I command this person to be free from disease.
And in Jesus' name, Satan, I bind you and I command you to take your hands off God's property, this precious person. I claim Your healing and miracle-working power to flow from this book, like a river, into the body of the person reading it to drive out and destroy every disease. Just within myself I have no power to heal but Jesus, You do, and You live inside me.
You know, Jesus, that I'm not a healer-but You are. Heavenly Father, I come in Jesus' name on behalf of the precious person reading this book. Think about what God's Word can do for you while you're reading the following prayer. And the same principles taught here regarding disease can be applied to all critical cases-financial, emotional, social, spiritual or physical. In writing this book, I'm doing my best by God's power to drive out and to demolish every disease in every person who reads this book. He wants you to receive His miracle-working power and be totally free. Introduction God doesn't want you to have any diseases.
