HEALING FOR ELDERLY CHRISTIANS*
BY DON GOSSETT
Boldly Confess These Seven Facts
FIRST: I know that "God is no respecter of persons" Acts
SECOND: I am glad that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" Heb. 13:8. The same Lord who has healed my body in the past is my Healer today! He will never, never leave me, nor forsake me.
THIRD: As my days are, so shall be my strength! I may not be as strong at 80 as I was at 18, but for my days I have sufficient strength, healing and health!
FOURTH: "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy Name. Bless the Lord, Who forgiveth all mine iniquities, Who healeth all my diseases" Ps 103:1.3. This includes me! Even in advanced years, the LORD healeth all my diseases!
FIFTH: I do not have to live out my life, suffering with a pain‑wracked body. I can continue to enjoy healing and health, until it comes time for the Lord to call me home to Heaven. Like Jacob, I can just "depart to be with the Lord."
SIXTH: Until then, I am boldly taking my privileges in Christ. Jesus did not say, "Lay hands on the young sick ones, and they shall be healed." Nor did He say, "All things are possible to them that believe, unless they are past sixty!" Jesus' wonderful "blanket promise" for healing contains no age restrictions.
SEVENTH: I take my healing from Christ by: Rebuking the adversary who is the oppressor (Acts 10:38); confessing joyfully, "By His stripes I am healed;" praising the Lord for the gifts of healing set in the church for my benefit (1 Cor. 12); and acting like God is keeping His Word with me, by "doing His Word."
