Correct healing
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

The correct healing begins when you have the strength to meditate on God’s Word and pray in your alone time. Even if you hear the most significant word, if you lack strength to hold on to it on your own, you will wander. You must be able to first enjoy the Word, prayer and evangelism on your own to enjoy answers next. How must you receive the correct healing to receive this answer?
1. Incorrect healing
In the world, when speaking of the Gospel or Jesus, there are incorrect healings that only emphasize mystical powers, good deeds, merits, social justice, morals, ethics, or the law (Matthew 16:13~15). It is seemingly correct on the outside, but this is exactly what religion and the law are. Therefore, Jesus gave the greatest blessing upon Peter’s confession that ‘Jesus is the Christ’ (Matthew 16:16). The Gospel and Christ are the most normal yet possess the greatest power, and it is a mystery that transcends all morals and ethics and laws. It is not proper to disregard your studies and careers to proclaim only Jesus. If you begin your walk of faith and work of healing swayed to one side, terrifying results will come.
2. Rapidly increasing illnesses
There are many illnesses that cannot be cured in the world. In particular, numerous people suffer from depression. A depressed person scars himself to the point that it is almost impossible to heal. Depression first inflicts a lot of pain which leads to mental problems, and in more serious cases, suicide or huge criminal actions. Another rapidly growing illness that is affecting the age is physical ailments such as cancer. Some people fall back to drugs, alcohol and gambling to solve their problems. These issues must be healed by the Gospel.
3. Correct healing
Between physical life, mental life and spiritual life, what must a man first be healed in? For correct healing, all three healings must take place together. The most accurate answer regarding healing is recorded in today’s passage (Galatians 2:20). When I am crucified with Christ, Christ lives in me, and I live in Christ, the true healing can take place. The proper healing will begin when the Gospel becomes most normal and realistic and is applied deeply.
- Changing your incorrect thoughts is the beginning of healing. Meditate on the incorrect thoughts you possess.
