The blessings in the Law of Moses were promised to those who obeyed God. The curses were promised to those who disobeyed God. It is an insult to God to expect him to remove curses and bestow blessings in your life if you are knowingly disobeying God. This disobedience could take two forms -- refusing to repent of sin that is declared as such by God's Word, or refusing to cooperate with the Holy Spirit's personal instructions for your life.

If you aren't willing to do what God tells you to do, regardless of "what others might think," you are in no position for healing. Some people in the Bible were healed only after they obeyed God's instructions.

In John 9:1-7, Jesus told the blind man to go and wash in the pool of Sent. If you were in his shoes and were sent to Sent, and you didn't go where you were sent, you would have missed out on your healing. The lepers in Luke 17:12-19 would most likely not have been healed had they not heeded Jesus' command to go and show themselves to the priests, which indicated that their healing would manifest while they went. Naaman the Syrian almost missed his blessing when Elisha did not meet him in person and instead sent instructions to wash in the Jordan River seven times. When he obeyed, he got healed. Had he not obeyed, he would not have been healed.


The Bible never promises healing to the willfully disobedient. It actually promises sickness to such people. Make sure that you are willing to obey God no matter what he asks you to do -- not just in the things that you wanted to do anyway.
