Many churches today shy away from teaching the fullness of divine healing, even though it is woven throughout Scripture as part of our covenant inheritance. And so I often ask myself: Why is it easier for people—even believers—to accept a doctor’s report than to stand on what the Word of God declares?

The answer is sobering. From childhood, we have been conditioned to place unquestioned trust in medical authority. We are taught to believe a diagnosis simply because it comes stamped with a degree, a title, or a white coat. Our culture trains us to exalt human expertise above spiritual truth. But the Kingdom of God operates by a different standard.

Recently, someone expressed fear concerning my health. In that very moment, the Holy Spirit rose inside me like a mighty banner and said with unmistakable authority: “You do not come into alignment with this demonic contract.” That fear was not from God, and I refused to sign my name to anything authored by darkness.

People have said, “Darlene, you’re in denial.” And they’re absolutely right— I am in denial of anything that originates from Satan. I refuse to agree with the enemy’s narrative when God has already spoken a better word over my life.

The Word of God tells me plainly that by His stripes I am healed. The Word tells me that He is working all things together for my good. The Word tells me that He is my Deliverer. The Word tells me that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. Isaiah 54:17

I choose to believe the report of the Lord. I choose to anchor myself in His promises rather than in fear, speculation, or human limitation. Healing is not a fantasy—it is a covenant reality sealed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

This is why we must press in.

Press into prayer.

Press into thanksgiving.

Press into the declarations of faith that shift atmospheres and break chains.

We must decree what King Jesus has already spoken, not what the enemy whispers. Every law of the Kingdom, every promise of God, every healing word, every deliverance decree—all of it has been signed, sealed, and ratified in the blood of the Lamb. And when Heaven has signed it, no earthly report has the authority to override it.

He said to the woman with the issue of blood, “Your faith has made you whole” (Mark 5:34). Jesus also told the blind man in Matthew 9:29, “Be it unto you according to your faith.” Are our thoughts aligned with certainty? Will we thank God every day for our healing, or will we waver in our faith? God is not the problem; rather, it’s our mindset and how we use our words. When we complain instead of spending time praising Him for our healing, we give the devil a foothold. In the Gospel, we see a powerful interaction when Jesus tells the woman suffering from a bleeding condition, “Your faith has made you whole” (Mark 5:34). This moment highlights the profound impact faith can have on our lives. Similarly, in Matthew 9:29, Jesus addresses a blind man, affirming, “Be it unto you according to your faith.” These statements prompt us to reflect on our own beliefs: Are our thoughts and attitudes firmly aligned with a sense of certainty in God’s promises?

Each day presents an opportunity for us to express gratitude for our healing and well-being. We must ask ourselves whether we will actively choose to thank God every day for His blessings, or if we will allow doubt to creep in and lead us astray. It’s essential to recognize that God is not the source of our challenges; instead, the root of our difficulties often lies in our own thinking and the way we communicate.

When we focus on complaining or expressing negativity, we inadvertently open the door for the devil to influence our lives. Instead of indulging in complaints, we should dedicate ourselves to praising God for our healing and the good things in our lives. This shift in focus not only strengthens our faith but also reinforces our trust in God’s unwavering support and healing power. Embracing a positive mindset and using our words wisely can lead us to a more fulfilling and faith-filled life.
