But many times, even equipped with that knowledge and conviction, we can find ourselves wondering why we aren’t healed.   While some healing seems to happen quickly, other times we can be perplexed and discouraged.   
Therefore submit to the Lord.   Resist the devil and he will flee from you.   James 4:7

The “submitting” to His will can be easy.   It is the “resisting” that can be challenging.   If you have a dog that isn’t allowed on the couch, but you find him on the couch, how many times do you tell him to get off?   As many times as it takes!   

Resisting sickness can be like that.   How many times should I speak to my “mountain”?   Until it is gone.   Some things in the kingdom must be enforced, and we are the ones who must enforce the Lord’s will.   

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in the Lord for pulling down strongholds...    2 Cor 10:4-5.    Sometimes the strongholds are sicknesses.   “Pulling down” sicknesses can require an attitude of violent faith.   

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” Mat 11:12

I have become much more proactive in my approach to health.   I now speak to my body and different parts of my body on a daily basis.   I declare health and healing, and I resist and curse any sickness that is trying to come against me.   just knowing the truth of healing isn’t always enough.   We must be “enforcers” of the Lord’s will.   

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jer 23:29

Some issues require one blow from the hammer of the Word.   Others may require repeated blows and even a “violence that takes it by force.” death and life are in the power of the tongue Prov 18:21.   

Start enforcing your health and don’t let up.   speak death to sickness and life to your body.   Don’t become passive.   In the light of this context, consider Proverbs 24:30-34 .
