The Nature of God Revealed - Carrie Pickett - Charis Daily - Season 1, Ep. 17

Main Ideas / Concepts Conveyed

• Understanding God’s nature is essential to healing

  • Healing is framed not only as receiving help from God, but as discovering who God is “in here” (within the believer).
  • This revelation is said to affect the person’s spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical life.

• Redemption / the cross is foundational

  • Healing is connected to redemption, especially the cross.
  • It is also tied to what occurs when a person is born again.

• What changes at salvation: spirit, not body

  • At being born again:
    • The person does not automatically receive a brand-new body
    • The person does not lose all memories
    • The person’s emotions and mental patterns do not instantly “evaporate”
  • “New” in 2 Corinthians 5:17 is explained as:
    • The believer becomes a new creation because Christ (spirit) lives inside them
    • Salvation is described as God making His dwelling place within the person

• Christ’s lordship and free will

  • Christ is presented as the full owner of the believer’s life after the believer invites Him in.
  • Believers still have free will, meaning they can:
    • Walk after the flesh (temptation, sin), or
    • Walk in the spirit through relationship with Christ and the Word

• Healing is spiritual and soul-level, not just physical

  • Sickness may “hit the body,” but it is described as targeting the soul:
    • thoughts, will, emotions, perspectives, future
  • The enemy’s strategy is described as dominating and corrupting thinking so a person walks after the flesh instead of the Spirit.

• God cannot give what He doesn’t possess

  • The teaching rejects the idea that God “gave sickness to teach you”:
    • God does not possess sickness, disease, or illness
    • Disease is framed as a result of sin and the Fall
  • Therefore, God is not portrayed as the source of disease; believers are taught to resist it.

• God’s promises and attributes are tied together

  • Healing promises are connected to God’s character:
    • If God is Jehovah Rapha (Lord God Healer), healing aligns with His nature
  • Every scriptural promise is described as reflecting God’s character.

• Jehovah Rapha and other “names of God”

  • God’s names/titles are presented as character revelations, including:
    • Jehovah Jireh (provider)
    • Jehovah Tsidkenu (righteousness)
    • Jehovah Shalom (peace)
    • Jehovah Shammah (always present)
    • Jehovah Nissi (banner)
    • Plus references like Elohim, Adonai, Emmanuel (God with us)
  • These are used to argue that believers should see God’s nature in Scripture to participate in God’s divine life.

• How healing works: “Healer within you”

  • Core emphasis:
    • When Christ lives in you, the Healer lives within you
    • The “conqueror/destroyer of sickness” is inside the believer
  • The mindset shifts from:
    • “I’m sick trying to get healed”
    • to “I am the healed one because the Healer lives in me”
  • Sickness is treated as something to be rejected/resisted, not passively accepted.

• Jesus’ nature is consistent

  • Jesus’ healing ministry is referenced to show Jesus’ nature is unchanged:
    • Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever
  • This supports the idea that Jesus’ healing nature applies to believers today.

• Examples of lived response

  • The teaching includes an example of speaking to children who feel sick:
    • “No room for sickness… the Healer lives in you… get out”
  • The takeaway: believers should speak and agree with what God’s nature says.

Key theme across the message: healing is approached through identity, revelation of God’s nature, and spiritual resistance to sickness.

Instructional / Methodology-Style Teaching

Revelation and mindset to adopt for healing

• Receive the core revelation

  • Understand healing through redemption/cross and what it means that Christ lives inside you (new creation reality)

• Shift location of faith

  • Move from thinking about God “out there” to knowing God’s nature is within the believer

• Practice walking by the Spirit (not the flesh)

  • Recognize that:
    • walking by the flesh does not “profit”
    • walking by the Spirit comes through relationship with Christ and the Word

• Connect healing to God’s character

  • When Scripture says healing belongs to you, treat it as coming from:
    • who God is (His attributes), not circumstances or religious explanations

• Reject the lie that sickness is “from God”

  • Do not accept claims such as:
    • “God gave sickness to teach you”
    • “This is just a consequence”
  • Instead:
    • affirm God cannot give what He does not possess
    • resist sickness as opposing God’s nature

• Use authority and resistance

  • Speak against sickness and symptoms because:
    • the believer’s identity is “new”
    • the enemy has no right to dictate identity or life
  • Model behavior: rebuke symptoms rather than agreeing with them

• Reframe identity

  • Say and believe:
    • “I am the healed” (because the Healer is within)
  • Therefore, you reject sickness rather than “trying to receive healing” as if God is far away

• Participate in divine nature

  • Through God’s promises (described as “great and precious promises”):
    • participate in divine nature, which then affects daily living and healing
