The benefits of walking in love, which include health and healing, are so good, I want you to get in on them.

The Bible encourages us to make the love of God our great aim and our great quest in life (1 Cor. 13:1 Amp.). There must be a reason God wants walking in the God-kind of love to be a priority in our lives. Actually, there are wonderful benefits and good results that come when we walk in love.

For example, I have walked in divine health for more than fifty-seven years. The last headache I had was in August 1933. Well, it's too late to start having headaches now! I'm not bragging on me; I'm bragging on Jesus and on His Word.

Now don't misunderstand me. I've passed up some marvelous opportunities. The last headache I can remember that tried to attach itself to me was in 1977. I had just pulled out into the street from our offices at RHEMA.

Suddenly my head started hurting. I said, "No, you don't, Satan! You have to leave in Jesus' Name." By the time I turned the corner, it was gone. That's the last time I can even remember passing up an opportunity to have a headache.

In all these years, I've never been sick unless I've missed it somewhere, either in the love walk or in obedience to God. Every step out of love is sin. Every single time I missed it, I repented just as fast as I could and got back into love and obedience.

Normally, the minute I repented, I was healed. I don't mean I had to wait several days for the symptoms to clear up. I was either immediately healed or well on the way to recovery.

For more than sixty years in the ministry, I have said that if my faith didn't work and my prayers weren't answered, unforgiveness is the first place I would look. I'm not saying that all sickness and disease is caused by unforgiveness. I'm just saying that's the first place I would look.

Now don't misunderstand me at all. If folks need medicine, they should take medicine — under a doctor's supervision, of course. In fact, I've sent some folks to a doctor when they needed it and even bought them medicine. And if I needed an aspirin, I'd take it if I couldn't get healed any other way.

But, you see, the benefits of walking in love are so good, I want you to get in on them. The benefits include health and healing. The best time to get in on it is while you're young, so you can enjoy the blessings and the benefits of walking in the God-kind of love all the rest of your life.

I'm very careful about walking in love. Love is God's way to prosper - spirit, soul, and body. Walking in the God-kind of love is the way to prosper in every area of life. Love worketh what? Love worketh no ill to his neighbor. That means to anyone. And that should be especially true among Christians.
