The Blueprint of Divine Health

Jesus said He came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). God’s desire is not just that you survive, but that you thrive in body, soul, and spirit. The Word says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” (3 John 2). Think of this promise as more than an idea. It is an actual blueprint.

What is a Blueprint?
In construction, a blueprint is a technical drawing that guides builders. It shows the design, the measurements, and the materials so that the finished structure matches the architect’s plan. It helps everyone working on the project stay on track and it is the reference point when something goes wrong. Now think about your body in the same way. You are God’s temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Your anatomy, physiology, and the twelve systems of your body are like the systems in a building. God, the Master Architect, has a perfect design for your health and well-being.

What Happens When Sickness Comes?
I was recently praying concerning the health, restoration and well-being of a woman of God.  I heard "change order".  I asked the Lord, "What are you saying?" And then I was reminded that in construction, if something unexpected happens, a change order may be issued. A change order is a request to alter the original blueprint. It usually requires permits or approval. It changes costs, timelines, and even the stability of the project.

Spiritually, sickness is like a change order. The accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10) looks for legal grounds such as unforgiveness (Mark 11:25-26), generational sin (Exodus 20:5), poor stewardship of the body (1 Corinthians 3:16-17), or agreements with fear or lies. When he finds something that matches his character, he makes claims in the courts of heaven and requests permission to alter God’s blueprint for your health.

How Do We Respond?
When you experience health challenges, go back to the Master Builder. Ask in prayer, “Lord, have there been permits issued in the spirit for change orders against my health? If so, what grounds have allowed them?” Then repent, forgive, break agreements with lies, and renounce any generational sin. 

After clearing the legal ground, request restoration to the original blueprint of divine health and wholeness. This is what Jesus purchased on the cross. “He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses” (Matthew 8:17).
