There are so many debates about healing.
Some say it is for today others say it’s not for today. Yet others say if God
wants to heal me He can but I’m not going to pursue it. What is God’s will for
healing today?
One of the most misunderstood concepts
from the Bible is that God made people sick or even worse, He killed them. When
you read the Old Testament saying something like that the original translation
conveys the message “God allowed”
people to be sick or be killed. There are many instances when God removed His
Hand of protection and people came under heavy fire. King Saul was a great
example of this.
The Bible says that Jesus went about
doing good, healing all manners of sicknesses. It helps me to ascertain everything
good comes from God. I’m not talking about dealing with our flesh but a
theological concept that God cannot dish out anything bad. Like in Job’s case,
He allows certain things to happen but when we’re following our Lord faithfully,
He protects us and favors us with divine health.
If we’re going to be in health and
free from our sicknesses we have to be absolutely convinced that it is God’s
will for us to be healed. The Bible says a double minded person receives
nothing from the Lord. I submit that you take off your denominational glasses
and read the Gospels and the New Testament with an open mind. Everywhere Jesus
went people gathered to Him for healing and He healed them. Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday, today and forever. That’s why today, all around the world
people are still receiving their supernatural healings.
In one story in the Bible, the
religious leaders of the day questioned a young man how he was healed on a
Sabbath day. They wanted to trap Jesus. They wanted to uphold the Law. Today,
you may hear different opinions of man. But one thing I will assure you, Jesus
will heal you any day of the week! The blind man replied, “Listen guys, I do not know the answers to all your questions but I can
tell you this – once I was blind and now I can see.” What a testimony of
God’s heart for healing! If you want to be healed, don’t try to figure out who,
how and when. Simply yield to God’s will and say, “Lord, I receive my healing. Thank you!”
A lot of emphasis has been put on
faith as the basis for our healing. While I believe that we must have faith to
receive anything from God, I also know that God acts sovereignly to heal people
as well. The man at the pool of Bethesda is one example of such divine healing.
The Bible says that he waited for his healing for thirty eight years! One day
Jesus showed up and asked the man with the withered hand, “Do you want to be
healed?” Understand that this man has been waiting for a long time. His faith
had worn out. In modern terms you can say, he’d been prayed for by the pastor,
evangelist and been to the healing crusades. You may have done the same. But
thank God for his mercy. In spite of his lack of faith, Jesus looked at that
man and said, “Get up and walk.”
Friend, I believe today God is telling us to “get up” on the inside of our spirit. See yourself “walking” and then take corresponding
actions to manifest your healing. Jesus is still the greatest Physician and He
still heals today. Not only does He heal our physical sickness but He heals
every emotional, mental and psychological illness. He will heal your marriage,
business and a sinning heart. Jesus will heal every part that hurts. Why don’t
you receive His free gift of healing today? I’m praying for you today!
“Jesus went throughout Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and
healing every disease and sickness among the people” (Matthew 4:23 NIV).
