The Son

As we follow Jesus through the Gospels, we find that He ministered healing in many different situations. His compassion for the sick was constantly evident. Healing was a large part of His ministry.

Mark 1:40-41 40 A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." 41Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" 42Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.

Matthew 9:35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.

Part of the Great Commission

Healing was an important part of the training and ministry of Jesus’ disciples and followers. Just as Jesus went about healing the sick, He commanded the 12 disciples to do the same. Matthew 10:1, 7,8 He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. 7As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

Commandment to us

Lay hands on the sick and ministering healing is part of the Great Commission that Jesus gave to all believers. John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey what I command. Mark 16:15-18 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."

Is it God’s will to heal the sick?

Satan comes against us and puts word of doubt in our minds and if we are not careful, we put that doubt to work. We see an illustration of such doubt in the leprous man when he said, “If You are willing.” Jesus cancelled the “if” by simply saying, “I am willing”.

Is it God’s will for me to be sick?

It’s God’s will above all things that we live in good health everyday. 3 John 2 (KJV) 2Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. If Jesus healed the sick, then it’s the will of the Father to heal the sick. Since it’s the will of the Father to heal the sick, then it’s the will of the Father to heal you!

Is Sickness Needed to Bring Death?

When God is ready to take us home, do we need to get sick to die? If it’s God’s will that we live in health everyday of our lives, why would He make it necessary that we get sick to die? Moses is a wonderful example! He died at 120 years old. His health was excellent. He climbed the mountain to meet God. He had lost none of his eyesight or natural strength. Deuteronomy 34:7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. When an older person is sick, it’s God’s will for them to be healed.

Source of Sickness

All sickness and disease are from the devil and not from God. Many are sick because they have given place to spirits of infirmity through sin, disobedience, or by ignoring principles of good health and nutrition. Ephesians 4:27 and do not give the devil a foothold. Using our restored authority, we can resist the devil, the spirit of infirmity, or the sickness that has come, and they will flee from us. James 4:7b Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Believers have authority to cast out the spirit of infirmity, and to heal all kinds of sickness and disease. Matthew 10:1 He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. The only thing the devil can do to us today is what we are letting him do. The question shouldn’t be, “Why is God letting this happens?” Instead it should be, “Why are we letting this happens?”

You have a choice to make.

Will I believe my traditions? Will I believe what God has spoken and revealed to my spirit?

I Am Healed Because God Says So!

“Sometimes I don’t feel healed – but I know that I am because I believe God’s message.” Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. We must receive what is rightfully ours by faith regardless of what we feel or see. We mustn’t let the unbelief of others steal our healing. Some ask, “Why, if it’s God’s will for all to be healed, aren’t all people healed?” or, “Why, if it’s God’s will for all to be saved, aren’t all people saved?” The answer to both questions is “They must believe”.

Apostles Believed

Mathew Believed: Matthew 8:16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases."

Peter Believed: 1 Peter 2: 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

I Believe

It’s clear for us to see from the Word:

· If we are healed according to 1 Peter 2:24

· If we are healed according to Isaiah 53:3

· Then I am healed!

All that’s necessary is to believe God’s report! Even if my traditions, religious leaders, the way I look, or the way I feel tells me differently!

· I must receive my healing by faith.

· I must begin to speak and act by faith!

· While my faith is building, I will actively release that faith, boldly begin to act out my faith, and receive my healing.

· Like the lame man, my symptoms will disappear, either progressively or instantly. I too, will be walking and leaping and praising God.

Will You Believe?

Now is the time to receive from God. You can receive the manifestation of your healing right now! Regardless of what our body feels, the Word of God declares, “By His stripes we are healed!”

Sinner’s Prayer

Dear heavenly father, thank you for sending Jesus to die for us. Now I believe that Jesus not only die for us but he raise from the death. He is now at the door of my heart. Jesus, I repent from my sin. Jesus, I open my heart door, come in so that I can be a whole new person. Jesus, I give you my whole heart and life to you. Thanks you, Jesus.
