God's will to heal
The Father nature of God longs for man to return to the security and simple faith of pure fellowship with Him, taking His Word as fact that can be fully trusted. In all things, our Heavenly Father can be trusted to honor His Word.
Every Christian has the potential to discover and possess, through the benefits of Calvary, all that Adam lost.
Christ The Healer!
Our earnest prayer is that we will learn and continue to appropriate the many blessings promised in the Bible. "We desire that every one of you...be followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises" (Heb 6:11-12
BEFORE PEOPLE CAN HAVE a steadfast faith for the healing of their body, all doubt or uncertainty concerning God's will to heal must be eradicated. You need to know what the Scriptures say, that it is God's will to heal the body as it is to heal the soul. It is important that the mind is renewed to bring it into harmony with the mind of God.
THE WORD IS THE SEED, Jesus said, "The Word is the seed." It is the seed of the divine life. Whosoever is seeking healing must be fully persuaded from God's Word that It is God's Will to heal!
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32 NKJV)
He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:20 NKJV)
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.” (Matthew 8:17 NKJV)
Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose [a]stripes you were healed. (1 Peter 2:24 NKJV)
THREE ESSENTIAL THINGS
This passage in Proverbs shows us the method of obtaining results from the promises in God's Word:
My son, give attention to my words;Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes;Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them,And health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22).
1. There must be the attentive ear. "Incline thine ear unto my sayings."
2. There must be the steadfast look. "Let them not depart from thine eyes."
3. There must be the enshrining heart. "Keep them in the midst of your heart."
When your eyes are upon your symptoms and your mind is occupied with them more than with God's Word, you have in the ground the wrong kind of seed for the harvest that you desire. You have in the ground seeds of doubt. You are trying to raise one kind of crop from another kind of seed. It is impossible to sow tares and reap wheat. Your symptoms may point you to death, but God's Word points you to life, and you cannot look in these opposite directions at the same time.
THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN
After you have planted your seed, you believe it is growing before you see it grow. This is faith that is "the evidence of things not seen." In Christ we have perfect evidence for faith. Only what God says will produce and increase faith.
He sent His Word and healed them, the Bible says, and delivered them from their death and destruction. It comes into you, and you see it, and then more comes. Let every Word be established in the mouth of two or three witnesses.
Acts 17 talks about what Paul did in synagogue after synagogue (the equivalent of a church in his day), and in place after place where people got together, to Jews and then believing Jews and Gentile Christians. In Acts 17:1-2, it says, “Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: And Paul, as his manner was,” meaning he did this all the time, it was his normal mode of operation, “went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the Scriptures.”
He reasoned with them out of the Scriptures. He gave them reason after reason, until people who were steeped in tradition that was contrary to the Word of God heard him Sabbath after Sabbath, and with so much revelation and so much Scripture, that they thought, “That’s right. I know we haven’t believed that all of our lives, but that is right.”
There are many reasons in the Word for us to believe that it’s God’s will for us to be healed, and we are going to go through them.
