Physical Healing - Is it in the Will of God?

(1/3) > >>

jong:
Isaiah 53
4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

While Jesus was on earth, He only did the will of the Father, and healed ALL who came to Him. Before He left, He also commissioned His disciples to heal the sick & preach the gospel to all nations. Isaiah, the greatest OT prophet, boldly claims healing IS in the atonement of Christ.

So, is our physical healing in Christ according to the Will of God? If so, what are the necessary conditions for the Will of God to manifest in the physical healing of disease?

Hi, the same OT prophet says that everything is in the will of God Isaiah 46 :10. I came to understand that healing may have different meaning than I thought, healing may also mean "salvation" then in that context we would say "by His stripes we got salvation" it may also mean to be made whole.It used to amaze me to think that it means  if you are in Christ you are healed and therefore will not be sick, but closely studying the ailments of Timothy and Paul, I got another understanding. Unbelief is a decease that needs to be, and at the right time all will be healed.Jesus said it is the deceased that needed the doctor.
Hope this helps a bit,be blessed.

Hi Jong,

God is sovereign and wherefore everything is according to His will and that's goes for those healed or not healed as well. Sometimes there is another purpose being worked out that we do not know about, that does not allow for a person to be healed.

Here is an email that might help with this.

When Jesus preached the Kingdom of God vast crowds of people came out to see and hear Him. Everywhere he went there were crowds following. One of the main reasons they did follow Him was that He healed thousands. Wherever He went the Scriptures tell us that He healed many. So clearly, God has healed many thousands of people.

Most people are more interested in whether God will heal them or not. People are looking for a magic formula that will guarantee their healing. We are instructed by James to call for the elders of the church to pray for healing. Not all are healed, however. In Paul's epistles we read of several ministers of the gospel who had health problems. Paul once told Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach's sake and his MANY ailments. I am sure Paul prayed for his healing, but he was not healed.

I have prayed for the sick and some where healed and others were not.  It is God's decision as to whether or not He will heal someone.  Sometimes there is a better purpose served in our not being healed.

Above all, DO PRAY, and do let your requests be made know to God with thanksgiving.   Praying for healing is not that much different from praying for anything. Sometimes God grants our desires and other times He does not.

I believe men like Benny Hinn to be charlatans. Many who have come up on stage professing their healing were shortly thereafter to be in the same state of disease or sickness as before.

Never stop praying just because all of your desires are not answered.  In due time God will reward us all.

Sincerely

Ray

I know God is sovereign, and everything is according to His will. But it is clearly stated in the OT and NT that God's will is Divine Health. It is an Abrahamic right for His children to be healthy until the day we die or until the Lord returns.

Even Jesus in the Lord's prayer called the Father's will in Heaven down into Earth  ..."Thy kingdom come, Thy Will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven"....There is NO sickness in Heaven.

And Jesus did not 'pray' for the sick, He cast out demons and commanded sickness and disease to leave! And ALL who came to Him in faith were healed!

Psalm 103. A Psalm of David.
 1 Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases...

I believe the only 'condition' God wants is for us to have "faith as a mustard seed" Luke 17:6). Mustard seeds figure prominently in one of Christ's parables. There must be a reason why ;)

Please read every word that Kat presented in Ray's email and believe them. Your contradiction is dangerous and spiritually unhealthy. Teaching your ideas is not allowed on the form.
