Today's Bible Lesson
DOES GOD HEAL TODAY?
Jesus told us to pray in Luke 11:2
"Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth"
Well there is no sickness in Heaven !!!
Also I would like to point out that in the 4 Gospels of the Bible
not in one place did Jesus ever put sickness on someone or
tell them that by being sick and suffering they were becoming
more Godlike or holy.
Just the opposite Jesus in John 10:10 said:
The thief comes to STEAL, KILL & DESTROY I am come that they
might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
*****************
in John 3:2 it says "Beloved, I wish above all things that you
may prosper and be in health , even as your soul prospers"
**************
In another Bible study I will show you many more scriptures
in both the old and new testament that it is God's good will
and pleasure to heal you.
In this study we are going to discover
ways to get healed
*********************
If one studies the healing ministry of Jesus Christ in the Gospels,
a recurring pattern emerges
Again and again, Jesus looked to see if the sick person was
showing faith to be healed, as in the scripture below:
Matthew 9:28-30
"When he had gone indoors, the blind men
came to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am
able to do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied. Then he
touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith
will it be done to you and their sight was restored.
Healing is "according to your faith."
Jesus had all the faith and healing power necessary, even to
heal blindness. There were no questions, no doubts, in His mind
about His ability to heal these two blind men.
No, the variable was not Christ's faith, but the faith of
the men desiring to be healed. And when Jesus had
determined that they did indeed have faith in His healing power,
He cured them of their blindness.
****************
This same pattern is seen in the ministry of the apostle
Paul to a crippled man in the heathen city of Lystra.
The lame man was listening to Paul preaching the
Gospel. During this sermon,
"Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be
healed and called out, 'Stand up on your feet!' At that,
the man jumped up and began to walk"
Acts 14:8-10
Did the apostle Paul have the "gifts of healing" ? Apparently so.
But the healing did not occur until the lame man
himself "had faith to be healed."
Therefore, it is urgent that we grow in
faith to be healed.
Jesus' apostles understood the
importance of this.
Luke 17:5
The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!""
********************
That is my desire in the comments that follow.
Specifically, to share Scriptures that will enable us to grow in faith
to receive divine healing from the Lord.
**************
Romans 10:17
"So then faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God".
Faith comes by hearing God's Word.
We should study God's Word on the
subject of healing.
Use a good concordance, and look up every Bible
verse that speaks of healing.
Read classic books on healing, such as
T.L. Osborne's "Healing the Sick".
Ask your pastor to recommend audio tapes on the subject
taught by those whom God has used in healing the sick.
If your church says healing is not for today,
you may want to find another church
In sum, fill your heart with what God's Word, the Bible,
says about His desire to heal our sick bodies.
And as you do that, you will find yourself steadily growing in
faith to receive healing from the Lord.
***********
Matthew 9:28-30
"When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him,
and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"
"Yes, Lord," they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said,
"According to your faith will it be done to you"
and their sight was restored".
*****************
Please note that
2) Jesus said to the blind men,
"Do you believe that I am able...?"
We grow in faith as we focus on
JESUS the Healer.
Acts 9:34 records the apostle Peter ministering healing to a
lame man. He simply said to the paralytic,
"Aeneas,... Jesus Christ heals you."
Peter used no fancy words. He didn't need
to "hype" the man's emotions.
He simply directed the man's focus upon Jesus.
Peter was convinced, as we
should be, that Jesus heals!
********************
Mark 5:28-30
" she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed."
Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body
that she was freed from her suffering.
At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from Him.
He turned around in the crowd and asked,
"Who touched my clothes?"
Luke 6:19 says
"power was coming from Him and healing them ALL."
Please note emphasis on ALL
Think about Jesus' power flowing out to you.
I don't mean some kind of mental gymnastics, nor any
form of mind-over-matter.
Jesus' power to heal is real power, so real that Jesus sensed
the flow of that healing power from Him.
Consider Jesus, ponder His great power, and by faith
see it flowing from Him to you, and you will find yourself growing
in faith to receive a very real touch of healing from the Lord.
**********************
Matthew 8:2-3
"A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said,
Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing,"
he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.
"I am willing," Jesus said. Let His own
words establish the fact that it is
Christ's will to heal!
Don't come apologetically to
Jesus for healing.
No! Come to Him knowing that His expressly stated
intention concerning healing is: "I am willing!"
And don't pray the leper's prayer
"Lord, if you are willing"
Jesus replied by revealing the intent of His heart
concerning the healing of the sick
"I am willing."
Confess that promise from Jesus regularly
"I am willing!"
and watch your faith for healing grow!
*********************
Psalms 103:2-3 says
"Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits
who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases".
Faith for healing grows as we realize that Jesus has
provided a package of salvation
both the forgiveness of our sins and the
healing of our diseases.
Too many Christians, sadly, have
"forgotten all his benefits."
One of those great salvation benefits
is the forgiveness of our sins.
Another, not to be forgotten or ignored
is the healing of our sicknesses.
The Word of the Lord tells us,
"Don't forget this!"
*******************
1 Peter 2:24 says
"by his wounds you have been healed".
Faith for divine healing grows as we
remember that from God's standpoint,
healing is already DONE .
"You have been healed."
**********
Consider Matthew 8:16-17
Jesus "healed all the sick". This was to fulfill what was
spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our
infirmities and carried our diseases."
Notice the verb tenses that
Peter and Matthew use:
"you have been healed"
"He took up our infirmities and
carried our diseases."
Just as Jesus has already borne our sins, likewise
He has already taken and carried our sicknesses. That means
you don't have to carry them any longer!
******************
Matthew 4:23-24 says
"Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,
preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing
every disease and sickness among the people".
News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought
to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering
severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures,
and the paralyzed, and he healed them.
Jesus's will to heal includes YOUR sickness! He healed
"every disease and sickness."
And His intent to heal includes your pain, even severe pain.
If you have cancer, leukemia, or any other debilitating disease,
it is included among the "every disease and sickness"
that Jesus is pleased to heal.
*******************
We have looked at seven Scriptural ways to increase your
faith for spiritual healing:
1) Remember that faith comes by
hearing God's Word.
2) Focus on Jesus the Healer.
3) Consider Jesus' great power to heal, and allow yourself
to "see" it flowing out to you, as it did to the woman
with the issue of blood.
4) Remember Christ's words to the man who was
uncertain about Jesus' will to heal:
he said "I am willing."
5) Don't forget the salvation benefits of forgiveness
of sins and healing of sickness.
6) Remember that Jesus
"took up our infirmities and
carried our diseases."
Don't you carry them a minute longer!
7) Any affliction you have can be healed - Jesus healed
"every disease and sickness."
And thankfully, "Jesus Christ is the SAME
yesterday and TODAY and forever"
(Hebrews 13:8).
******************
Jesus healed His people 20 centuries ago,
and He is still the same, He will heal you today!
