Healing - Is It Always God's Will to Heal?

It seems clear, in scripture, that God's will was ALWAYS to heal the
individual. It was always His will that people live in health. The
following verses make it clear that Jesus never refused to heal anyone. The
answer was never "No."

· (Matthew 4:23-24) - "healing ALL manner of sickness and ALL manner of
disease among the people."

· (Matthew 9:35) - "healing EVERY sickness and EVERY disease among the
people."

· (Matthew 12:15) - "he healed them ALL."

· (Matthew 14:14) - "he healed their sick."

· (Matthew 14:35-36) - "They brought unto him ALL that were diseased...as
many as touched were made perfectly whole."

· (Matthew 15:30) - "And great multitudes came unto him...and he healed
them."

· (Matthew 19:2) - "great multitudes followed him; and he healed them."

· (Matthew 21:14) - "the blind and the lame came to him...and he healed
them."

· (Mark 6:56) - "as many as touched him were made whole."

· (Luke 4:40) - "they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them
unto him; and he laid his hands on EVERY ONE of them, and healed them."

· (Luke 5:15) - "great multitudes came together...to be healed by him of
their infirmities."

· (Luke 6:19) - "there went virtue out of him, and healed them ALL."

· (Luke 9:11) - "healed them that had need of healing."

The twelve disciples of Jesus were commanded to heal:

· (Mark 3:14-15) - "he ordained twelve...that he might send them forth to
preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses."

· (Matthew 10:1) - "when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he
gave them power...to heal ALL manner of sickness and ALL manner of
disease."

· (Luke 9:1-2) - "he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them
power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them
to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick."

And they did:

· (Acts 5:12,16) - "And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and
wonders...there came also a multitude out of the cities...bringing sick
folks...and they were healed EVERY ONE."

And Paul did:

· (Acts 28:8-9) - "..Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on
him, and healed him...others also, which had diseases...came, and were
healed."

Another seventy disciples were commanded to heal:

· (Luke 10:1,9) - "the Lord appointed another seventy also, and sent them
two and two...said he unto them...heal the sick."

All "that believe" are commanded to heal:

· (Mark 16:17-18) - "these signs shall follow them that believe...they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

(John 17:18) - As Jesus was sent, so sent he his disciples, "As thou hast
sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them." 

Is it always God's will to heal? It appears that the answer to that
question is a resounding "Yes!". In (Mathew 8:2-3), there was a leper that
wasn't quite sure, "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean", he said. Jesus
quickly set the leper straight, "I will; be thou clean". His answer to us
is the same as to that leper, "I will". 

Jesus even taught us to pray that:  (Matthew 6:10) - "Thy will be done on
earth, as it is in heaven."  Jesus said that he came to do the will of
God,(John 6:38) - "I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but
the will of him that sent me." Since he healed everyone that asked and
never refused any request for healing, one can conclude that it is God's
will that all be healed and none be refused. 

So, is it God's will that you be healed or has He told you "No"? Let's
put it this way, suppose Jesus came down from Heaven and walked the streets
of your city, and you went to him requesting to be healed. If he were to
tell you, "No!", you would be the first person in recorded history to
receive that response. So, stop saying that it isn't God's will to heal
you. 

(2 Corinthians 1:20) - "For no matter how many promises God has made,
they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to
the glory of God."
