IS IT GOD'S WILL TO HEAL ME?

>Can we understand God’s Will to heal? 

The Bible calls those people who pine and guess about what the Will of God is “unwise.”


Ephesians 5:17

“…do not be unwise… understand what the will of the Lord is.”


✔  We should understand God’s Will concerning our health.

>Where does sickness come from?


James 1:17 NKJV

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.


Acts 10:38 NKJV in fact, it says clearly in Acts:

Jesus …went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil…


✔  Sickness, disease, and the like come from the devil; 

Healing, blessing, promotion come from God.

>What is God’s Will for us? 


Isaiah 53:4-5 AMP Isaiah said about Jesus that…

… He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God … 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole


>Peace – Hebrew: “Shalom”

Completeness, soundness, safety, health…

  The idea: “Nothing missing, nothing broken.”


>Healed – Hebrew: “Rapha”

Speaks specifically about physical healing


When you accept Christ, our “common salvation” boasts some really cool benefits:


Psalms 103:2-5 NKJV David writes…

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction…


1 Peter 2:24 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 stripes you were healed.”


✔  It is God’s Will to heal.
