Healing Series-Session 3-Gods Will is to Heal (Audio)

Faith begins where the will of God is known.

I am the LORD who heals you. Exodus 15:26. God wants you well.

The greatest barrier to the faith of many seeking bodily healing is the uncertainty in their minds as to whether it is the will of God to heal all who come to Him. Nearly everyone knows that God does heal some, but there is much in modern theology that keeps people from knowing what the Bible clearly teaches - that healing is provided for all. It is impossible to boldly claim by faith a blessing that we are not sure God offers. The power of God can be claimed only where the will of God is known.

If it is God’s will to heal only some of those who need healing, then none have any basis for faith, unless they have a special revelation that they are among the favoured ones.

Faith must rest on the will of God alone not on our desires or wishes.

Real faith is not believing that God can but that God will heal/has healed.

The Bible clearly teaches that if you are sick God wants to heal you.

Many recognize that God does heal, but they have no personal knowledge of Jesus as the Saviour of the body.

They see that others are healed, but question whether healing is God’s will for them and appear to be waiting for a special revelation of the will of God concerning their case.

God does not need to give any special revelation of His will when He has plainly revealed His will in His Word.

Until you are fully convinced that God wants you to be well, there will always be a doubt in your mind as to whether or not you will be healed.

As long as there is doubt in your mind, perfect faith cannot exist.

James 1:6-7 says let them ask in faith, nothing wavering. For they that waver are like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not those think they shall receive any thing of the Lord.

T.L.Osborne in his book Healing the Sick says “Once people are fully convinced that God wants to heal them and that it is not God’s will for them to be sick, they almost always receive healing when prayed for, if not before.”

Knowing God’s will concerning sickness provides the ground on which perfect faith can act.

With positive knowledge of the will of God, we do not pray: “Lord, heal me if it be Your will.” That implies doubt, and doubt cancels faith.

Our Father has promised us healing and He always keeps His promises.

Faith that takes hold of God’s promise rests on the knowledge of His will. His known will is the basis of our faith.

The scriptures clearly make known God’s will to heal whoever comes to Him in faith. This is His will.
