Scriptural Proof of God’s will to Heal everyone.
 
Read Part One first.

Acknowledgement: The author is indebted to the inspirational writings of Dr.
T.L. Osborn, E.W. Kenyon and F.F. Bosworth that provide a wealth of
Scriptural revelation on Christ's redemption, and were essential in the
compilation of this article.

Even if a thousand unbelieving preachers teach it may not be God's will to
heal you, remember God's Healing Covenant, it includes you.

Exodus 15:26 NIV I am the Lord who heals you. Holy Bible,

When you have faith in God's promises, you can be healed and remain healthy.
If you check the Scriptures, and accept the clear facts, you will repent of
unbelief in Divine healing. You will accept the Gospel fact that healing is
always included in your salvation.

This is a Gospel basic, the linchpin of the healing ministry.
The concept that healing is distinct from salvation is false.

 One of the reasons the Life of Jesus Christ is imparted to believers, is to
heal their bodies.
Separating healing from salvation is unbiblical and wrong. You cannot
separate the Saviour from the Healer. Christ is always both at the same time!
By receiving Christ, you receive the Saviour-Healer.

Since He is able and wants to give you everlasting life, He is surely willing
and able to heal you physically.

Religious programming veils this obvious Bible truth.

Healing the Sick.
Over a million copies printed and thousands have been healed by acting on
the Truth clearly presented in this classic Christian book. It is simply essential.

Five Scriptural proofs it is God's will to heal all.

These Scriptural facts are the keys to the healing ministry. Unless ministers
believe and proclaim these five basic truths, they will never be effective in
ministering Christ's healing.

Why do believers fall ill today? Simple lack of knowledge of the true Gospel.
Why do they chase after doctors, and buy New-Age foods deceptively sold by
snake-oil salesmen as 'Christian diets'?

Because their confidence is in man, or the occult, instead of the Word of God.
You can be healed by Christ right now simply though believing and acting on
these Gospel healing basics.

But let's discover if you are prejudiced against the miraculous, or against
Divine Healing.

If, after studying this article and God's Word, you become convinced that
healing is for all, will you repent? Will you change your ideas, beliefs, and
teaching on the subject?

If you accept the following five Scriptural proofs that healing is for
everyone, would you be glad about such good news. Would you share this Gospel
fact in your evangelizing, as Christ commands?

If you answer yes, then ask Jesus to give you revelation of His will, and His
Word, and read the rest of this life-changing article.
 
Scriptural Proof 1: God's Healing Covenant.
Exodus 15:26 is God's contract of healing. I am the Lord who heals you.

This contract is for all, including you.

All the blessings given to Israel come to everyone who receives Christ as Lord and Saviour. See Eph. 3:6, 2:11-22, 2 Co. 1:20-22

In this brief declaration, God answers three central questions on healing.
1. Is God a Healer? Yes. I am the Lord who heals you.

2. Whom will God heal? All, you. God makes no exceptions. I am the Lord who
heals you.
Even though a thousand unbelieving preachers may teach it may not be God's
will to heal you, remember God's Healing Covenant... it includes you!

God makes no exceptions, so why should you exclude yourself?

3. When will God heal? I AM the Lord who heals you.

That's present-continuous tense, in other words... Right now because He is
the right now God. Alleluia!

 

Doubters say, 'In God's time He may heal you', but remember God's healing covenant. I AM the Lord who heals you.

It grieves the Holy Spirit when unbelieving theologians tell folks to suffer
patiently waiting to see if God will heal them. He said in effect, I AM your
Physician. Now and for all time.

There are many promises of healing in the Holy Bible, but Exodus 15:26 is
God's Covenant, His contract of healing.

A covenant is more than a promise isn't it? And His Covenant is for all that
trust in Jesus to save them.

 Scriptural Proof 2: Christ's Atonement.

The prophet Isaiah spoke of Christ's perfect atonement for everybody's sins,
pains, sicknesses, and diseases in the monumental Chapter 53, that declares;
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows. Isaiah 53:4

The Holy Spirit through Matthew expresses the same Gospel fact.
He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases. Mtt. 8:17

Isaiah summarises the atonement;
By his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

God could not have used the words our pains, our diseases, our infirmities,
we are healed if anyone was excluded, could He?

Healing is for all because God includes everyone who trusts in Christ's
atonement. Your lack of faith in God's Word will exclude you, but God doesn't.

David knew and proclaimed that God forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.
Praise the Lord O my soul and forget not all his benefits. Who forgives all
your sins and heals all your diseases. Psalm 103:3
That includes you if you believe God's Word. For a believer to exclude
himself, he'd have to be blind to the clear meaning of this Scripture.

Peter also excludes no believer;
By his wounds you have been healed. 1 Pe. 2:24

Physical healing for all believers is included in Christ's atonement.
God the Father says so, God the Holy Spirit says so, God the Word says so,

Isaiah says so, David says so, Matthew says so, Peter, and others say so.

Seven Holy Bible witnesses unreservedly declare this Gospel fact. Do you?

 Scriptural Proof 3: Christ's Ministry.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Heb. 13: 8
Jesus hasn't changed. He healed all that came to Him believing in His
ministry. He refused, no one, and He will refuse no one today who puts their
whole trust in Him.
Many followed him, and he healed all their sick. Mtt. 12:15 All who touched
him were healed. Mtt. 14:36 The people all tried to touch him because power
was coming from him and healing them all. Lk. 6:19

Beloved, He's lost none of His power to heal. Reach out and touch Him in
faith. He excludes no one.
When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. Mtt. 8:16

When the sun was setting, the people brought to Jesus all who had various
kinds of sickness, and laying hands on each, he healed them. Lk. 4:40

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he
went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the Devil,
because the Lord was with him. Acts 10:38

Physical healing was for all in Bible days under Christ's ministry, and Christ the Healer has never changed.

Scriptural Proof 4: Christ's Commission.

In Mark 16:15-18 Jesus told His disciples to:
Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever
believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be
condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they
will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.

He mentioned no exceptions. He didn't qualify His command by saying. "They'll
get well... unless it is my will that they suffer gracefully". Or "They will get well, unless I put this sickness on them to teach them something."
No! He promised, They will get well. That is for you and for everyone who is sick.

Healing is part of the Gospel we are commanded to preach to every creature in
all the world. God would not tell us to do this if it were not also His will for everyone to receive all the benefits of that message.

In His Commission Christ promised; Whoever believes... will be saved.

Does that apply to all sinners who believe? Of course it does.

Similarly, They will place their hands on the sick, and they will get well. v 18.

This applies to all that suffer physical sickness. Christ makes no exceptions in either case. Forgiveness and healing are for whoever believes.
Why exclude yourself when God doesn't exclude you?

 Scriptural Proof 5: The Early Church's Example.

The Early Church believed in miracles, and prayed for them. They expected
miracles for everyone who believed, and as they believed, so it was done.
Crowds gathered... bringing their sick and those tormented by evil spirits,
and all of them were healed. Acts 5:16.

The disciples never saw Jesus refuse a sick person healing. He turned none
away, not one. So they followed His teaching, and example; and all of them
were healed.

Paul preached healing. He declared that Christ has redeemed us (believers)
from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. Gal. 3:13

What curse?

In Deuteronomy 28 God lists the diseases that come upon people who disobey
Him. It covers every disease, every ailment known to mankind.

Read it and see. If your disease is not mentioned specifically,

read Deuteronomy 28:60-61. He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
So your sickness is included isn't it?

Paul preached that Christ took our place and suffered in our stead, and
redeems believers from the curses of the Law.
Christ suffered all the curses of the Law for everyone, no exceptions.
Paul's Gospel includes healing for all.

James asks, Is any of you sick? If so God promises that when prayed for in
faith and anointed... the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well, the Lord will raise him up. James 5:15 (paraphrased)

Note the Greek word used for 'will make well' is sozo, again proving that
forgiveness and healing are inseparable. in James' Gospel and teaching. 'any'
includes all believers, even those who have sinned. It did in the Early Church, it does today. James' Gospel includes healing for all.

John taught the Early Church;

This is the confidence we have in approaching God, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us, and if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know we have what we asked of him. 1 John 5:14.

 'Anything' includes healing. 'According to his will' means according to His word, or His promise. Clearly healing is according to His promise, and to His Word.

John, one of the closest of Jesus' disciples, certainly knew it was Christ's will to heal all the sick who followed Him. John's Gospel includes healing for all.

Peter clearly taught healing was for all.

By whose wounds you have been healed. 1 Pe. 2:24
'You' includes all believers doesn't it?

Paul the missionary made no exceptions in proclaiming the Gospel, and his
Gospel included healing for all.
I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you. Acts
20:20 Healing is definitely helpful if you are sick.

On Malta Island, every sick person was healed under Paul's ministry, no
exceptions. Starting with the Chief Official's father who; was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery.
Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him. When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured. Acts 28:8-9.

There are no exceptions in the book of Acts; everyone who applied for healing
in the Early Church was healed. The Church began by miracles, because they
followed Jesus who heals all who asked.

We should not only follow the Early Church's teaching, but we should also follow her action. When we do healing, miracles result just as in Bible days.

A modern ecumenical lukewarm 'church' is a terrible example to follow. Let's
get back to the Bible Way, the Main Road, the only way to evangelize the
world... The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, that includes healing for all.

God used Paul in writing most of the New Testament, and Paul did not feel he
had fully proclaimed the Gospel unless God confirmed his message with signs,
wonders and miracles.

I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished
through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done
by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from
Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel
of Christ. Ro. 15:18-19

The Early Church preached Christ's message, people were healed and demons
cast out in Jesus' Name. If someone came along afterwards and claimed to
'preach the Gospel' and it was just words with no accompanying demonstration
of the Spirit of God's power in signs, wonders and miracles, that 'preacher'
would be laughed out of town as a phony.

... our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with
the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. 1 Th. 1:5

My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with
a demonstration of the Spirit's power. 1 Co. 2:1-5

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. 1 Co. 4:20

The Scriptures in this article prove that it is God's will to heal whoever comes to Him in faith. This is His will, His way. No other way of healing is recommended in the Holy Bible. God has no other way for His people.

Let every preacher and believer repent, seek the Lord, get filled with His Spirit, and
preach only the true Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, that includes healing for all.
Separating healing from salvation is unbiblical and wrong.

END.

Be Blessed, In Christ Jesus, Joseph Vella.
