Ask ourselves where is the faith in that prayer? We need to hold fast to our belief of God’s desire and love that HE wants to heal us, and pray accordingly. Because without faith it is impossible to please God! (Heb 11:6)

Let me first get out there that I do not presume to claim to know all of God’s will; but what He has revealed in His Word, we should really know! As an example is it God’s will that all should be saved? John 3:16 clearly says that Jesus has paid the price for the world’s sins…”that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”

So what about healing? First look at Jesus ministry on earth, He healed ALL that was brought to Him. He never turned away anyone and said HE couldn’t/ wouldn’t heal the person. Why do we then think of Him not wanting to heal?

NKJ Matthew 8:16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

NKJ Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.

NKJ Luke 4:40 When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.

This is just a small selection of verses from the gospel that reveals Jesus’ heart, His desire to heal all that have need, physical, emotional or spiritual. He went about healing ALL that came to Him, not some, no ifs or buts, He healed ALL!

Finally lets look at if Jesus is willing.

NKJ Matthew 8:2-3

And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever more. When He was here on earth, His ministry was full of miraculous healings, and HE was willing to heal us. Things haven’t changed, He  still loves us and is WILLING to heal us. Our Jesus who was willing to lay His life down for us, why wouldn’t He be willing to heal us?

All we need to do is realize/ believe that He loves us and is willing to heal us and start walking by faith in the supernatural healing that He has bought for us on the cross.

Stay tuned for healing 3: Holy Communion.

God Bless
