Healing is God’s will for us. The Gospels teach complete healing for spirit and body, for all who will come to Him.
Among all those who sought healing from Christ during His earthly ministry, there is only one who prayed for healing with the words “If it be your will.” This was an outcast leper, who did not know what Christ’s will was in healing.
Mark 1:40-42 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
The first thing Jesus did was to correct this uncertainty by assuring him, I am willing.
So no longer is it “if it be your will” — it is God’s will.
The leper said: If you will, you can. Jesus answered, I will, cancelling his “if,” adding to the man’s faith that Christ could heal him, the faith that He would.
Let it be settled forever from today: God will heal the sick.
If He wills to heal one, then He wills to heal all.
In James 5:14 it is asked “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
Anyone includes you if you are sick. ‘
When it comes to the benefits of Christ’s redemptive work, all are on an equal basis. The words “whoever” and “whosoever” are often used to invite the unconverted to be saved.
The words “as many as”, “everyone”, “all”, and “any” are used to invite the sick and the diseased to be healed.
Both invitations are always universal, and the results are always positively promised: shall be saved; shall have life; shall recover shall raise them up; healed them all and as many as touched him were healed.
The benefits of redemption are for you.
If God healed all then, He still heals all that come to Him for healing today.
Hebrews 13:8 declares Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Matthew 12:15 says Great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.
Luke 6:19 The whole multitude sought to touch Him for power went out from Him and healed them all.
Matthew 8:16-17 When the evening came, they brought to him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all that were sick: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying He Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.
Christ is still healing the sick, in order to fulfil the prophet’s words.
Always remember: You are included in the our of Matthew 8.17 and God is bound by His covenant to continue to heal all who are sick and weak, in order to fulfil Isaiah’s words.
Christ the Healer has never changed.
Jesus in the flesh was the physical expression of the Father’s will.
When Jesus laid His hands on everyone of them and healed them, He was revealing and doing the will of God for all people. In Hebrews 10:7 it is recorded that Jesus said I come, to do your will, 0 God. It is still His will to heal all who come to Him.
