I truly believe God still heals the sick. I’m aware there are those who do not believe God heals the sick today. Some say miracles only occurred in the New Testament times. Some say healings are only coincidences, but it’s amazing how many coincidences we have when we pray.
Main Points:
1. Divine healing is a gift of God’s grace for all. Just as salvation comes to us by God’s grace, healing does as well. We do not deserve it and cannot earn it. In the NT people did not view healing as a right, but an act of God’s grace. We are in no position to demand God to give us healing.
2. In the church today there is a lot of false teaching about healing. What the Bible teaches us is that healing occurs according to the will of God. There is no magic formula. God is concerned about our needs. We bring them to him. We pray. But God is the healer.
3. We see in Scripture that it is God’s will for us to pray for the sick. We pray for them in the name of Jesus and we understand it is the Lord who brings the healing, not us. We do not have the power to heal, but God does.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
James 5:13-15 - “Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.”
Isaiah 53:5 - “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
