Healing For Everyone

Just What Is Healing & Is It For Everyone?

"Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him."

James 5:14-15 (NASB)

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."

1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)

Just what is healing? According to the Webster's New World Dictionary, Third College Edition, it means 1] to make sound, well or healthy again; restore to health [heal the sick] 2] a) to cure or get rid of (a disease) b) to cause (a wound, sore, etc.) to become closed or scarred so as to restore a healthy condition 3] to free from grief, troubles, evil, etc. 4] a) to remedy or get rid of (grief, troubles, etc.) b) to make up (a breach, differences, etc.); reconcile.

Let's follow this through. Many people struggle for years to "feel" saved and yet feel nothing. They finally get to the point, either by God's inspiration or the words of another Christian, that they accept God's forgiveness, by faith. That is the time when a peaceful rest comes upon them and they have an assurance that they are truly a Christian.

Later another struggle usually presents itself. Many Christians may struggle with this one for years. They read books, fast, pray, agonize, get prayed over by the "best" in Christianity, attend meetings; all with no results. They are seeking to experience the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit just as they sought salvation, the WRONG way! Just as we receive the forgiveness of sins as a gift from our Savior, BY FAITH, so too can we receive the same full blessing that the disciples received from the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, again BY FAITH. BY FAITH we can say, "Thank you Jesus! I have it NOW!" They don't necessarily feel anything different, but by FAITH they know they have received it and for most that is good enough at first. First comes FAITH, later come the feelings.

But, by far, the hardest struggle of all comes when we try to apply the same laws of FAITH in the area of physical healing. How can we claim they are "healed" when the painful symptoms still persist? Isn't it hypocrisy to say, "By His stripes you are healed" when nothing appears to change in their physical condition? For years I have studied the Word of God and read the published works of "spiritual giants", men and women of God who have been used to bring healing to thousands. I can truly say I have biblical grounds to believe I am healed just as strong as I do to believe I am saved. If I can be saved by faith alone, I can be healed by simple faith alone. This faith is simply an inner settling; a KNOWING that it is God's will to heal me.

Does God want to save everyone? There is no doubt of this in most Christian's hearts. John 3:16 says, "...whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." The word "whoever" makes the promise universal. It means EVERYBODY!

There are several very specific verses of scripture that clearly show that God promises healing to EVERYBODY who believes just as He promises salvation to ALL who believe. Among them the following:

James 5:14-15 (NASB)

The word ANYONE means EVERYONE was invited to be healed just as "Whosoever" in John 3:16 invites ALL to believe on Jesus and be saved.

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."

1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)

The stripes mentioned here were the brutal lashings upon Jesus' back made by Roman whips. Thirty nine stripes was the traditional punishment for a condemned prisoner. According to scripture, these stripes Christ endured were suffered for our healing (1 Peter 2:24).

Sometimes when someone gets a terminal sickness or disease our faith levels plummet. They may seem to be severely shaken, even to their core.

Though you may know that God is all-powerful, YOUR situation looks so hopeless that you start doubting whether or not God can really deliver YOU out of such a dire and hopeless situation. You are so overwhelmed by the hopelessness of the situation that you start forgetting how powerful God really is and that He does have the supernatural power to FULLY heal you, no matter how grave the situation may appear to YOUR natural thoughts.

"For nothing is impossible with God."

Luke 1:37 (NIV)

Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."

Luke 18:27 (NIV)

If you are suffering from any sickness, here is the good news for you . . . today! Healing is for today! God is the same today, as He was yesterday as He will be forever!

He heals all who believe today because He bore OUR (everyone's) sicknesses. Jesus suffered your sicknesses and carried your diseases away! Take your healing by faith by putting your name in any one of the above verses that tell us our sins are forgiven and our sicknesses have been healed. This means our healing will surely come as we hold steady in our confession of faith until we see "the mountain cast into the sea." God gives by promise; we must receive by faith.
