Healing

Scripture is clear on healing.

“For I am the LORD that healeth thee.” (Exodus 15:26)

“Bless the LORD, O my soul… who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.” (Psalm 103:2-3)

“And Jesus went about all Galilee… healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.” (Matthew 4:23)

“With his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

“Then he called his twelve disciples… and he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.” (Luke 9:1-2)

“Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” (Mark 5:34)

“Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him… and the prayer of faith shall save the sick.” (James 5:14-15) This is a special case and applies to the order of elders. The order of elders is scarcely found in the church, but God will restore it.

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.” (James 5:16)

“To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12:9)

“They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” (Mark 16:17-18)

2 Corinthians 12:7-9 Paul was not healed of his “thorn in the flesh,” and some theologians say the thorn in the flesh was a physical infirmity. The Bible doesn’t say that. The way Paul writes, the thorn could well have been the painful memories of the way he tortured and killed Christians.

Some theologians say God no longer heals and that these Scriptures don’t apply anymore. On the other hand, many Christians have been blessed with true healing ministries. Many of those who are currently blessed are trying to teach other Christians how God wants them to walk in God’s healing Anointing. Seek the Lord and see whether He wants you to be effective when you pray for the sick or suffering.
