It Has Something to do with…

We do not understand everything about why God heals sometimes and sometimes He does not? Why sometimes He heals instantly and other times He heals progressively? Why He heals often in response to one believer’s prayer or command and not at all to another believer’s prayer or command?

What we do know is that it has something to do with…

Prayer and Fasting

Matt 17:21

21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."

NKJV

Believing in Christ

Mark 16:17-18

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

NKJV

Acts 2:38-39

38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."

NKJV

Belief

Matt 17:19-20

"Why could we not cast it out?"

20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

NKJV

Faith

Matt 9:21-22

22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, "Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.

NKJV

Matt 21:21-22

21 So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. 22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

NKJV

Study

2 Tim 2:14-16

15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

NKJV

Memorizing Scripture

John 15:7-8

7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

NKJV

Obedience

John 14:23-24

23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.

NKJV

Dieing to Self

Luke 14:27-28

27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

Laying on Hands

Mark 16:17-18

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

NKJV

Asking in God's Will

1 John 5:14-15

14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

NKJV

Ask and Command

Matt 18:18-20

18 "Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

19 "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

NKJV

Matt 21:21-22

21 So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. 22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

NKJV

For the Purpose of Increasing People's Faith

John 11:14-15

14 Then he told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead. 15 And for your sake, I am glad I wasn't there, because this will give you another opportunity to believe in me. Come, let's go see him."

NLT

Not for Your Own Glory

Luke 10:17-20

Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."

18 And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

NKJV

Your Part

Now you know your part. Stick to your part and trust that God has the big picture and He knows when the healing will do the most good and will heal right on time.

Rom 8:28-29

28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

NLT

When Word of Faith Movement meets Chronic Illness

I recently heard a sermon by a charismatic individual that suffered a vocal chord injury in 1992. Here are the highlights of his sermon.

- When this injury occurred his professional life, his personal life, his theology, his relationships, his family, everything was traumatized.

- He began to battle depression.

- He struggled with James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.

- After years of living with the pain of the injury, he asked the Holy Spirit for the meaning of verse 2. He was given verses 3 and 4.

- James 1:3-4 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

- He defines endurance as "faith sustained over time in the midst of distress/pain."

- He defines perfect and complete, lacking nothing as "being the image of Jesus Christ."

- When he realized that endurance has a most wonderful purpose, he was immediately filled with Joy.

- He admits that the endurance did nothing to cure his vocal chord injury, but it transformed his personality into a more joyful person.

- He admits that the completion of the work of transformation will not be complete until he sees Jesus face to face.

That was his message.

I don't know what his earlier theology was, that was traumatized by this injury, but I suspect it included some form of "God always wants His children to be healthy."

That theology was changed into "Sometimes God uses sickness, disease, and illness to produce a good work in His children."

I would like to offer a third possible theology.

I am not saying that the first two theologies are not biblical. There are many a pastor out there who make the biblical case for " God always wants His children to be healthy."

Also, this man made a great biblical case for "Sometimes God uses sickness, disease, and illness to produce a good work in His children."

I shall use the Bible as well to support my concept that I will call "God is in control."

- Isa 45:7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.

- This is the verse where I first discovered the idea that God is in control of the good things and the bad things that happen to us.

- There are many more to support the idea, but I will list only one more here.

- Job 1:21 The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.

- If God causes the bad things to happen then this begs the question, "Why?"

- My answer came from the Westminster Catechism. It says, "The chief aim of man is to glorify God."

- In the good times and in the bad times, we are to glorify God. That is exactly what Job did. "Blessed be the name of the LORD."

- Which is the better testimony: One who praises God when things are going great or one who praises God when things are going bad?

- I suggest that we view any bad things in our lives as opportunities from God to give Him glory during a bad situation. Just like James 1:2 from above, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials." Why? Because it is an opportunity to give glory to God when your testimony will be most valuable.

My major problem with the first two theologies is that the emphasis is on the SELF. God wants ME to be healthy at all times. God wants ME to endure so that I may be perfect.

In my theology, the emphasis is on glorifying God for the benefit of whoever is watching me. Who is around to see my distress so that I may witness to them for the purpose of the salvation of their souls.

I pray that God will lead you to an answer that gives you His Peace and Joy in the midst of your distress and pain.
