2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. (Matthew 8:2-3 KJV)
Many Christians have been taught that they can be healed “if it’s Gods will”, but Jesus was the express image of His Father, and He always healed those that asked Him, so this shows that it is the will of God to heal all who believe in Him. It is wrong to throw out a prayer and ask for healing, if it’s your will, as it is His will at all times to heal us, as that was part of the atonement of Jesus, as “by His stripes we were healed” (1 Peter 2:24).
All through the life of Jesus ministry here on earth, He always healed everyone who would accept it. There were times He could not do the miracles that He wanted to because of the people’s unbelief (Matthew 13:58), but never because He didn’t want to heal them. At no time did Jesus ever put sickness or disease onto anyone, but always healed them that had some faith in Him. It not only takes faith in the one praying for the healing, but it also takes some faith in the one that is receiving. Any unbelief can cancel the faith present to heal, and stop the miracles from coming to pass. Healing is ours, if we have the faith to see it happen. We have the faith of Jesus in our born again spirits (Galatians 5:22-23), let’s use it and move a few mountains – praise God.
