HOW MANY WILL GOD HEAL? - Dr T.L Osborn.
I WILL TAKE sickness away from you. The number of your days I will fulfill. [Ex 23:25-26]
I am the Lord who heals you. [Ex 15:26]
If you are sick, God wants to heal you.
Until you are fully convinced that God wants you to be well, there will always be a doubt in your mind as to whether or not you will be healed. As long as there is that doubt in your mind, perfect faith cannot exist; and until faith is exercised, without doubt or wavering, you may never be healed.
Without faith it is impossible to please him: for they that come to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. [Hb 11:6]
But let them ask in faith, nothing wavering. For they that waver are like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not those (who waver) think they shall receive any thing of the Lord. [Ja 1:6-7]
Once people are fully convinced that God wants to heal them and that it is not God's will for them to be sick, they almost always receive healing when prayed for, if not before.
Knowing God's will concerning sickness provides the ground on which perfect faith can act.
GOD IS HONEST
To one puzzled about faith, who said to me, "I just can't seem to get faith to be healed," I asked, "Have you confidence that God will keep His promise to you?"
"Oh, yes," she affirmed.
"That is faith," I assured her, then added, "Isn't it simple?" And she was healed.
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the Son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and
shall he not make it good? [Nu 23:19]
There has not failed one word of all his good promise. [I Kings 8:56]
Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven. [Ps 119:89]
I will hasten my word to perform it. That word hasten means: "to watch over," "to look after," "to protect," or "to stand behind." In all of His unlimited power, God is standing behind His word to accomplish it. Believe
that.
There is no reason for doubting God.
F. F. Bosworth said: "Don't doubt God. If you must doubt something,doubt your doubts, because they are unreliable; but never doubt God, nor His word."
D. L. Moody said: "Is there any reason why you should not have faith in God? Has God ever broken one of His promises? I defy any infidel or unbeliever to place a finger on a single promise God ever made and failed
to fulfill."
Satan is a liar. Jesus said so. I can open the Bible and show you how, for six thousand years, Satan has lied to people, telling them that God's word is not true. The devil has denied God's word, and promises people everything - but has broken every promise he ever made.
God announced Himself to be the healer of His people with these words: I am the Lord who heals you. He spoke those words to about three million people. Everyone of them believed God's words were true. The result: Everyone of them who needed healing was made perfectly whole.
We are told: He (God) brought them forth and there was not one feeble person among their tribe. [Ps 105:37] Can you imagine three million people all well and strong? Not one feeble, not one weak, and not one sick?
If that was true in Israel, under the law, it is much more true for you, who have been redeemed by the blood of God's Lamb and are living under grace, mercy, and truth.
Let this become a settled truth that you know, as well as you know two plus two are four: Healing is for you - all may be healed.
It is God's will for every individual to be well and strong -when His conditions are met and His word is believed. If there is a justified "maybe" in your case, then we are compelled to apply a "maybe" in every case, because God is no respecter of persons. If God will heal anyone, He will heal you.
In the world today, disease and sickness are claiming a terrible toll of human lives. In spite of the fact that medical science is demonstrating its greatest achievements, disease persists to ravage human lives all over the world.
The tragedy is that these sicknesses and diseases affect the bodies of
thousands of Christians, while preachers and teachers, influenced by theological traditions, often stand by with little more than words of
sympathy and pity, assuring the sufferer that it must be God's will; that it will work out for the best; that God is teaching the patient some lesson in humility; that possibly it is God's chastisement; or that by it, the sick person
is being drawn closer to Him who often works His will in our lives through sickness.
Christians need never be sick, any more than they need to be sinful. It is always God's desire to heal you.
Why is disease such a persistent enemy? How is it that sickness has been able to take such a toll among Christians today? In the Old Testament, three million of God's people believed His word when it was spoken, and everyone was completely healed.
The only reason those three million Israelites became well and strong was that they believed what God said: I am the Lord who heals you. That was said to them, and they believed it.
The only reason disease takes such a toll among Christians today is that many do not believe what God has spoken. They know that God said, I am the Lord who heals you.
Somehow they have failed to believe that He meant what He said, which is basically what Satan said to Adam and Eve: God did not mean
what he said. Influenced by tradition, people have changed God's "I am" to "I was".
If, under the old covenant, three million of God's people could be well at one time, then how much more may God's people be well today who are living under the new covenant of mercy, grace, and truth, established on better promises, with a better priesthood, through a more excellent ministry.
