  1. The Treasure of God’s Healing Power

  2. Yahoo question “Im wondering why god will not heal me. i asked from 1993 till 2010. no more. if that book was true he or she should have?” Roy

  3. “Im wondering why god will not heal me.” So, what's your question? Are you greater than Paul the apostle who wrote a large part of the New Testament? He was sick with something and God didn’t heal him because it was just going to make him stronger. You just want an excuse to continue living a sinful and immoral lifestyle. No1home2day

  4. “Im wondering why god will not heal me.” “17 years you prayed? What kind of healing did you require? Thats the sad part about all the atheists. They "think" that the only way to be healed is by a cure. John 3:16”  JCsaves316

  5. “Im wondering why god will not heal me.” This man is asking why God will allow us to suffer. Why did my 43 year old favorite uncle who dedicated his life to spreading the word of God as a Lutheran pastor suddenly get a cancerous tumor in his liver ? Why did he have to die a slow and painful death over about 2 1/2 years? Yet he kept his faith and when he finally passed it was with his entire congregation holding hands in a circle around his house and singing his favorite hymns to God. He had been unconscious for days and hadn't moved at all, but right before his heart stopped beating, my aunt, his wife who was holding his hand, says that he smiled right before he died as if God had reassured him his hard work had not been in vain and he was finally going home. This is a valid question this man has and nobody should ridicule him for asking it. But the answer is we don't know or could even pretend to understand God’s motives for this. Jeremy 

  6. “Im wondering why god will not heal me.” “The prayers of a million mothers every year are ignored as their children die agonizing deaths from malaria. Why should you expect to be treated any differently?” dendronbat

  7. “Im wondering why god will not heal me.” Be truthful to God. Hiding anything wont help.He knows better. Me22

  8. “Im wondering why god will not heal me.” “Did you use the washroom?I'm sorry, but if you leave, your place in line is forfeited.” David

  9. “Im wondering why god will not heal me.” “You haven’t the faith to be healed.” Fiction Slayer

  10. “Im wondering why god will not heal me.” “Your imaginary sky creature does not exist. I don't know what kind of healing you require, but you will be better off relying on science than sky creatures. Take care.” Moose

  11. “Im wondering why god will not heal me.” “Actually, God glories in the well being of His children. He wants us to be healthy. There are however a couple of reasons why we still remain sick but since you might not consider me an authority on it, i will refer you to Andrew Wormacks teaching. Listen to him keenly and i am positive you will find your solution. The teaching is available free on his website as mp3 ...follow the link below” http://www.awmi.net/ Ronhi

  12. Common Questions Does God make you sick to teach you something? If God wants us well, why isn’t everyone healed? Is the reason I am not healed because I lack faith? Is healing in the Bible meant to be spiritual healing only, not physical? What about Paul’s thorn in the flesh? What can I do to experience the healing power of God?

  13. Common Confusion Comment overheard: “Lord, please heal my back, but if you want me to be in pain for some reason, that’s okay, too.” To receive healing by faith, you must be convinced that GOD WANTS YOU WELL!

  14. 1. God’s creation was good! There was no sickness in the Garden of Eden. Sickness came into the world as a result of sin. It is part of the curse. Gal 3:13 “Christ redeemed us from the curse ”

  15. 2. There is no sickness in heaven. “[God] will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” Rev 21:4 Jesus said we ought to pray: “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matt. 6:10

  16. 3. Jesus healed all who came to Him. He never made anyone sick. “Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.” Matt 4:23 “Andmany followed him, and he healed them all.” Matt.12:15 “…all who touched Him were healed.” Mark 6 :56 "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of Him who sent me.“ Jn 6:38

  17. 4. If you think God made you sick, why do you go to the doctor? Why are you opposing God’s will? [Classic Buddhism – “Untouchables”/Dalit people deserve their suffering because of their bad karma in a previous life.] Jesus said: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:10 “…every good and perfect gift comes from our Father in heaven, in whom is no shadow of turning” James 1:17

  18. 5. God is good. He gives good gifts. No parent wishes illness on his child. Why would God be different? Matt 7:9-11  “Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” NKJV I John 1:5 “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.”

  19. 6. Healing is in the Atonement Jesus died for your healing! • Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. •  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. • Some argue, “This refers to spiritual healing, not physical healing.”

  20. 6. Healing is in the Atonement Isaiah 53:5 “…and with his stripes we are healed.” Matt 8:14-17 14And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 15And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 16When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:  17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. (Refers to Isaiah 53)

  21. 6. Healing is in the Atonement Isaiah 53:5 “…and with his stripes we are healed.” I Peter 2:24”Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.”

  22. Definition of “Sozo”/Salvation What does “sozo” mean? (Strong’s Concordance) • to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction one (from injury or peril) • to save a suffering one, to heal one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health • to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue

  23. “Sozo”/ Salvation includes Healing Salvation“That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you shall be saved (sozo).” Romans 10:9 Healing “But Jesus turning and seeing her said ‘Daughter take courage your faith has made you well (sozo) and at once the woman was made well (sozo).” Matt 9:22 “The prayer of faith shall save sozo the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.” James 5:14 Deliverance“And those who had seen it reported to them how the man who was demon-possessed had been made well (sozo).” Luke 8:36

  24. 6. Healing is in the Atonement John 19:30 “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” It is a finished work! Through His death on the cross, Jesus paid for our sins and our sickness!

  25. Review: God wants you well! • There was no sickness in the Garden of Eden. (Result of man’s sin.) • There was no sickness in heaven. • Jesus healed all who came to Him & He only does the Father’s will. • Why oppose His will by going to the doctor if God wants you sick? • God is good and He gives good gifts! • Jesus died for your healing. It’s in the atonement.

  26. But if God “allows” me to be sick, doesn’t it mean that’s His will for me? One reason people are not healed is because we misunderstand the sovereignty of God. We think God is in control; and He determines all outcomes in life. It’s a passive mindset from ancient Greek and Roman cultures, where people believed they could not change their fate.

  27. Misconceptions about the Sovereignty of God “God is in charge” vs. “God is in control” God does not control or force people to do His will. People are free to do whatever they want to do. Don’t assume that everything that happens is God’s will. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9, 

  28. Misconceptions about the Sovereignty of God Whatever is “meant to be” will happen. (False. This is not a biblical concept. We have responsibility for our own lives.) “Everything happens for a reason.” (Be careful with this idea. Don’t blame God for things He didn’t do.) If you aren’t healed yet, don’t assume God wants you sick! There can be many factors that sabotage your healing.

  29. Misconceptions about the Sovereignty of God Jesus repeatedly said to the sick, "Your faith has healed you." Never once did He say, "God’s sovereignty has healed you” or “You need to be sick a little longer so you can learn something.” Whose report will you believe?

  30. What about Paul’s Thorn in the Flesh? "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities(lack or inadequacy) that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong." (2 Cor. 12:7-10) 

  31. What about Paul’s Thorn in the Flesh? • Source of trouble = messenger from Satan (not from God) • Persecution and hatred was stirred up from people wherever he went because of this messenger from Satan. God does not override human will. He gives us grace to stand strong in spite of it. • “infirmity” here means “lack or inadequacy,” not sickness.

  32. Misconceptions about the Sovereignty of God Wrong thinking about the sovereignty of God (assuming God is allowing you to be sick for His purposes) will make you passive in your faith—rather than pressing in according to His Word.

  33. How can I be healed?1. Start Over! Start over. Set aside religious thinking on the subject of healing and forget past failure. Phil 3:13 But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead… Mark 7:13  Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition…

  34. How can I be healed?2. It’s by GRACE through FAITH! Remember, the key that unlocks all spiritual treasure is the GRACE we receive through FAITH in the completed work of Jesus on the cross. Eph 2:8-9 It is by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God not a result of works lest anyone should boast.

  35. 2. He has already given you FAITH! He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ! Eph1:3 Matt 17:20  I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Heb 11:6 Without faith it is impossible to please God for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Lk 18:42 Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you.“ Rom 12:3 God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

  36. 3. Look at Jesus, not your sickness. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith! Heb 12:2 Psalm 107:19-21 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them from their distress; He sent out His word and healed them, and delivered them from destruction. Psalm 30:2“O Lord my God, I cried to You for help, and You have healed me.”

  37. Praise is looking at Him! Jer 17:13 Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are the One I praise. Psalm 22:3 But You are holy,enthroned in the praises ofIsrael (His people) Praise puts the focus of your attention on the Lord instead of rehearsing the problem over and over in your mind.

  38. Worship is looking at Him! Exodus 23:25 “You shall worship the Lord your God, and I will bless your bread and your water; and I will take sickness away from among you.” Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

  39. Thankfulness is looking at Him! Psalm 103: 2-5 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits;who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. Proverbs 17:22 “A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a downcast spirit dries up the bones.”

  40. 4. Cast down unbelief! Cast down every imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.2 Cor 10:5 Matt 17: 19-21 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting.

  41. 4. Cast down unbelief! Disciples could not heal the son… Mark 9:23 -24 Jesus said unto him (father), If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believes. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Jesus held the disciples responsible, not the sick boy. Unbelief works against faith.

  42. 4. Cast down unbelief! Unbelief can shut down faith. Mark 6:5  Now He (Jesus) could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. (NKJV) Matt. 13:58And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief . (KJV)

  43. How can I be healed?5. Stand on the Word • Proverbs 4:20-22 “My child, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh.” • Alan Moore, Decatur, Texas – Major stroke in July 2009

  44. 5. Stand on the Word • Alan Moore, Decatur, Texas – Major stroke • Alan went outside to do yard work in 104 degree heat. • Wife found him: “You’re not going to leave me!” • Dr. report: left side paralysis, can’t speak or swallow, lost peripheral vision, was critical condition fighting for his life

  45. 5. Stand on the Word • Wife Debbie would not repeat the diagnosis to her sister, only confessed the Word • Dr. thought wife was in shock and denial • Alan got up an walked despite intravenous tubes, catheter, feeding tube, heart monitor • Recovered so quickly that the doctors did another MRI & MRA scan to see if he even had a stroke—2nd scan confirmed the extensive stroke

  46. 5. Stand on the Word • Shortly thereafter, Alan returned to work 10 hour days. He has had no residual issues from the stroke. • “He made a miraculous recovery, and I can’t explain that,” Dr. Chunduri said.

  47. 6. Use Believer’s Authority Acts 3:6 "Peter said, Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk."   Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

  48. The Believer’s Authority Mark 11:23 “For truly I say unto you, Thatwhosoever shall say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says.” Matt 16:19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed[ in heaven.”  Don’t let religious thinking explain the Word away.

  49. The Believer’s Authority • Three years ago, Audrey Scott appeared to be healthy at birth but doctors quickly discovered they couldn’t keep her “pink” in color. • The infant was transferred to a NICU where  doctors determined from an echogram that part of the baby’s heart was missing and that there were no major arteries flowing from the heart to thelungs. • At the next opportunity Jamie (mother) had to see baby Audrey, she laid her hands on her and commanded Audrey's heart to be there, and spoke 1 Peter 2:24 over her, “…By whose stripes you were healed.”

  50. The Believer’s Authority Later that day, specialists told the Scotts that their baby girl had a poor life expectancy, but Jamie stood firmly on the truth. She knew her God did not create these problems, and she believed that He had made Audrey whole in spite of the bad report.
