Save The Lost/Heal The Sick

"Jesus came to save the lost and heal the sick." Luke 19:1-10


Question: If it's God's 'Will' for everyone to receive healing, then why isn't everyone healed.


Answer: It's also God's 'Will' for everyone to be saved but everyone doesn't receive their salvation.


*The provision is available - it's up to us to receive it and we receive through faith. 
And.."Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." Romans 10:17

God's Will To Heal

Tradition has taught 'The Church' to pray, "If it be God's will" and as a result, we're being robbed of healing. 
We should know God's will to heal before we ever pray.
We can know because God's Word tells us what His will is. 
The Word of God is the Will of God.
Praying "If it be your will" is unbelief. 


Tradition also teaches that miracles do not happen today. 
What we perceive as "Miracles" are really promises. 
Again, God's covenant/promises with Abraham and we are the heirs to those promises.
Receiving healing, spiritual gifts, prosperity and protection, requires activating your faith and believing the promises of God. 


Church tradition also tells us that God will get glory from our sickness. 
However, the Bible tells us that people gave glory to God when they witnessed the lame walking and blinded eyes opening. 
God's power manifested in His children is what brings God glory.
John 15:18 says "Jesus said the Father is glorified when we bear much fruit."
Is sickness bearing fruit? No!
Not only does this not make sense but it also disagrees with the Word of God.

God wants His people well! He wants every believer to be whole as He said in 3 John 2, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."


Jesus came into the world to do the Will of His Father. 
John 6:38,"For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me." 


When you receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, the first step to spiritual maturity is not baptism, but is realizing your position with God. 
You are heirs of God, joint heirs with Jesus.
Neither Baptism with water nor Baptism with The Holy Spirit will bring you into spiritual maturity. It's learning God's will for your life that will grow you up in Him.


Matthew 6:10 of 'The Lord's Prayer,' "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." There is no sickness in heaven, so that alone should clarify God's will concerning healing.
