Healing requires faith. You must believe Jesus will heal. He has the power, He has the desire and He has the love for you. If you lack or doubt any of this – pray now and ask Jesus to help you, to give you what you lack.
- Your faith has made you well – Luke 18:42
- Thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague – Mark 5:34.
Healing requires a desire for obedience. Sin is what brought disease and death into this world. To be freed from disease and addiction of sin, you must turn from sinful habits. If you desire strength to be obedient and turn from addiction, pray now and ask Jesus to give you His strength. He is ALL Powerful and can do ALL things. Ask in faith and believe.
- Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee – John 5:14.
- When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. – Mark 2:5-12, 17
It required nothing less than creative power to restore health to that decaying body. The same voice that spoke life to man created from the dust of the earth had spoken life to the dying paralytic. And the same power that gave life to the body had renewed the heart. He who at the creation “spake, and it was,” who “commanded, and it stood fast,” (Psalm 33:9), had spoken life to the soul dead in trespasses and sins. The healing of the body was an evidence of the power that had renewed the heart. Christ bade the paralytic arise and walk, “that ye may know,” He said, “that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins.”
The paralytic found in Christ healing for both the soul and the body. The spiritual healing was followed by physical restoration. This lesson should not be overlooked. There are today thousands suffering from physical disease, who, like the paralytic, are longing for the message, “Thy sins are forgiven.” The burden of sin, with its unrest and unsatisfied desires, is the foundation of their maladies. They can find no relief until they come to the Healer of the soul. The peace which He alone can give, would impart vigor to the mind, and health to the body.
Jesus came to “destroy the works of the devil.” “In Him was life,” and He says, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” He is “a quickening spirit.” 1 John 3:8; John 1:4; 10:10; 1 Corinthians 15:45. And He still has the same life-giving power as when on earth He healed the sick, and spoke forgiveness to the sinner. He “forgiveth all thine iniquities,” He “healeth all thy diseases.” Psalm 103:3.
The effect produced upon the people by the healing of the paralytic was as if heaven had opened, and revealed the glories of the better world. As the man who had been cured passed through the multitude, blessing God at every step, and bearing his burden as if it were a feather’s weight, the people fell back to give him room, and with awe-stricken faces gazed upon him, whispering softly among themselves, “We have seen strange things today.” – Desire of Ages p. 269-270
THE BEST NEWS EVER!
Wholeness is 100% perfect health, 100% perfect mind and 100% perfect joy. This is life abundant.
Jesus only always completely heals; there is no partial healing with Jesus, no partial restoration. His healing is full, over-flowing, and over abundant. In this world we are accustomed to half way completed work, a partial, compromised product or service. With Jesus, not so. He cannot be less than Himself. He is complete, lacking nothing, so what He is, He gives.
Perfect joy consists of and comes about by the knowledge that we are forgiven, we are healthy, and we posses a sound, Holy spirit filled mind. There is nothing better on this earth right now, than to retain full physical health in body and mind, and to know we are forgiven; loved by Christ and know and trust that He will complete the work in us, to make us ready for His eternal kingdom. There is nothing better than this – to know God and to trust Him, for ALL our needs. He CAN do it.
If you do not yet experience this knowledge and trust in Jesus, we are here ready to help guide you into His acquaintance.
