Beschreibung

Have you ever wondered if God still heals? And if he does then how does a person receive healing? Can anyone be healed? Can everyone be healed? Can I be healed? God is not only able to heal, he is willing to heal! He is willing to heal because healing demonstrates the very nature of who God is; he is gracious, compassionate, loving and full of goodness and mercy. And there is nothing more gracious and merciful than experiencing the Lord's divine healing of sickness and diseases! This study is a chronicle of the lessons in my own personal pursuit of healing that started with, "If God still heals, then why am I still sick?" and finishes with a complete, supernatural, amazing miracle of, "I AM HEALED!" Come and learn of the promises of God and the works of Jesus that make healing still available to us today!

Lesson 1

Dispelling the Myths of Sickness & Disease

For many years in my early Christian walk, I believed that sickness and disease were just a part of every person’s life; something that we just have to live with. I believed people got sick, sometimes recovered, most of the time went to the doctor and took medicine, and of course, were added to every church’s prayer list. I believed in healing and would stand firm relentlessly declaring my faith in healing. Now, I never saw anyone healed who had been prayed for nor was I ever healed. I mean, other than through the course of seven to ten days of taking antibiotics, surgery, chemotherapy, or whatever else was prescribed by the medical profession. However, I believed beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus healed! Let me explain to you why I never saw my prayers or faith produce Biblical healing. Simply, I believed a lie. My belief in Biblical healing was based on the following: I know God can heal you; if it is his will and if it is God’s will to heal you then you are healed by the stripes of Jesus. I still cringe every time I think about my prior erroneous beliefs and lack of Biblical knowledge concerning healing. It still hurts my heart every time I think about these words that came out of my mouth, “if it is God’s will to heal...” I had built an entire belief system of Biblical healing on everything except the Bible! I based my belief on every thought, idea, and opinion of what I heard other people say and my own personal experiences of not being healed and not seeing other people healed. So let me start by clarifying one of the most promised Biblical truths that we will address throughout this Bible study; it is God’s will to heal you!

I want to address in this lesson some of the most (mis)quoted scriptures that are used to try to prove how it is not God’s will to heal everyone all of the time. When healing does not happen many people feel as though it needs to be justified with an answer such as; God must have another plan, God must be trying to teach them something, well they did it to their self, or God must be punishing them for something. To which I say, “NO, NO, NO, and NO!”

Let’s begin with the book of Job. For some reason, many people like to reference how God took his protective hedge away from Job so Satan could make Job sick. Therefore, some people believe that sometimes God will take his protective hedge off of us and allow us to be attacked with sickness and disease; even to the point of death. I could simply make one statement to end this entire debate: Job was living in the Old Testament and was not even under the Old Testament Mosaic Law and we are living in the New Testament and have a blood Covenant with God provided by the atonement of Jesus Christ which provided the promise of Salvation and healing! Really, no matter how you choose to believe the book of Job, it has absolutely nothing to do with the promise of New Testament healing. We are not living in the Old Testament. Jesus came and fulfilled the Law and established a new covenant with better promises!   Hebrews 8:6:

However, we will go ahead and address one of the most (mis)quoted scriptures from the book of Job so you will have a greater understanding of Biblical healing. According to the Dake’s Annotated Reference Bible, the main purpose of the book of Job is to give light concerning human suffering through calamities and sicknesses, record the reasoning’s of ordinary men concerning these experiences, identify Satan as the author of such misery, teach patience, and reveal God as the Deliverer of his people when he is called upon to help in time of need. Dake’s continues to state that Satan brings about the actual happenings of accidents, sickness, and disease, and calamity, then causes men to think that God brings these things to pass. Thus he (God) is blamed erroneously for the work of the devil by millions, even so-called Christians who should know better. Permission of God is never the same as the work of Satan after permission is granted him: withdrawing protection and allowing another to destroy is not the same as the destruction itself. God’s work is that of deliverance; Satan’s is that of destruction.  John 10:10:

Job 1:8:

Many reference this scripture to imply that God will offer us up to Satan to be attacked by sickness and disease just to test our faithfulness to God, but even if that were the meaning in the original Hebrew scripture we are not living in the Old Testament; therefore this does not apply to us in any kind of way! Nonetheless, I will address the meaning of the scripture. According to Matthew Henry Bible Commentary a more accurate translation of this phrase in its original Hebrew context has this meaning: as when we meet with one that has been in a distant place, where we have a friend we dearly love, we are ready to ask, “You have been in such a place; pray did you see my friend there?” Observe how honorably God speaks of Job: He is my servant. Good men are God’s servants, and he is pleased to reckon himself honored in their services, and they are to him for a name and praise and crown of glory. Isaiah 62:3:

Henry continues to explain God’s fondness of his servant Job, “Yonder is my servant Job; there is none like him, none I value like him, of all the princes and potentates of the earth; one such saint as he is worth them all.” However, many people have heard Job 1:8 (mis)quoted so many times in the church that they believe God is actually serving us up on a silver platter to the enemy every time sickness or disease attacks our body. That is simply not true. I taught this lesson to our own congregation and because some of them had sat under that teaching for so many years (prior to joining our congregation) they just could not seem to change the way they believed the book of Job. When I realized this I simply said to them, “Ok, so even if that really is how it happened (and it is not), Job lived during the Old Testament; it still does not apply to us today.” Any which way you decide to believe the book of Job one historical fact and Biblical truth is clear; we are not living in the Old Testament. The book of Job has nothing to do with our promise of healing provided by Jesus on the Cross!

The second myth of sickness and disease we will address is that we are supposed to suffer with Christ as Christians and sometimes that suffering comes in the form of sickness and disease. The most (mis)quoted scripture used to support this false belief is   2 Timothy 2:12:

Suffer what? Pneumonia? Cancer? Heart disease? Diabetes? Depression? Anxiety? Jesus never suffered sickness or disease. The only thing Jesus suffered was persecution! When Jesus raised the dead, he was persecuted. Matthew 9:24:

When Jesus cast out devils, he was persecuted. Luke 11:14-15:

When Jesus healed the sick, he was persecuted. Mark 3:1-2, 6:
