Healing - From God or Medicine?
Since God cannot change; Jesus is the same; and the Holy Spirit
is with us, then the same healing all through the Bible, is the healing from
God anyone can receive who believes. The healing ministry of Jesus is all
through the New Testament, and since He is Hebrews 13:8 “the same yesterday
, and to day, and for ever,” then we can claim the same healing today.
He told His disciples to Acts 1:4 “wait for the promise of the
Father”—the Holy Spirit, Who inspires faith in us to believe for healing.
Jesus promised Matthew 28:20, “I am with you always, even unto the end of
the world”—saying the same to us Matthew 9:22, “Take heart, daughter,
your faith has healed you. And the woman was healed from that moment.”
God promises to heal us, if we will make the choice to believe and trust Him
in faith; not distrust Him and depend on a drug in unbelief.
The first recorded healing is when Genesis 20:17 ”Abraham
prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech,” and on to Exodus 23:25 ”You
shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water.
And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.” This same healing
continues to this day; Jesus 1 Peter 2:24 ”Who his own self bare our sins
in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”
Many profess faith in Christ, but do not act in faith on His
Atonement Blood for healing, protection, provisions, and other life issues.
They say that doctors, medicine, and drugs are gifts from God—but the
Bible does not say that, nor teach that. Bible Christians trusted God alone
for healing.
James 1:17 ”Every good gift and every perfect gift is from
above.” Drugs and medications would have to heal, and not ever harm, but
statistics say that the major cause of death in the United States has been
medical mistakes—over 250,000 die in hospitals every year from taking the
wrong medication.
There is no Bible command to take medicine, but many verses warn
against trusting in doctors or drugs. 2 Chronicles 16:12 “In the thirty&#
8209;ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet.
Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from
the LORD, but only from the physicians.” The king died two years later
with no mention of repenting.
There is the woman Mark 5:26 who ”had suffered a great deal
under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of
getting better she grew worse.” Job called them Job 13:4 “forgers of
lies, You are all worthless physicians.” The only mention of asking help
from a doctor is when Genesis 50:2 ”Joseph directed the physicians in his
service to embalm his father Israel.”
In the beginning everything was perfect—Genesis 1:31 “God saw
every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.” Satan,
however, deceived Adam and Eve to disobey God, which brought sin, sickness,
and disease into the world. God had a plan to give us hope 1 John 3:8 “For
this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works
of the devil.”
God said Exodus 15:26, "If you diligently heed the voice of the
Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His
commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on
you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you."
The people were afflicted when they sinned, but were healed by
God when they turned back to Him in faith. God is always faithful to His
promise—Exodus 23:25 “I will take sickness away from the midst of you,”
because He ”cannot lie” Titus 1:2 and He cannot change Malachi 3:6; James
1:17.
Jesus said John 12:44, "When a man believes in me, he does not
believe in me only, but in the one who sent me.” The Jews said they
believed God, but they opposed divine healing through His Son. After a man
was healed by Jesus, the Pharisees Mark 3:6 “immediately plotted” “how
they might destroy Him.” To reject divine healing in unbelief, is to
reject Almighty God as our Healer.
The apostle Paul noticed the lame man “had faith to be healed”
and told him Acts 14:10 to "’Stand up straight on your feet!’ And he
leaped and walked.” Everyone today has that same choice to believe, and to
act in faith on the Word of God. When we are enlightened and inspired by
the Holy Spirit John 16:13, we will be able to trust God in faith and to
receive the victory. Jesus said John 12:46 "I have come as a light into the
world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.”
A minister who claims to teach from the Bible, but goes to a
hospital for medical help, is not trusting God in faith on the Blood
sacrifice of His Son. The minister’s decision reveals his serious lack of
faith. To preach that Jesus came to save us, but not to heal us, is false
teaching—and we are to watch out for false prophets Matthew 7:15; 24:4;
Mark 8:15; 12:38; 13:5; Luke 21:8; 16:17; Philippians 3:2; 2 John 1:8.
Our close friends should share our believing faith in Christ,
and our trust on God for health, healing, and Heaven. Jesus said His true
followers were those who did His Father’s will Matthew 12:50—and it is God
’s will to trust Him for healing.
God sent His Son, to give His life on the cross, and to heal
those oppressed by the devil Acts 10:38. If we accept Christ as our Savior,
we also have to accept Him as our Healer, because Jesus defeated Satan who
causes sickness. It is a definite sin to trust in medical help and pills;
and it is real faith to trust on the Name of Jesus for healing. Romans 14:
23 ”All conduct not based on faith is sinful.” God wants us to repent of
the sin that caused the illness and to trust Him alone for the healing.
Moses was educated in Egypt, and would have known about the
Pharaoh’s medical plans. If taking medicine was God’s will, he would have
taught the Israelites to use it, but Moses did not do that. He always told
them to go directly to God in prayer about everything.
Sickness is from the devil, but we can be healed by faith in the
Blood of Jesus. John 14:13 ”Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will
I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” Trusting on medicine
brings no glory to God, but results in huge profits for the drug company.
God’s people left Egypt in perfect health because a lamb’s
blood was shed for them Psalm 105:37, so we can claim health and healing
today on the merit of Jesus’ Blood. The disciples were sent to ”Heal the
sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.
Freely you have received, freely give” Matthew 10:8. Medical insurance,
hospital fees, and prescription costs today are enormous, but a believer
receives healing for free.
The ministry of Christ was a ministry of healing Luke 5:20 ”
When Jesus saw their faith, he said, ‘Friend, your sins are forgiven,’”
and Jesus is the same forever Hebrews 13:8, so we are to repent, and to
trust God’s Ephesians 1:19 ”incomparably great power for us who believe.”
God wants us to be in good health and be healed by our faith in Him.
The centurion Matthew 8:10-11 just wanted a Word from Jesus; who
then replied: ”I have not found such faith, no, not in Israel.” It was
the kind of faith that believes God and brings healing. ”Many shall come
from the east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the
kingdom of Heaven.” Faith like that to be healed is the type that enters
Heaven.
Jesus added 12 ”But the children of the kingdom shall be cast
into outer darkness, where there is weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of
teeth.” Many would not receive eternal life, because they would not trust
God for healing. If anyone has more faith in doctors and drugs, than they
have in the living God and the risen Savior, their salvation would be in
serious jeopardy.
There is a great risk involved, when we trust Him for healing;
we risk our life on His Word. If we can trust God for divine healing,
however, we can easily trust Him for any lesser need. Jesus said “your
faith has healed you” many times to encourage us to trust in His Atonement
sacrifice [Matthew 9:22; Mark 5:34; Luke 7:50; 8:48; 17:19; 18:42]. We
trust God to avenge our wrongs and to help us forgive people, because if we
will not forgive others, God cannot forgive us Matthew 6:14.
Jesus said Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me, but loves his
father, mother—[or anything] more than he loves me, then he cannot be my
follower.” If we love some thing, some person, or some plan of the world
more than we love God, it is because they have first place in our heart—it
is idolatry. Exodus 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before Me.”
The Israelites were under a lamb’s blood in Egypt as a
substitute for the real Lamb’s Blood. Not one thing could touch anyone who
obeyed the Word. ”When I see the blood, I will pass over you” Exodus 12:
13 [all translations]. We are to trust in faith on the shed Blood of Christ
, and then to act in faith on the Word of God, because the “preaching of
the Cross… is the power of God” for us 1 Corinthians 1:18.
When Israel reached the Red Sea, they were still under the blood
. God went ahead in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire at night
Exodus 13:21. They were trapped by enemies in back, and had a raging sea in
front, but the blood provided a path through the waters.
Psalm 103:2-5 ”Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all
His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving-kindness
and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your
youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
No matter what the test, trial, trouble, or temptation; and no
matter how impassible the barrier, or impossible the situation—whether
angry waves, a fiery furnace, a den of lions, or a physical attack of the
devil—With God all things are possible Matthew 19:26. There are over ten
Bible references saying “with God all things [certainly the healing of our
body] are possible.” | x***x
