Gift of Healings and Simple Faith

The Gift of healing and using faith to receive healing

1 Corinthians 12 teaches about the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. One of these gifts are the gift of healing

People can be healed by reaching out in faith or by the gift of healing. Jesus demonstrated both. Our faith receives from God. Jesus would go up to a person and pray the simple prayer of faith and get the person healed.

Other times the people themselves would have faith to receive from God and Jesus would make it clear that their faith healed them.

Other times the gift of healings would be present and all the people would be healed (Luke 4:40-43, Matthew 12 25).

The gift of healing is like God pouring out his anointing to heal before people reach out in faith. Anyone present at the time who wants healing and reaches out in faith receives it. Whereas using our faith for healing is reaching out to God and receiving what is otherwise not available until we have asked for it. To put all this into two simple statements:

- The gift of healing is like walking into a room and taking what God has already put on the table.

- Receiving healing by simple faith is like walking into a room and asking God to put something on the table for you. You know God wants to give it to you, we just have to ask. Both methods are effective ways of receiving our healing from God.

 

 

Healing Is Part of Our Salvation

"Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."

Five benefits of serving the Lord are mentioned above.

1. Forgiveness from sins
2. Healing of all diseases
3. Redeeming your life from destruction
4. Crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies
5. Satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle

The Lord Jesus heals all disease and sickness. Read the evidence yourself.

Bible reading
Psalm 103: 1-5
Matthew 4:23-25

Prayer

I bless the Lord for His goodness to me.
The Lord Jesus by His death on the cross has washed away my sins and made me pleasing to God.
The blood He shed on the cross has bought about my healing.

One of the benefits of serving the Lord is the healing He brings to my spirit, soul and body.
I thank you Lord for your goodness to me.

Jesus The Healer - Passages to Study

The Psalmist said

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits. Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases" Psalm 103: 2-3 (NIV)

The blood of Jesus that washed away our sins is the same blood that heals us. As long as the blood of Jesus is available these two benefits will always be open to all that receive them by faith.

Jesus ministry involved a lot of teaching, preaching and healing (Matthew 4:23, Acts 10:38). Isaiah 53 gives us a beautiful picture of the ministry and mission of Jesus. The forgiveness of our sins and the healing of our physical bodies are two vital aspects of Christ's ministry to us.
