Who Needs To Be Convinced. God or Us?
"How do we know God's will about healing?"
1. We pray for God to heal. If healing occurs it means it is His will, if not it means it is not His will.
OR
2. We believe what His words say Isaiah 53:4 “Behold, He has borne our affliction (sickness) And brought our sorrow (sickness);” Psalm 103:2 “Who forgives ALL (not "some") of your iniquities, Who cure ALL of your ailments."
"How do we get divine healing?"
1. Assure God that we will optimise our good deeds in return, try our best to be perfect - Trust in our ability to please Him
OR
2. Even though God says in His Word (Isaiah 53:4, Psalm 103:2, etc.) it doesn't mean He always wants us to be healed, it could also mean spiritual healing. So in this case there is no certainty, this is a divine mystery, God is sovereign to do things that are different from His will which is written in His word.
OR
3. In the problems we face we are the one that need to be convinced that He loves us unconditionally (John 3:16). We believe that His will is in His word. Jesus bore our sins & sicknesses on the cross & by His grace He made His life (including healing) available to us - Trusting in His grace (Isaiah 53:4, Psalm 103:5, etc).
How did the woman with bleeding pain find her healing in Matthew 9:21?
Did she convince Jesus to heal him and eventually heal him, OR
did she convince herself to take his healing from the Lord Jesus? Matthew 9:21: "She said to himself, "If I just touch his robe, I will be healed."
What if it is actually God who is trying to convince us that He really likes to manifest His love in the form of healing according to His word? We should not think that God's will is changing/not according to His Word just because there is a problem in our life.
Knowing God's heart is a learning process with us associating with His word, and more will be revealed. Let us encourage one another to stand in God's truth. What the world needs now is love. Your loving Creator thinks you are important.
