Many people think that, sickness is natural, so they don’t see healing as important. For some, there’s no need to pray when disease comes. Others say, God gave them the sickness so they think it is his will not to heal them.

Do you know it is God’s will to heal everyone? The whole Bible is full of verses where Jesus himself as God healed many people. The healing of the blind, lame, maimed, mute, deaf and demon-possessed were common place in those days. Everyone who came to him with faith, received a miracle.

Mathew 8:16,  When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

Out of love and compassion for us, God sent Jesus to show us we have a relationship with him.

In John 14:9, he said he who has seen Jesus has seen the Father. God and Jesus never gave sicknesses to anyone. On the contrary, when a leper or sick person came to him for healing, Jesus, full of compassion, told the leper, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

Is God willing to give us healing?

God is willing and ready to give us healing for every aspect of our lives. Every part like All about us. Healing doesn’t only imply health when we are sick in the body. Healing extends to financial, emotional and even mentally. 

Wasting time to think, your broken situation is the plan of God to make you learn something, is a popular myth. It is funny that some people say God wants me sick, but they go to the Doctors, take medications and rest. God created the plants used to make the medicines. Whether we recognize it or not, that’s still part of his love for us.

In summary, God wants us to be well and healed. 

If you still doubt how much God is willing to see us healthy, check out his prophecy of what Jesus will do to us through Prophet Isaiah.

Isaiah 53:3-11

He was despised and rejected by mankind,
    a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
    he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

 Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
    each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.

 He was oppressed and afflicted,
    yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
    and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
 By oppression and judgment he was taken away.
    Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
    for the transgression of my people he was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
    and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
    nor was any deceit in his mouth.

 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
    and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
After he has suffered,
    he will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by his knowledge, my righteous servant will justify many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.

What does God want us to do?

If you are sick in any area of your life, know that God did not give you the disease or problem. 

God is all powerful. He could’ve saved us without dying. Yet, he suffered and died to make us see how he relates with our suffering and life. 

I recommend you search all healing miracles of Jesus and spend time reading. You will see that, Jesus was happy to heal everyone who was sick. 

Exodus 15:26.  He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.”

He wants us well. 

All we need to do is to believe in him. We have to have that unwaving strong conviction which says God’s with us, and he wants us to be in the healthiest state of mind and body.

If we call upon his name, he is ready to respond if we will just call upon him. If you didn’t know, healing is our right. Jesus paid it all on the cross. Every stripe on his body was a significance of our peace and health. He paid the price for our healing.

Healing is our right

So if the devil says, and he always does that you cannot be healed,”just declare”, Jesus has paid for my healing, disease has no right to be in my body. I am healed in Jesus’ name!”

Did you know that every curse of sickness that was supposed to fall on you fell on Jesus instead? He bore every one of those painful stripes on his body, so that you and I can walk in divine health all the days of our lives. The price has been paid so that we can rise up and get out of our bed of affliction in celebration.

Regardless of what you are experiencing today, God has healed that marriage, job situation, relationship and body. In his perfect time, he will make it manifest, so let’s rejoice in hope and Thanksgiving.
