\u00a0<\/strong>Miraculous Healing Is Possible for All Believers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At one of my\u00a0Gospel Truth Seminars<\/em>, I ministered to a man who had detached retinas. I was standing right in front of him, and he said I was just a blur.<\/p>\n

With the service about to start, I only had a moment to minister, so I told him to come forward at the end, and one of our prayer ministers would continue the process. He did and, after further ministry, gave a great testimony. Not only could he see me clearly, but he could see the faces of the people at the back of the auditorium. Thank You, Jesus! That\u2019s a miracle.<\/p>\n

In the same service, a woman came forward whose eyes were clouded with cataracts. She could barely see, but after the prayer minister prayed for her, the white glaze over her eyes was gone, and she said her eyesight was great. Another man came off the oxygen tank he had been attached to for months. Deaf ears were opened; cancers were cured; and backs were healed. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n

You Don\u2019t Need to Be a Minister to Perform Miracles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The most exciting thing to me about these miracles is that I\u2019m NOT the one who prayed for most of these people.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t
<\/span><\/p>\n

I used to be the one doing all of the ministry. Don\u2019t misunderstand; I enjoy ministering God\u2019s healing to people. But, as the crowds grew, it became difficult to pray for everyone. I often prayed with people till after midnight, and yet there were many more that couldn\u2019t stay and left without their healing.<\/p>\n

Now that we have prayer ministers, hundreds of people can be ministered to each night. Many more miracles are taking place, and it\u2019s especially satisfying to see them experience the same and even better results than I do.<\/p>\n

I think this sends a much needed signal to all who will listen: television ministers are not the only ones who can operate in this miraculous power of God. Praise God for the true men and women of God on television, but Jesus said that believers will lay hands on the sick, and the sick will recover (Mark 16:18). The job of the minister is to train the body of Christ so that they can do the work of the ministry (Eph. 4:11-12). The day of the one-man show in the body of Christ needs to come to an end, and we\u2019re literally seeing that take place in our meetings.<\/p>\n

Some of the prayer ministers we train have never seen a miracle happen through them before. I remember one man who helped us at a seminar. He received the pre-seminar instruction and training, and on the very first night saw a person\u2019s blind eyes open when he prayed. He told us the next day that he was so excited, he didn\u2019t sleep all night. Not only did the blind person get healed, but I can guarantee you, that young man will never be the same. That is awesome!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You Can Pray for Healing\u2014and See Results<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Would you like to see the blind receive their sight or the lame walk when you pray? Do you desperately need healing yourself? Here\u2019s the good news\u2014whether you\u2019re praying for another\u2019s healing or receiving your own, it\u2019s available to every true follower of Christ! Jesus gave every disciple who believes the power and authority to do the same works that He did. What a statement! But it is absolutely true.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater\u00a0<\/em>works\u00a0than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 John 14:12<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

All believers will do the same works that Jesus did; it\u2019s not limited to ministers. There\u2019s just a shortage of believing believers.<\/p>\n

Faith for Healing Begins with Knowing God\u2019s Word<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How do you get to the place where you can see the miraculous happen in and through you? It starts with the renewing of your mind. Faith is based on knowledge, and everything we need to know to be a victorious Christian is explained in God\u2019s Word. That\u2019s what the Apostle Peter said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that\u00a0<\/em>pertain\u00a0unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 2 Peter 1:3-4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Knowledge of a few basic truths, when properly understood and applied, will make a huge difference in releasing God\u2019s power and receiving your healing.<\/p>\n

One of the most important things the Lord has ever shown me is that God has already placed His healing power within us, and it is now under our authority. It isn\u2019t up to God to determine who receives healing; it\u2019s up to us. That\u2019s a powerful statement. It\u2019s our failure to understand and use the authority we have that is keeping God\u2019s healing power from flowing as it should.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s imperative that we discover what we have and learn how to release it. If you don\u2019t have my teaching entitled\u00a0The Believer\u2019s Authority<\/em>, you need to get it. It\u2019ll not only affect the way you receive and minister healing, but it\u2019ll change the entire way you relate to God. It\u2019s a powerful teaching based on God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n

Sickness Is Not from God<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s another indispensable basic truth you must know and understand about healing: \u00a0It\u2019s never God\u2019s will for us to be sick; He wants every person healed every time. That\u2019s nearly-too-good-to-be-true news, but that\u2019s the Gospel.<\/p>\n

Most Christians don\u2019t know or believe that. They think the Lord makes them sick, or at the very least, He allows Satan to make them sick to either punish or correct them. That kind of thinking will get you killed; it\u2019s not what the Bible teaches.<\/p>\n

One of the most elementary principles in God\u2019s Word is given in James 4:7. It says,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

This verse clearly teaches that some things are of God, and some things are of the devil. Notice it doesn\u2019t present a third category: from God through the devil. No! Sickness has nothing to do with God. Submit to the things of God, and resist the things of the devil. It\u2019s that simple.<\/p>\n

To believe that God allows or approves of Satan\u2019s actions defies the logic of James 4:7. It eliminates our responsibility to resist and places ultimate responsibility for everything back on God.<\/p>\n

The widely-accepted doctrine that God controls everything is a deception. If Satan can confuse and deceive you on that issue, he\u2019s got you! Why? Because you\u2019ll stop resisting. As a Christian, you don\u2019t want to resist God\u2019s will, and if you think that God is behind your sickness, you\u2019ll submit to it. But that violates the instruction of James 4:7, it won\u2019t get you healed, and it lets Satan have his way in your life.<\/p>\n

God Wants You Healed Without Exception<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You must believe what the Bible clearly teaches\u2014that God always<\/em> wants you healed. It\u2019s so simple, it takes help to misunderstand. But sadly, most Christians receive plenty of help from religion in misunderstanding this.<\/p>\n

Look at it this way: If God wanted you sick, for whatever reason, then why visit the doctor or take medication? It would seem more logical to allow the sickness to run its course so God\u2019s purpose could be accomplished. Of course I think that\u2019s foolish, and hopefully, so do you.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the bottom line on God\u2019s will for our healing? His Word reveals that to us in 3 John 2, which says,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

John was writing a letter to believers under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He revealed that the Lord wants us healthy just as much as He wants us to prosper emotionally and mentally.<\/p>\n

Jesus Healed All<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When Peter preached the Gospel to Cornelius in Acts 10:38, he summarized the ministry of Jesus by saying,<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today some preachers are saying that healing is of the devil, but that\u2019s not the message Peter gave. Notice what Peter said under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Not only was Jesus doing good when He healed people, but He healed all that were oppressed of the devil,\u00a0not of God<\/u>. That scripture clearly proves that sickness is not from God.<\/p>\n

Christ\u2019s Atonement Secured Both Healing and Forgiveness<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Isaiah 53 should end all debate on this topic. It was written prophetically about Jesus, the Messiah.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he\u00a0<\/em>was\u00a0wounded for our transgressions, he\u00a0<\/em>was\u00a0bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace\u00a0<\/em>was\u00a0upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013Isaiah 53:4-5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

These verses reveal that\u00a0physical healing is a part of the atonement of Christ.<\/strong>\u00a0The Lord redeemed us from sickness just as much as He redeemed us from sin. He would no more want us to be sick than He would want us to sin.<\/p>\n

Those are radical statements to many Christians because we\u2019ve been taught that forgiveness of sins is what salvation is all about. Well that\u2019s certainly a vital part of salvation, but that\u2019s not all that Jesus accomplished. We were also healed by His stripes. Sickness is not of God just as sin is not of God. Thank You, Jesus!<\/p>\n

Jesus Bore Our Sicknesses\u2014So You Don\u2019t Have To<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just in case anyone might be thinking that the healing spoken of in Isaiah 53:4-5 is not physical but only emotional, the Bible gives a commentary on Isaiah\u2019s prophecy. In Matthew 8:16 Jesus healed all the sick people brought to Him, and verse 17 says this was done:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare\u00a0<\/em>our\u00a0sicknesses.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, Scripture comments on itself and makes it very clear that the healing spoken of by Isaiah is referring to physical infirmities and sicknesses. If Jesus bore our sicknesses, then we don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

You may be asking yourself, \u201cWhat about Paul\u2019s thorn in the flesh?\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0I wish I had space to answer that in this article because those scriptures are not talking about a sickness of Paul\u2019s that the Lord would not heal.<\/p>\n

However, I do have an entire teaching series called\u00a0God Wants You Well<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/em>that reveals what Paul\u2019s thorn in the flesh was. It deals with some really important revelation about it, why people are not healed, and how healing is governed by spiritual laws.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to take advantage of my full teaching on this topic and get equipped to minister healing to others as well as receive it for yourself.<\/p>\n
