Of course it is! And after reading this, you shouldn’t doubt God’s will for healing ever ever EVER again either and also be able to answer the question: ‘Is Healing Always God’s Will?’ just as quickly with just as much confidence and boldness!

1 Tim 2:3-4 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (NKJV)

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (NKJV)

Honestly answer the following 6 questions for yourself based on what you believe about salvation.

a)      What is God’s will for salvation?

b)      Does He want every person saved?

c)      Can a person be saved anytime anywhere?

d)      Does a person have to do anything to earn salvation?

e)      Does God save people irrespective of the magnitude and type of sin they are in?

f)       What is only requirement for salvation?

Next, try to answer the same questions again but now think about healing instead of salvation.

a)      What is God’s will for healing?

b)      Does He want every person healed?

c)      Can a person be healed anytime anywhere?

d)      Does a person have to do anything to earn healing?

e)      Does God heal people irrespective of the magnitude and type of sin they are in?

f)       What is the only requirement for healing?

Did ALL your answers about salvation match ALL your answers about healing? If not, you need to pay very close attention the next part. If it can be proven to you (from scripture) that not only salvation, but also healing is provided through the atonement, then you can’t in good conscience differentiate between God’s will for salvation and God’s will for healing ever again. You will have to conclude that they are the same, always and forever.

Isa 53:4-5 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. (NKJV)

This is a prophesy about Jesus’ atonement crucifixion and what is going to take place there. Griefs is the Greek word ‘Choliy’ meaning sickness, disease, anxiety, calamity, infirmity and griefs. Sorrows is the Greek word ‘Makob’ meaning anguish, affliction, pain, and sorrow. Both words are ALWAYS used when referring to physical sicknesses, physical pain and physical infirmities. By His stripes (which He received at the whipping post) we ARE healed.

Matt 8:16-17 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.” (NKJV)

Matthew quotes Isaiah’s prophesy and uses the proper meanings of the words by saying He took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. Jesus healed physical people of physical sicknesses and cast out actual demons in order to fulfill this prophesy. But the actual fulfillment is not only in the healing and the casting out; it’s also in receiving the stripes which happened later.

1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed. (NKJV)

This is a reference to the same prophesy and fulfillment. Jesus not only became sin for us but He also bore the punishment for our sins so we don’t have to. By His stripes we WERE healed. This has changed from present to past tense signifying that the provision has been made already. There is nothing left to do to provide for healing. Jesus did it all perfectly. It is FINISHED!

There were 2 parts to the one atonement:

1. The beating at the whipping post was the first part where His physical body was broken for us, providing us with physical healing. (1 Pet 2:24) Symbolized by breaking bread.
2. The death on the cross was the second part of the same atonement which provided for the salvation of our spirits. (Rom 5:8) Symbolized by the wine.

Now the question I often get is, ‘If healing is already provided for and accomplished, why are we not all just healed?’ Well, if salvation is provided for and accomplished, why are we not all just saved? It takes faith! God’s will is for all mankind to be saved and healed, but His will doesn’t automatically come to pass. It has to be taken by faith. God’s will is for all mankind to be saved, yet some go to hell. That proves God’s will is not automatically spontaneously and sovereignly done. Same with healing: It is God’s will that all mankind be healed but it takes faith to make the connection. He has offered salvation and healing to all mankind freely and sovereignly. If God’s will for healing and salvation were different, it would be impossible to have faith for healing because you can’t have faith in a changing will. If His will for salvation stands unchanged forever, so does His will for healing because it was provided through the same atonement. That is why you can have faith for it!

If you were to reason that somebody was not healed because ‘God is sovereign and can do what He wants to’, then how sure are you that you were even saved using the same logic? If you say somebody was not healed because of God’s timing, then how sure are you that you got saved when you believe you did and that God didn’t have another time in mind to save you? Everything you believe about salvation is exactly true for healing too. Both are always God’s will at all times. Do you ever doubt that God wants to save somebody? Then why do you doubt that He wants to heal them?

Mark 2:3-12 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 6 And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason about these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” — He said to the paralytic, 11 “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” 12 Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!” (NKJV)

Healing and forgiveness is the same thing to Jesus because they were provided in the same atonement. Healing is to serve as a sign that God also forgives. If God’s will for healing and salvation were different, the healing couldn’t be used as a sign. God’s will for salvation = God’s will for healing. Everything that is true about God’s will for salvation, that anybody can be saved anytime, anywhere regardless of their situation, past, sins or anything else, is true about God’s will for healing. Anybody, anytime, anywhere, regardless of their situation, past, sins or anything else can be healed. GOD WANTS THEM HEALED JUST AS MUCH AS HE WANTS THEM SAVED! As long as you differentiate between God’s will for salvation and God’s will for healing, you will only ever minister in little faith. You have ‘little faith’ (faith in experience) when you believe God wants some people well and others not. It takes faith in God, not experience, to believe He wants to heal all the time, everywhere, any person, no matter what. As long as you believe God changes His mind concerning His will, you will only ever have little faith.

Grow a pair, take God at His Word and step out boldly proclaiming “COME! ALL WHO LABOUR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN. COME ALL WHO ARE SICK AND LOST. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS UNCHANGING, EVER INCREASING AND HERE TO SET YOU FREE! NOW BE FREE AND BE HEALED IN JESUS NAME!”

Come on believers! Give glory to your King by stepping on His enemy! That’s why you have feet!
