• Are There Scriptures T...
This was my favorite segment of this two-hour video.
Matthew 7:7-8 says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." This was the ultimate scripture used when I was in the New Age for the Law of Attraction, a New Age belief that taught that 'like attracts like'. You can manifest your reality by following this supposed law of the universe that is responding to your thoughts feelings and words. Matthew 7 was called the 'Ask-Believe-Receive' formula. If you ask and you believe, then you will receive it. In many churches, it's used the same way. If you have enough faith and believe without doubting, then God will give you what you desire. So... if that's the case, why have so many not received what they were believing for? What about the healing, help or breakthrough you've been begging God for? Mike does a great job explaining this.
A constant question I get asked is what scriptures really mean when they're misused in such ways by so many. I asked Mike to come on my channel a while ago and break down 10 of the most misused scriptures from the Word of Faith camp and the New Age. I gave him the scripture and explained how it's interpreted by someone in the New Age and Word of Faith. The then breaks down the passage and explains what it actually means.
There are a lot of scriptures that are used to support WoF (Word of Faith) new age/new thought teachings. This is just one and the ones that I see mostly misused in churches and from new age/new thought teachers.

I don't believe that everybody gets healed, but I was. I was in stage 4 cancer in 2016 with 9 months left. I was completely healed. Here in 2021 I am still 100%. I do believe God can heal,.BUT we can ask for His will to be done. In my case, obviously He decided that it should become my testimony. I am very thankful for my healing and trusting God in other areas also, but I do know that all in His time and His Hands and I am so comfortable with that.
Amazing! I was recently healed from lung problems after cov*d 😁
God is impartial. We saw that in Jesus. He healed "ALL" who were oppressed of the devil. Acts 10:38
If people don't get healed, it's every other thing except the will of God that's the reason for that.
I broke my C7 vertebrae about a year and a half ago when I was 18. before my accident I considered myself to be a Christian but I was totally not living a Christian lifestyle. since then my life has completely changed, 1) is that I am paralyzed below my chest and 2) is that I am more faithful and understanding in God‘s word. I have been praying nonstop since my accident for healing, but more than that I have been studying God‘s word and apologetics. i’ve realized that God may or may not heal me, but either way I am way better off now that I know for certain I have eternal salvation with Jesus. if I had the opportunity to go back in time and avoid my accident from happening I don’t think I would, if I kept living my life the way I was I may have never come to the realization so I have now. my favorite verse in the Bible is “what would it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” I often times put a spin on this and ask myself what would it profit me to gain my body back if it means I would lose my soul? it’s a great reminder that there is absolutely nothing in this world more important than your eternity with God. even though my situation totally sucks I am so grateful for it. I do really hope God heals me one day because life has lost its joy for me, but I like to pray as Jesus did at the garden rather than begging for him to heal me.
@@isakhedeen how are you now? Has God healed you?
@@omotovhmercy2557what are other reasons
Yes!! He always heals!! Either here on earth or ultimate healing , taking those who love Him, home to live with Him , (as I believe and trust in Him )
@🌼Brianna Jenell🌼 aww yes!! dear one , wise mother you were blessed with! God bless you 😊
Yes, amen!
This wouldn’t even be a conversation if that cessationism lie was never taught.
God please heal encephalopathy and cancer
If we have to choose between forgiveness or health, I'll take forgiven.
Yes, amen!
you dont have to choose, the same word in scripture is used for both.
@On Fire In Christ Matt 8:17 clears up any confusion
@On Fire In Christ I don't think the verse you are referring to is a promise for healing. The times when Jesus performed miracles of healing were to demonstrate He is the Messiah that Isaiah has spoken of - that He would perform such miracles so the people at that time would be able to recognise that He is the Christ.
It is not a "promise" for us to claim.
People have prayed over my Autism in the church but I didn’t get cured but I feel there’s nothing to be cured of as the Grace of God is sufficient for me
I prayed that God would heal my grandmother of cancer, but she passed away. I was devastated, but the Lord showed me she is now in heaven with Him
My Grandfather died of cancer too my comfort was even seeing him In suffering his faith was so strong!
My mother just passed July 24th 2021 after a six year battle with cancer as well. We prayed God heal her and it was hard when she died. However in the time my mom was sick she gave her life to Christ. That was the good thing that came out of the situation. I miss my mother but I know she is resting safely in the hands of Jesus.
My grandmother also died. My dad was really devastated, but as soon as he stepped up to talk in front of his family at the funeral, my dad kept talking about how faithful my grandma was, how we shouldn't be scared of death, and how we should guide ourselves closer to God. I love God for giving my dad the strength to get through it❤
Genetic diseases? Inherited diseases? Amputees? Is pain better? In the Bible is written all are healed by his stripes... Everybody does like he would know it. But only God knows it, no other person...
Praise the Lord that he gave you wisdom through your loss
At thirteen I began to lose my eyesight. I would close my eyes and pray that God would heal me, and I truly expected to open my eyes and have clear vision again, but it never happened. The silly part is I didn’t tell my parents that it was happening until I was fifteen and went to get my driving permit. After finally going to the eye doctor, I was given contacts that corrected my vision, even though at this point I was legally blind. I still wear the contacts, and I have nearly perfect vision again. My sister, on the other hand, when she was in a major car wreck that should have killed her, was miraculously saved, though she still has some injuries that she suffers with.God heals in many ways, sometimes through miracles, sometimes through medicine, sometimes naturally, and sometimes not until we get to heaven.
So true, God absolutely can heal us. Or he can let us walk with him in our suffering and make us stronger in our faith in the process. We can't fathom the why as his ways are higher than ours, but we can trust him to be faithful and good to us in all circumstances.
You were a precious teenager. God heard you and was pleased by your heart. I don’t know why you weren’t healed but you have a sweet spirit about it. Blessings to your family.
So true 💯
God doesn’t heal through physical medicines. The body heals itself with the aid of medicines. Jesus never said run to the doctor, even though Luke was a physician.
Jesus’s whole ministry was healing. He healed everyone who came for healing. The only time it says he couldn’t heal was because of unbelief and then he went about teaching people how to have faith.
I always find it odd that people use the phrase "Does God Always Heal?" which implies that sometimes he doesnt. The reality is that supernatural healing is extremely rare. The question should be "why so few", ( Im 51, and Ive never actually known anyone to receive a miraculous healing) and "why some categories are seemingly completely excluded"(amputees, blind, paralyzed, etc) ?
I have a huge problem with the "God Always Wants to Heal" mentality. If we believe that he always heals, then the problem is us, and our faith. Which then leads people to horrible discouragement about their faith. If we believe that God doesn't want to heal all the time, then people can fall into the trap that God isn't good, which is equally wrong.
Instead, God can use illness for changes in our lives. How many people have turned to God because of their illnesses? How many times do we know we will suffer because it's for the greater glory of God? Whether or not he heals us is his will and for his glory, not ours. To believe otherwise to me limits God. That, and it's obviously not the experience we see. Christians don't get healed, and die of their illnesses all the time. Good people who had solid faith that are prayed over by the church often don't get that miracle. Why? Because it's not God's will at that time.
And no, I don't believe that he "always heals" is anywhere in the bible in the physical sense. It's true in the spiritual sense that he will heal us from this life, from this body, and from this world when we die and stand before him on the throne. But to suggest we have to receive healing in this life for all things to me is absurd because it presumes your will and a promise that God never made. By his stripes we are healed is NOT a guarantee is physical healing, it's in context of our salvation. It drives me crazy when it's used in the physical sense.
Wise words.
Good message 🙏
Yes!! I surely agree!
It's frustrating because I've ended up disagreeing with family who are praying for me in this way “by His stripes we are healed" that I feel isn't representing God's true character or the meaning of the Bible.
Of course I want healing in this life but I also know that Jesus died for more than these 80-100 years I hope to have on earth.
I ask and I believe in asking for God's will, but as they mentioned with apostle Paul, if there is a greater plan at work that doesn't involve the healing of my earthly body, I have to learn to lean on God and trust His plan completely.
Can I please have your permission to share your comment with the youths in my church. It will help, thank you
My dad was miraculously healed from Stage 4 Hodgkins disease at age 79, which baffled his doctors. Of course I asked God to heal him, and many others prayed for him, too. But no one I'm aware of layed hands on him or prayed any "special" way. God just chose to heal him. He gets all the glory!
I struggled with this for quite some time! I finally realized that God is sovereign! And I don't have to understand everything that happens!
God's sovereignty has been a great comfort to me.
Me 2.
@@MelissaDougherty the great thing is that I'm beginning to learn that! But it was a hard road! I was a part of the faith movement that Kenneth Copeland is involved in. I heard the testimonials about great healing, living in health, prosperity, you name it. Then a dear brother in the Lord died of cancer, after beating it numerous times. I wept like a baby at work, when I heard it, and it crushed my faith for a time! Then I finally understood that God always has the last say in all things, and then I found true peace! And I began to question everything that I had been taught in the word of faith movement! I've made a lot of progress out of that mindset, still not sure about some things I've heard, but now I look to the scripture and don't take things at face value anymore.
@@bdavidgreenwell8298 You are doing well, brother. Keep moving forward with Jesus❣🙏
just cause he is sovereign doesn't mean he doesn't heal his people.
My first symptoms with MS were 30 years ago. I started listening to tapes (?) of evangelists talking about how the Lord would heal me. They gave scriptures and…I prayed to the Lord that no matter what that he not leave me. He hasn’t, and I’ve been healed. It happened more as I walked on the road like the lepers than a big dramatic thing. God bless the readers of this word.
Ramon, I've had a similar experience. PPMS was thought to be my DX 20 years ago until 3 more immediate family members presented with similar and very extensive problems. The healing for me has come through PT, personal exercise (set up a large gym in my RV garage), herbal remedies, and other natural things. In 2001 my Neuro believed I was dying and so we talked about my insurance papers and my Will. Well, God is good, had other plans, and I'm still here. Neuro symptoms are still present but controlled. In the process of healing my body over the years, He has healed me in many other ways, as well. I am thankful beyond words for what He has done for me.
@On Fire In Christ Amen, we are now made sons of God
Can you let me know what you took to heal
@@taeminsgf4275 Yes. I started out wrecklessly taking vitamins. I narrowed it down to some things that I’ve been taking for decades. Any of this stuff you can get at a good health food store. Lots of people swear by a funky little pill. To be serious start with a multivitamin. A good one. Mine is source of life by natures plus. It has so many vitamins and herbs in it that even if I only took it I’d be doing good. For a while I was drinking Sobe power drinks. They quit making them but there were a few vitamins that made the drink work. Taurine, creative, and proline. To get them I take max-amino caps from country life and creatine monohydrate from bodytech. Turmeric, evening primrose, garlic, and extra magnesium for my heart. I feel self conscious about little aches and pains in my chest from time to time and I think the magnesium is making my heart behave. You’ll know the magnesium is working if your stool gets very soft. Nothing to worry about. Drink liquid chlorophyll concentrate, a teaspoon in a glass once or twice a day and you should see results. The multi is a little pricy but so is losing your health. I’ll add this. The mantra that the neuro doctors chant is that everyone’s illness is different, and that my regimen may not be for you. This is right. They fail to say the same things about all the pharmaceuticals that they push, and that’s not fair. I figured that there was no big rush to try the pharma drugs because I was already in pain so a little time to check out the vitamins wouldn’t hurt anything. I’m glad I did. Every day isn’t perfect and when I get tired I can stagger like a drunk but I just make sure I get good rest. I hope this helps. Another thing. Nothing will work if you can’t maintain a good positive outlook. God always heals. Always. Sometimes the healing comes at the resurrection, sometimes a divine touch and the move of the Holy Spirit. It could be a combination of things, like vitamins and herbs, but this is God’s business. This list is my little part, but nothing works when your mind is jacked up. There are prayer channels here, and people who preach of the father’s love and mercy. It hasn’t been easy but the Lord is still here. September 2, 1991 was the very day I first felt my symptoms and the Lord never left me. He won’t leave you either. God bless you!
@@taeminsgf4275 Keep close to Ps. 91 and Rom. 8:18, among others.
Mike, your chronic back pain is probably from sitting in your chair studying for millions of hours so that we can understand God’s word better, but we are so grateful for your suffering!❤️
Yes, I agree, Mike. I had terrible chonic back pain, too, for years, until I started exercising a different way. If you are interested, ask, and I will tell you what I do. It takes only 20-25 minutes a day.
Those same hours he's pouring in to the Bible, each of us should be doing as well. GOD reveals his truths to us in HIS word.
@@Jaisha26 Yes :)
With Paul's thorn in his side from 2 Corinthians, it makes a great image how God can allow physical ailments to keep us humble. I can imagine that I would act like an invincible jerk if I didn't live with back and hip pain.
Same! I have a few 'thorns' that definitely keep me in check. It's so odd how we can welcome these things when we see how if it weren't there we'd have a pride issue.
@On Fire In Christ Not all thorns are physical, but a physical ailment CAN act similar to how Paul describes his "thorn"--like how OP describes their chronic pain.
@@MelissaDougherty the only other place a thorn in the flesh is used in scripture, it also does not refer to a physical ailment, but, just like paul, persecution from others.
I was told that Paul did NOT have a physical infirmity and the rson I am not healed is because I am lazy and then was told I had a spirit of divination. I am a born again believer and know the Word and to Whom I belong. Divination?? I have come across these condemning spirits before, disguised as a "special" teacher of what Jesus "wants" ... They are dangerous.
God is Good! I’ve spent my entire life with chronic migraines God has chosen not to take this pain from me, but my faith stays strong even in suffering! This verse has given me so much comfort knowing I’m not the only one that has suffered and I feel connected to Paul in this way!
This is my experience too, I couldn't get pregnant and have a child. I KNOW, God does, or doesn't, what's the best for me. With all the times of hurt about it, I get Gods peace in my heart.
May you get it too..
He told me to go the Neurologist, (even though I'd been to one years before, and they couldn't really do anything). So I listened, and made an appointment anyway, and between making the appointment, and actually going to the appointment, a new class of drugs had been released (a few years ago). Research indicates that a certain protein is more prevalent in migraineurs, and these new medications manage that protein. The new medications are also much safer than nsaids, opioids, etc.
So, I hope this helps.
Maybe suffering happens for a reason, even if we haven't been healed "yet".
Also, check out 'Preventa Migraine', as a daily preventative.
Amen 🙏🏼
A good acupuncturist can cure migraine in a fortnight. You should find one
I don't know. There is not one single example in scripture where Jesus tells someone "I'm not gonna heal you, because it's God's will for you to be sick", or anything of that sort. There is Mark 6 which says that Jesus _could_ not do many miracles there (not that he didn't want to; and even in this example he still did). And Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13,8), and God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10,34).
Also, Paul's thorn in the flesh (which we don't even know for sure whether it is an illness or something else) is identified as a messenger of _satan_, so how can you say it's from God?
I don't dare to declare what the truth is in this matter, but if I had to decide, I would be careful to just blame it on God and his will. I think it's more likely that we humans, and our unbelief and doubt, are the reason for miracles not happening.
If it's about our faith or unbelief what about that part in Matthew where it says if you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can move mountains? There's nothing there that says you need a big faith for something big. There are so many believers out there who ask and still don't get a healing.
I really struggle to accept all of my health problems. I contracted 2 chronic illnesses around age 25. The first took 18 months to diagnose, the second a few months later. Then in my late 30's I was in an accident leaving me with 3 herniated discus and cracked vertabre. Finally, 2 years ago at age 54 a man broke in to my room and tried to rape me. I fought him off by putting my feet in to His stomach and pushing as hard as I could, shredding my knees hips and groin. It's close to 4:00 am and I have been awake due to pain since a little after 1:00.
I get very depressed. It took my Social Security Disability benefit 30 years to reach half my 1990 salary. I live in a motel room. Just a bedroom and bath. I fear I am only a couple years from homelessness at most.
Please pray that God would help me understand how He is working this all together for good. I do Love Him. I am called. But I'm also discouraged.
Hang in there Nida. Just know that The Lord is with you, and He'll never leave nor forsake you.
Nida, I know this is 2 years later, but I'm praying for you and wondering how you are doing.
I have a rare genetic disorder that I spontaneously got and none of my siblings did. It's been one thing after another all my life, until the big one that almost took my life. But He spared me then too. Im also the only Christian in my family, also the black sheep. I thank God because he accepted me into his family. If I had not been sick, would I have run to him? I don't know and don't ever want to know. 🙌👑❤
Short answer to the title, No.
My father was blinded in WWII. He became a Pastor, minister, teacher, and missionary/evangelist.
He prayed for many people to be healed, and they were. Yet he was not healed of blindness.
He went HOME at the age of 92 and was still blind, 70+ years after the wound.
HOWEVER!!
The first face he saw when he opened his eyes in Eternity was ...
Yeshua!
We don't have to understand here in Time.
Blessings,

It's always God's will to heal you but you can't force him to do it. You just need to align yourself(right motives) with his will and you will see his glorious manifest -Psalm 37:4
Hannah kept on asking from God out of her own will but received her request after surrendering it into the will of God. Every situation is meant
to provoke your faith to the result but if you stay complacent about it then you will have no results on it. Hannah's husband almost made her to be
comfortable with her discomfort(am I not more than ten sons).
Your sickness doesn't mean that God is keeping you humble.
God doesn't want his children sick because it was part of why he died on the cross.
He bore our infirmities - Matthew 8:17
"By His stripes, we were healed"
I struggle with this one too....I've wrestled alot with it because there's certain things I've taken to the Lord for several years and asked him for healing. I don't believe it's God's will for us to be sick and in pain. It's not who he is or his character
@@christopherbrewer4421 AMEN!
@@christopherbrewer4421 Jesus healed the paralytic by saying " your sins are forgiven " - Luke 5-25
After Jesus had healed the the man at the pool of Bethesda who had been invalid for 38yrs he went ahead to tell him to "go and sin no more"- John 5:14.
Jesus coming physically here on earth to died in our place was to give us ethernal and the power of sin(over all infirmities, afflictions or diseases and death). This is why we see gift of the Holy Spirit with "the working of miracles and healing"- 1 Corinthians 12.
Stop praising God for bondages he died for and what he has given you power over - Matt 8:17
This reminds me of a David Wilkerson sermon I heard the other day. In it he said "keep me broken Lord." I didn't understand that until after. You see, I've been sick for about 9 months now and have been praying for healing. However, I honestly know that if I had not gotten sick, I would not have been seeking the Lord so much. So, today, I thank God for my sickness, because it brought me closer to Him. I'm still praying for healing, but come what may, I trust God and rest in knowing that He is in control and knows what's best for me.
Proverbs 4:20-22: “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life into those that find them and health to all their flesh.
also, it is not new age to exercise faith in the atonement for healing.
healing, as is salvation, is dependent on your faith. it's not a blab it and grab it scripture.
Aren’t we supposed to “Lay hands on the sick and they shall recover Mark 16:18”? And that Jesus told us to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils, freely ye have received, freely give -Matthew 10:8” ?
“And when he had called into him his disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease- Matthew 10:1” so when it comes to that aren’t we supposed to just do what he told us to do? God already gave it, now we just have to be the body of the head and do it? Jesus never prayed about healing he only commanded. So doesn’t that mean it IS Gods will that everyone is to be healed, When we go and lay hands on the sick? But the glory isn’t to us it is to him. That’s what I was taught, is that correct? I am sincerely asking.
Your videos are really helpful I enjoy them.
Update, I have been doing research because this video really did erk me and I think that the teaching have been taught is what is called the word of faith movement. I’m not sure but it seems that way. Yours and Allen Par’s videos really helped me.
But I am still confused because I just thought that because his disciples were told to heal the sick raise the dead and to cast out devil that we were supposed to, too. And that we had power over all sickness and disease, but only in Christ. A video explaining that wood really be helpful. Not for just me but also my family
Actually I have no clue if it is from the word of faith it is different in some ways.
You’re right. It is typically a word of faith movement teaching. Continue down the path of learning about that NAR movement (New Apostolic Reformation) you will see the problems in it…there’s a great movie called America Gospel that may help. Outside of the Charismatic denominations, it’s largely taught by the church that the Spiritual gifts of healing, prophecy, and tongues, the “sign gifts” ceased after the apostles work was complete with the info needed for the New Testament. We can even see those gifts slowing down in Scripture. Paul said they will cease in 1 Cor 13., when completeness comes. Not all believers agree on what completeness means. This is understood as a cessationist view….the sign gifts cessated with the Apostles. The continuists view hold that the gifts continue until this day. Both views have Biblical teaching by to support them. But, what we see, and what I assume promoted this video, is that some Christians put their faith in signs and wonders, like those Spiritual gifts, almost looking like an idolatry…as if Jesus isn’t sufficient without healings, etc. there’s many problems with that. There’s far too many believing Christians who have not experienced healing in this life to believe that God heals everyone who asks, either physically or mentally. Personally, my belief is that the Lord does still heal and miracles do happen, but not always and not by our power the way in the way it happened in the time of the NT. There are many videos here on you tube you can watch that explain the different teachings. Pray that the Holy Spirit will illuminate Scripture so that your understanding will increase, so He can be best glorified through your life. It seems He always provides a way to that when we ask! Try not to get caught up in understanding the Spiritual gifts if it becomes an argument in your mind or with others. Whether healing happens in this life or not, something all followers of Christ should agree on is that healing absolutely occurs on the day we enter eternity 💜 I hope this helped a little.
@@lilimccarthy8664 Thank you so much 😊
17 times in the Gospels Jesus healed all present that came to Him for Healing. There are 21 individual accounts of Jesus healing one or two people. Some accounts are recorded once, some twice and some three times for a total of 47 times throughout the Gospels. NOT ONE time did Jesus refuse healing to anyone who came to Him. NOT ONE time did Jesus say that this sickness is from God and that the said sickness glorifies God so you keep it. NOT ONCE. The Bible plainly teaches that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Jesus only did the will of the Father in His life and Ministry. (John 5:19, 6:38). In many of the accounts it is specifically said that the person’s faith was the determining factor for them receiving the healing. In other accounts their faith is referenced. In Luke 13:10-15 Jesus specifically said that the woman's sickness was a result of her being bound by Satan not God.
At 7:25 minutes this dude says that Paul’s suffering was given to him by God even though it has a demonic element to it. Really if God and Satan are working together (they are not) we don’t stand a chance. Paul’s thorn in the flesh was not a sickness. And it was given to him ( because of the abundance of revelations that he had concerning the Grace of God) to specifically buffet (hinder) him by Satan. The scripture says a messenger of Satan, lest I be exalted beyond measure. Paul did not have a problem with pride and did not need humbling. The exalting here refers to a Godly exaltation that happens when you preach and teach the Gospel from the revelation you receive from spending imitate time with God and His Word. This Godly exalting opens doors for you to preach and teach the Gospel and draws people to GOD through you and sets them free. In Acts 28:3-5 Paul after being bitten by a viper shook it and suffered no harm. He then laid hands on Publius' father who had a fever and healed him and then everyone else who were sick on the island of Malta (Acts 28:8-9) Please read your Bibles Y all are missing it. God Bless.
I totally agree with you about Jesus still healing today as he did when He walked on this earth. I think hindrances can prevent a healing from manifesting and instead of people asking God what’s in the way, they assume He is saying no. It concerns me that so many are agreeing with this teaching and, possibly suffering and dying unnecessarily because of it. I wonder what James 3:1 means when teachers will be judged more harshly.
@@roseconroy6309 Thank You Rose. They are suffering because of this false teaching. To think that God has a different will for each person concerning healing (something Jesus suffered and died for) is insane. The Bible clearly teaches that God is no respecter of persons. Yes the hindrances are on our end and God gave us His Word and His Spirit to eliminate them and develop our faith to receive.
I'm walking living proof Jesus is still healing.
Preach it.
Thank you so much. I found God because of chronic back pain and I‘m still suffering with this pain in the flesh. BUT he healed my soul and spirit which will always be more valuable in my eyes than healing the body (the spirit lives forever but the body is going to die). God heals everything, but not always in this earthly life. God’s will and God’s timing can at times be very challenging to accept for us because wa want healing Now. He is almighty and wise, so we should fully trust him. God’s Grace is enough. May God bless you all. Love one another.
YES, God ALWAYS HEALS HIS OWN CHILDREN, ALWAYS!!!! If the person is a believer a Christian (saved, born again, whatever term you use) YES, God ALWAYS heals His own children. Here’s how… if He doesn’t heal us in this world and we pass away, in heaven we are completely and totally HEALED! So, my friend had Covid and was on a ventilator for 2 months, we begged The Lord for healing and truly believed God could heal him even when the doctors said “there’s nothing else we can do” we still believed. He passed away and God answered our prayers because he is now totally and completely healed, just as we asked. Gods way is not always our way, but HIS way is ALWAYS BEST!
Sometimes the answer is, "No." Sometimes it is, "Yes, but not in your time but mine." And yet, all answers are for the glory of God.
Where is the scripture for this?
Wow, what a revelation for me, I have doubted myself so many times because of others hinting it's my unbelief. I've always, always have come back to this and today was just another confirmation that my chronic illness keeps me humble. I've really struggled with this for years and at one point had no hope and turned away from God, but He always reminds me how much He loves me. Thank you 😊 💜
Thank you for this teaching. It goes well with an other video
I heard, from an other preacher, he said, that pride is one of the strongest barriers, that holds us back from God . When we humble us ( WE must humble ourself, not God must humble us...), we get closer to Him.
So, illnesses or other obstacles in life, can help us, to humble ourself and to ask first for His will.
People who believe we will always be healed or should be need to answer one question: when do they draw the line? we all will grow old, our bodies will fail, and we eventually die? Will we insist on miraculous healing throughout this whole progress and live forever? Certainly not. Miraculous healing is not the norm. My legs were wrecked in a motorcycle accident. There was some unexpected healing but also I lost half my right leg eventually. God made me stronger in this weakness. God is good.
What does your biological clock running out of time, have to do with healing. All men are appointed to die one time. Whether your health is good or not you will die one day.
@@KyrieEleisonMaranatha it has everything to do with it. My point is that people who hold to that view draw an arbitrary line somewhere at which it’s ok to let people start to deteriorate and finally die. Hope this makes sense.
@@rejoicingbones no they don't. We start to deteriorate and die because of old age. What does healing do for that. You can't be healed from old age. We all get old and we all die.
@@KyrieEleisonMaranatha I’m wondering if we’re saying the same thing? It’s been awhile since I saw this. If we are disagreeing then it’s in this: people don’t die from “old age.” When older people die, it’s because of organ failure, disease - something that would be “healed” if said person was, say, in their thirties.
@@rejoicingbones we die of old age buddy. The reason the organs didn't fail at 30. Is because the organs were only 30 years old. As we get older the organs get older and they eventually become to old up function properly. My point is why would God heal you from this. When the Bible clearly teaches all men are to live and die one time. Why would God heal you to keep you living longer than other humans. You aren't making any sense.
A lot of the objections made are answered pretty well in the DHT by Curry Blake.
The thorn in the flesh example must be taken in context just like all scripture.
The phrase thorn in the flesh always refers to people. Think of the persecution Paul endured.
God did not remove that because he promised persecution, not sickness.
I’m still puzzled that the flock of the Good Shepherd are sick and crippled. I’m not of the gab it and grab it bunch but this study is quite curious.
So far, my conclusion about prayer is that we cannot pray in faith for anything. All we are left with is a holy hope so. If God comes through for us, HAPPY DANCE. If not we carry on anyway. If you apply this level of uncertainty to salvation it gets scary!! I have struggled with that often. “What if Jesus said no when I asked Him to save me?”
After much prayer I think that I understand. 🥳
Awesome. This really strengthens me. His grace is sufficient for me.
😢🙏🏾🙇🏾♀️🙌🏾 thank you Lord Jesus
The lord didn’t heal my mom when she was battling cancer but he made her so strong and peaceful. Witnessing this power brought me closer to god.
As someone who struggles with mental illness this is a question I have struggled with for a long time. It made me at times question my faith. Mike’s answer that God is so much bigger then our thoughts and our ways is perfect and scriptural. I would say that we should also not give up asking for healing and to keep asking for wisdom and strength to face whatever challenges we may face. The story of Job also comes to mind a lot as well as Paul’s thorn in the flesh. At the very least I am able to empathize with those who question the faith and are suffering as well.
Before watching, I was taught in a sermon that the "ask and you shall receive" only applies to the promises that have been given. Guaranteed prosperity and health in this lifetime aren't one of them.
This is my personal struggle with God and Scripture. If Jesus says "ask and you shall receive", "if you believe without doubting you will receive it" or "whatever you ask in my name I will do it", then why do we have to find excuses later when you asked but didn't receive, believed but didn't get it and asked in his Name but nothing happened? And I'm not talking about private jets, I'm talking about my loved ones' lives and salvation. Neither did they get healed, nor do I have strong reasons to believe they were saved when they died...
Because it is about Gods will being done not our will.
@@christyfloyd2887 may I ask, is it God's will for people to suffer and die, and then go to hell?
@@alejandrobravoh6613 God does not send anybody to hell. We have freewill and we choose to send ourselves to hell if we dont accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Jesus died for us so we dont have to go to hell to pay for our sins. That is why it's called the Good News.
@@alejandrobravoh6613 I think that salvation is like marriage. You both have to choose each other. It require love and free will. Forcing someone who doesn't love you to marry you is not good. Heaven is going to be the eternal worship of God. Anyone who doesn't love God wouldn't enjoy heaven.
You're not going to find the answers you want in channels like this one that doesn't seem to believe in modern-day miracles aside from salvation. There are certain things that can hinder us from receiving healing. Unbelief, sin, and demonic opposition, and giving up are common things that can hinder us. Fasting and praying help remove unbelief. Repent from your sins, and ask God if you show you something you might need to repent from. In some cases, we might not realize we're sinning against God because it seems harmless. Sometimes you must go into spiritual warfare and fight for your healing. But if you don't know there is that you have to fight for it, it's going to feel like your prayers are not getting answered. You might end up giving up and losing hope. Also, you might need the power of agreement. You can ask other Christians to help support you in prayer. Especially if you are unfamiliar with spiritual warfare.
I have also come to understand that asking for whatever you want, is not necessarily a good thing, God in His ultimate wisdom knows that my relationship with money especially if i had a lot of it would perhaps lead me away from Him and have myself kept busy with toys, luxuries and other temporary worldly things that would burn away infront of God on judgement day.
Being totally deaf in my left ear, although a tremendous challenge since a little boy especially in normal school, has now in my late 30's made me realise we all have things that keep us grounded in our risen Christ..."weakness" and "suffering" things of the flesh is to glorify God our Father Elohim!
Beside sleeping on my good ear allows me to rest in perfect silence...quite a benefit. :)
Jesus didn’t get a prayer answered ONE time and u make an ENTIRE theology about it?
I have known people of faith that have prayed to god for healing in their lives and not received what they prayed for and they have asked God why. Years later I've talked to them and they said that people have come up to them and told them that because of the examples they have shown in those times it has helped others though their own hard times when they needed healing.
God uses us in ways we might not see till months and years later.
This is one of the best explanations of these verses and concepts (with examples!) that I've ever seen. Thank you for this snippet of what looks like a great conversation. Keep 'em coming! 😁
I think people forget it's God will not ours.just because we don't get healed don't mean he can't
God is sovereign. That means He does as He pleases. He does not need to explain Himself.
I was so discouraged in my faith because I've suffered from depression for years. When I was first baptized, it went away for a time, but then came back with a vengeance. I thought maybe I wasn't doing enough or that God was somehow mad at me, and I thought that I was doing something wrong because I kept hearing all these stories about peoples' depression being "cured" when they became Christian.
I stopped asking God to take it from me and asked instead to help me bear it, and He answered that. He led me to doctors and I ended up on medication, which I strongly resisted at first. But now I see that it was God working through men to answer my prayer to help me bear the depression, because I was at a point where I couldn't even roll out of bed for literal days. Now I'm eating, showering, reading the Bible regularly, and I'm so so grateful that God led me to this point of darkness so He can show me that He is the only way. And now, He has shown me a light out of it and I cannot praise Him enough for it
According to the word healing belongs to us and was paid in the atonement we just have to receive it. Sickness is not his will. Keep speaking his word.
I don't think God's Will for anyone is illness. About 99.999% of the time God's Will is healing. In rare exceptions does He allow some illness to take place, for some special purpose, like in Paul's case. All the suffering has to be in sake of God, and I don't see in 99.9999% of cases any glory to God in illness. One of my eyes is -10, only through that eye I see everything very blurred. Through that God freed me from military service, which is mandatory in my country. It is not that He couldn't free me otherwise, but this way I was confident and completely not anxious, so it served it's purpose. Glory to God forever and ever.
Now I don't think there is anymore God's Will in my eye being this way, so I can confidently ask for healing in Jesus' name. Apostles were allowed to be beaten up, because their suffering and martyrdom is powerful confirmation of their message, which serves to the Glory of God. But they knew it in advance, they were not being beaten up and thinking why is this happening to me. So I think God's Will is healing for most of the time, also would you give illness to your child? No, obviously not. Then why should our infinitely better Father in Heaven desire it for us? That would be very strange. Jesus healed everyone, everyone who asked Him, no one was told "it is not God's Will for you". And so did Apostles, not one case of rejection. I think we should be confident that God will heal us 99% of the time, and reveal that last 1% that "not now", so that they will not be tormented thinking what is going on.
My mother's friend's mother was in cancer not long ago. God revealed that they should pray for young women who cannot have children, and pray also in tongues, they did it so and she was delivered from last stage, completely, where there was no hope from medicine, now she is completely healed. We were not sure why is that going on at that moment, but we received message about what we should do and when it will go off, so I personally was very confident that she would get healed when the time is right. So I think healing glorifies God, and so is good. Thinking this way we would really have faith in God's power and Will to heal, to receive the answer to prayer.
So I will try to geow in understanding, so that I could pray and give confidence to others, that they may also be healed. God bless
FALLING AWAY comes from failed prophecies, promises and prayers
This really helped my understanding when it comes to praying for healing. Thank you so much Melissa, you're videos are extremely helpful.
Some people treat God as a personal genie in a bottle. Give me good heath give me a spouse give me money material things. Instead of God I want too be in your will I want too get too know more of you I want a strong relationship with you God.
The Bible says that God already provided healing according to 1 Peter 2:24. Let's see: "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." (emphasis mine). So, healing is something we can receive just like salvation, because Jesus already purchased it for us. The Holy Spirit backs up these promises when we appropriate it individually by faith.
My girlfriend believes that God healed her from ADHD but being with her for almost 2 years now this is simply & sadly not the case. Her behavior & attitudes would beg the differ yet she’s still clinging on to the fact that she was. She’s in complete denial even after a professional diagnosed her with having ADHD. She had stop taking her Meds months ago & her behavior has gotten a lot worse because she believes she’s 100% healed but It’s so hard for her to accept the fact that sometimes it’s not always in God’s Will to heal everyone. She doesn’t want to have ADHD. Being around folks who say it’s always Gods Will to heal everyone is frustrating when you know personally that’s not always the case. But when I tell her about this she gets very defensive & says how could you say that? I’m not being harsh with her am I? This is reality. She can still live a prosperous & fruitful life having ADHD. Many Christians do.
So, does God alter His will and plans if I pray for something good and pious -not selfish, hurtful, or silly-? I have been praying for God to provide the conditions of possibility for the eradication of rape, domestic violence, and child abuse. I thought that would bring more Glory to Him and more faithful life for humans around the world. Will He respond?
God has all power but he doesn't like to heal every time because it pains his heart to see people happy..after listening to this podcast I saw truth..good bye Lord Jesus..even if an imperfect father has power of healing he would heal his children..he wouldn't enjoy their suffering find glory in their tears..iam tired and started looking for answers today I found God has power but he will heal if he is in good mood...
So you're going to completely give up on God and choose to burn in hell for eternity because you don't like that you didn't get what YOU want?
Suffering is hard and it sucks but if God healed everyone and there'd be no suffering then no one would die. God does not delight in the misery of human beings, the rain falls on all the good and bad in this world equally. God doesn't owe you anything, in fact you and literally everyone has sinned against him and hurt him. God can give and he can take away, be thankful he hasn't killed you and you're even alive right now. It does pain God to watch his creation suffer, that's why he gave us a gift of salvation through Jesus christ and if we choose him and give our lives to him we can be free. The truth will set us free and that truth is Jesus Christ.
If God always heals, then you would never die in order to go to heaven to be with the Lord. I find it strange when people say they are cancer survivors. Do they not think they are going to die of something eventually? And wouldn’t you rather know what you are going to die from? Personally, I wouldn’t want to be cured of cancer! I don’t really want to be here! I want to go HOME! Amen?
If you are in such a rush maybe we can kill our shelf😮
So good
God's ways are perfect. Thank you for sharing this clip. Hope you would give us a discussion on the claim, "everyone who came to Jesus for healing got healed therefore everyone who asks Jesus for healing would be healed". In addition to this there is another teaching that even those who were brought to Jesus by others (may be friends or relatives) for healing also got healed.
@Susan Alexander: "everyone who came to Jesus for healing got healed." So there were no unbelievers in Jesus's time that didn't get healed?
concerning healing, let's base our theology on the examples of scripture. Jesus healed them all. Jesus made them every whit whole. To state that it is God's desire for one to suffer with sickness is to wrest the word of God. What the video should have been about is what prevents people from receiving healing or how to be healed. There are many hindrances to receiving healing but the greatest is unbelief, which requires one to wrest the word of God. We KNOW God's will by reading and believing God's word. Healing is part of the atonement but there are many things that can hinder one's healing. some of these are unforgiveness, unbelief, demonization, addictions, mental and emotional traumas, etc. I notice that within this video there is not one example given where Jesus asked the Father whether it was His will before He healed those that came to Him. Paul's thorn in the flesh was a DEMON sent to BUFFET him. This clearly in scripture represented the resistance he suffered in ministry. Paul suffering for preaching the gospel has nothing to do with accepting that it is God's will to be sick. When are you going to invite me on sister to present the other side of the spectrum?
lets just let the word break it down whether healing for our bodies is provided in the atonement.
Matthew 8:16-17
16When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with word, and healed all that were sick: 17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare sicknesses.
we don't base doctrine on carnal reasoning, we base it on the word of God, whether or not you have experienced healing does not negate God's word concerning healing.
he made them every whit whole
Soul-Salvation
Body-Healing
Spirit-Deliverance
So Paul had a demon he couldn't get rid of but they got rid of all demons in Mathew 8:16?

You need read what I posted again
This just came across my timeline, despite being two years old and MAN…I needed this! Such a powerful message here. Jesus is Lord!
Our spiritual condition and/or someone else’s spiritual condition including our spiritual growth is more important to God than our physical condition. He sees the big picture we can’t see.
How does Jesus choose who to heal and who not to heal? Why does Jesus heal some yet not others?
look around you,see you anyone healed,maybe 1%
Taking a step back for a moment, and I think that the stories of Jesus healing the sick could themselves be false idols. While I believe they're there to demonstrate how Jesus is the Son of God, some people may misconstrue the Gospel by only focusing on these passages while forgetting about "carrying one's cross and following Jesus."
How can a miracle performed by Jesus be a false idol. When false idols are the worship of a created object as god.
woah… this makes things completely understandable. 7:35
Thank you for posting this clip! :)
I’m so glad you guys are on TH-cam! People need Biblical teaching/clarification.
James elaborates on what we should be asking for that would be given to us is wisdom, that only Holy Spirit gives.
Thank you so much for all your videos on this! Even teetering on the edge of such beliefs is scary. My mother in law has been damaged by the type of mindset. She's been sick for over 20 years and was expected to die, but God still has her around. She has dibilatating pain and all sorts of horrible symptoms. I have prayed for her so much and still do. It was really hard to talk with her about her healing besides the "I am praying for you" because she's had so many people tell her that maybe she needed more faith and needed to pray harder. The amount of depression in itself is dibilatating when you are told such things. I finally asked her about what God has told her when it comes to her health. Her eyes filled with tears as she told me that God told her He will heal her when He calls her home. Until then she chooses to not be bitter and angry over her health, but to see the blessings that God has given her and she knows God is using her situation to bless others. I am in awe to her endurance and child like faith. She has every right to be a bitter, angry woman, but even through all the problems and fears she endures, she still faithfully makes the choice to be a faithful servant to God. In the end she knows Who she is going to and that's what matters. I find that her faith is so inspirational as it can be hard to endure the thorns in our side on a daily basis. I personally struggle with enduring pain without becoming bitter about it. I've been learning so much from her and am soaking as much wisdom up from her while she is still here with us.
I also appreciate how you bring parental experiences into this. Toddlers can ask for the craziest things, not knowing the outcome. I am so thankful to have God's correction when we tend to do or ask for such things, not knowing the dangers ahead.
NO GOD DOES NOT ALWAYS HEAL I CAN SHOW YOU THROUGH SCRIPTURE
Yeah the word of faith movement they believe in that name it claim it heresy
This was a wonderful video, thank you.
Eventually... in our new bodies ❤
Yes. Life isn't comfort . Stop acting like the main character, be the support character you are
I love your videos Sister Melissa, but:
It is always God’s Will to Heal. We don’t have to beg our Heavenly Father to do want He wants to do on Earth as it is in Heaven [Matthew 6:10], there’s no sickness or illness in Heaven. God is Jehovah Rapha one of his characteristics is that he is the Healer, the Lord was willing to heal all in the past [Matthew 15:30, Matthew 4:23]. He wasn't picking and choosing and even instructed the Twelve to do the same “Freely you have received, Freely Give” He never told them to be stingy but to give freely [Matthew 10:5-8]. He is the same in the past, present, and future [Hebrews 13:8, Malachi 3:6]. He's not a favor of person [Acts 10:34] and He still has compassion for healing the sick [Matthew 14:14] just as much as He did while he was walking on this Earth. He did His will through people, the Apostles were called to make disciples and obey the same commands they received from Jesus [Matthew 28:19-20]. Which included the Great Commission, Philip and Stephen weren't Apostles and they performed Miracles [Acts 8:13][Acts 6:8] even the Early Church were performing Miracles and the Apostle Paul was saying these are Elementary Teachings of Christianity [Hebrews 6:1-3]. Once God says something it does not return void [Isaiah 55:11] and that means [Mark 16:17-18] still applies today, it wasn't just for the Apostles it was for Believers and the signs follow which means we as believers need to act first before the signs follow. If God never retracted His command then it is still for today. Once God said Light Be, Light still is today [Genesis 1:3]. It even says in [3 John 2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”] Which means He still wants us to be in good health. The Early Church and the Apostles never begged for God to heal a person, God gave them authority in Jesus’s name [Matthew 10:1, Mark 16:17-18, Luke 10:19]. Which is the name above sickness, disease and above every work the Devil does. Sickness didn't come from God to teach a lesson it came from the Devil which is one of the reasons why Jesus came to destroy the works of the enemy [John 10:10, 1 John 3:8]. Believers weren’t operating on their authority, but they were operating on the authority given to them by Jesus [Matthew 10:1, Mark 16:17-18, Luke 10:19]. Just like how a Cop has authority from the government, they don’t operate in their own authority, they use the authority the government has given them.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't mean that God's Word on Healing is wrong. It means that there's a Faith issue and you didn't have enough Faith [Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 17:19-20, James 5:15]. It doesn’t mean that it is not God’s will for them to be healed like stated above [Acts 10:34, Matthew 14:14, 3 John 2] God does not favor people, he does not want some people healed and some not, Sickness does not come from Him, and He wants us to be in good health. A Good Father does not break His Child’s arm to prove a lesson. But if an enemy broke His Child’s Arm, He would want it to be Healed and if He is willing to Heal one of His Children, He’s willing to Heal all His Children because He is not a favor of person. He offered them Jesus just as much as anyone else. Why would God want to prevent a missionary placing them in a Wheel Chair if it hinders them from doing God's Will of spreading the Gospel to every living creature? [Mark 16:15]
So basically no
Timely and great message.
The only time Jesus speaks about people don’t get healed is because they have no faith.
I only believe in Jesus words.
Read your Bible. Jesus heals and wants us to be healed.
1. Healing? Are we praying to keep the saints out of heaven?
2. Some are healed to bring them or others to God, some are not healed to bring them or others to God. He knows what we need and what will bring him glory.
3. Some, like me and the apostle Paul, have limitations put on us to keep us humble.
Careful now , what you focus on persists! Ask? Beg? God is not a vending machine! Praise God and thank him for healing you! Thank him that you are strong! Blessed!
A dear believer in our community is dying of pancreatic cancer as we speak. She is in God’s hands and she/her family/community trust that He knows better than we do! She will be perfected upon Christ’s return!
Prayer is to accomplish God's purposes not our own. At 2:46 it's doubtful, she likely already was a narcissist either covert or overt and with this new knowledge grew outward increase manifestation of the narsisism behavior and conflict with other worldviews of people. Exactly, all self willing is idolatry. Only as I remain humble can God release his power through me! Amen
There are wicked people who think God is smiling on them because they are healthy and wealthy. Solomon was totally puzzled at why the godly seems to suffer while the wicked seemed to be so well-off.
I broke my C7 vertebrae about a year and a half ago when I was 18. before my accident I considered myself to be a Christian but I was totally not living a Christian lifestyle. since then my life has completely changed, 1) is that I am paralyzed below my chest and 2) is that I am more faithful and understanding in God‘s word. I have been praying nonstop since my accident for healing, but more than that I have been studying God‘s word and apologetics. i’ve realized that God may or may not heal me, but either way I am way better off now that I know for certain I have eternal salvation with Jesus. if I had the opportunity to go back in time and avoid my accident from happening I don’t think I would, if I kept living my life the way I was I may have never come to the realization so I have now. my favorite verse in the Bible is “what would it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” I often times put a spin on this and ask myself what would it profit me to gain my body back if it means I would lose my soul? it’s a great reminder that there is absolutely nothing in this world more important than your eternity with God. even though my situation totally sucks I am so grateful for it. I do really hope God heals me one day because life has lost its joy for me, but I like to pray as Jesus did at the garden rather than begging for him to heal me.
Today's devotion Isaiah 55:8 .. indeed his ways are not our ways. 26 ,not so great eyesight for as long as I can remember and chronic back and sometimes knee pain. It's very unpleasant, but I look at it as it could always be worse.
Dr Sarnos book on back pain . Phenomenal, not new age no woo woo. Just brain body science , never had back pain again, along with thousands of others. God bless.
Thank you so much for this.
My mind has been spinning with healing and different teaching.
Needed to hear this!
In 2 Cor 2 it says 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. What I want to say is most of us haven't been caught up to the third heaven that we may boast. I was wondering if this truly pertains to us? that if we have a sickness or disease it is to keep us humble?
A sad example of explaining this verse away: I was taught that “My grace is sufficient” meant God already gave Paul the power and authority to get rid of the thorn himself and he should do so already… 😢🙄
Same!!!
This verse and the explanation i hear now makes it more clear to me.. Thank you.
I have learned to say ‘Healing is provider for in the atonement, but not guaranteed.’
I guess you can ask Jesus says you must carry your cross if we are going to follow him.
The whole sermon on the Mount is for those who will be in the thousand year period after the second coming of Christ.
Mathew 7: 7 this verse talks about salvation.
Can you make a video on the “evil eye”? I see tons of people with it
The ad though: "let me tell you the secret of 'The Secret'." 😅
Amen to this. Thank God for leading me here. I needed to hear this. 🙏🙌
Sometimes God heals and sometimes he doesn't and it's ok.
Wow perfect this topic which i expected
That was powerful thank you!
