GOD HEALS IN RESPONSE TO FAITH Pt 1
(PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT MEANT TO TURN INTO THE USUAL DEBATE THREAD.)
Matthew 4:23-24
23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.
Healing here goes along with the preaching of the good news of the kingdom. The gospel of the kingdom includes healing.
Matthew 8:5-7
5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6"Lord," he said, "my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering." 7 Jesus said to him, "I will go and heal him."
The centurion exercised faith and his servant was healed.
Matthew 8:13
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour.
It will be done as you believed.
Matthew 8:14-15
14 When Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.
Peter had faith and his mother-in- law was healed.
Matthew 8:16-17
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. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases."
He healed all and this was a fulfilment of Isaiah 53.
Matthew 9:6-8
6 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home." 7 And the man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to men.
The paralytic had to exercise faith to obey the words of Jesus
Matthew 9:22
22 Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.
Healed by faith after touching the hem of his garment in faith
Matthew 9:25
25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.
Jairus had faith and his daughter was healed
Matthew 9:28-30
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied. 29 Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you"; 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this."
ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH IT WILL BE DONE UNTO YOU
Matthew 9:33
33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
Kingdom authority includes deliverance.
Matthew 10:1
1 He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
He gave the disciples authority to heal every disease and sickness.
Matthew 12:13
13 Then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other.
By faith the man stretched out his hand and he was healed.
Matthew 12:22
22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.
Deliverance for the afflicted.
Matthew 13:58
58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
They were not healed because of lack of faith.
Matthew 17:16-21
16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him." 17 "O unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me." 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?" 20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Faith even such as a mustard seed can move mountains.
