I chose this title with mostly the seeker and the casual readers in mind and maybe a few lurkers. This teaching generally comes form Andrew Wommack in his book, God Wants Your Well. There is much uncertainty in the body of Christ that God doesn't heal "ALL." Many believe sickness comes from God in one time or another to teach us something, etc...Below are several passages that prove that Jesus does heal all WHO COMES TO HIM. There is "one incident" in the Gospels out of possible thousands of miracles and healings when He could not heal all. In Mark 6:5 "and he could there do no mighty works, save that he laid his hands upon a "few sick folks," and heal [them]. Jesus was hindered by their unbelief...Can you imagine Jesus returning back tho his home town? They scoffed at him, "isn't this the carpenters son?" Matt 13:55. Commentaries suggest that Jesus, himself worked with his father in a carpentry business unto the age prior to his ministry...They were his neighbors, friends and relatives. They knew him growing up. In Mark 6:4 Jesus said, "a prophet is not without honor, except in his home town and among his relatives and in his own household." Jesus was rejected in his home town. This is the (only time) in Jesus's ministry, (he could not heal all) but only a few sick folk...So now we know that Jesus healed "ALL" whenever and wherever he went, WHEN THEY CAME UNTO HIM.

As far as I know, there was also one situation where the disciples could not heal or cast out a devils themselves. In Matt 17:19-21, then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, "Why could not we cast them out?"
Jesus wasn't pleased with His disciples inability to do this. How did Jesus respond? He declared, "Oh, faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring them here to me." and Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out and the child was healed that very hour. Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief." and "this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting." And by this we know that prayer and fasting does not move God, it moves you.

So again, we know Jesus was not pleased that the disciples could not heal the child, and...the Lord is not pleased "today" that His disciples (us as a whole) aren't seeing all of the sick healed...Ouch!..ouch, and tripple ouch!...It's God's will to heal every single person every single time. The reason this doesn't happen isn't because God fails to do it. It's because His representatives (us as a whole) aren't operating in the fullness of what He's provided for us...This puts the responsibility on us. So why do we not see these kind of healings more manifested today..? What is God waiting for....? He is waiting for "US"

In the following list you will see several incidents where "great multitudes" followed Jesus and "He healed them all." Matt:12:15. Great multitudes in various bible commentaries are defined as, a great number, the masses, numerous no man can number, thousands and thousands, many thousands, myriads of multitudes, and innumerable multitudes etc...
Either way you look at the numbers, there were times He ministered and healed thousands during His ministry to "everyone who came to Him."

In John 21:25, the writer says, "and there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were all written down one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written..."

_______________________________________________________________

Approximately forty-seven other times, the Gospels show Jesus healed one or two people at a time:

Matt. 8:1-4, Matt. 8:5-13, Matt. 8:14-15, Matt 8:28-34, Matt 9:1-8,

Mark 5:1-20, Mark 5:25-34, Mark 5:35-43, Mark 7:24-30, Mark 7:31-37,
Mark 8:22-26, Mark 9:14-29, Mark 10:46-52, Luke 4:33-39, Luke 15:12-15, Luke 5:17-26, Luke 6:6-10, Luke 7:1-10, Luke 7:11-17, Luke 8:27-39,
Luke 8:43-48, Luke 8:49-56, Luke 9:37-42, Luke 11:14, Luke 13:11-17,
Luke 14: 1-5, Luke 18:35-43, Luke 22:51, John 4:46-54, John 5:2-15
John 9:6-7, John 11:43-44.

Is this enough proof that God heals every single one every single time for those who come to Him...

Greater works...

He could not do many miracles there because they saw Him (not by faith), as a man who lived an every day life as they did. Even his disciples said What manner of man is this. This man is the one we walk away from as James had stated when we walk away from the goodness of God/Father that is contained in his word..

What is the power of faith? How is it that a simple opening of one's heart and mind to God allows His power to flow into one's situation and change it for the better? What is it about the faculty of faith that brings us closer to the Lord?

I do not doubt the potency of faith mind you. I am just in awe of what He can accomplish through us provided that our faith allows for it.

JESUS went to the cross to pay our debt.... HE rose from the dead to give us new life... EVERY GOOD THING has ALREADY been obtained FOR us BY JESUS.... it is now a GIFT.... our INHERITANCE....

when we BELIEVE GOD.... trust HIM.... it is like saying YES to HIM.... it is like RECEIVING the gift that HE holds out....

when we doubt HIM.... it is like saying NO to HIM.... and refusing HIS expensive BLOOD-bought gift....

HE is pleased when we say YES to HIM.... we step beyond the natural.... and enter into HIS full kingdom blessing.... when we trust HIM.... and believe HIM.... and agree with HIM.... no matter what our natural senses tell us....

in fact HE is VERY pleased.... when we believe HIM OVER what our senses and contradictory circumstances tell us.... we leave the natural behind.... and we step into supernatural realms... heavenly realms.... seated with HIM.... receiving of HIS glory..... it is awesome.... HIS kingdom power supercedes the natural realm.... and changes the natural to match HIS kingdom standards.... by faith....

One could write volumes of books about the power of faith which initially begins with "choosing" God for His salvation plan for our lives...Everything we receive from God is by our own choosing and we begin by "choosing life" as found in (Deut. 30:19). The beginning of choosing life leads to full obedience to His Word and applying it on a daily basis which is a power of faith within itself. HSWOF2 hit it right on in several areas on the power of faith in her response...The power of faith also begins with God's grace which is much more than just "unmerited favor." God's grace begins it all. Faith does not save us alone, and neither does God's grace, but grace through faith does. (Eph 2:8). So in that sense, grace is the power of faith. As you said it begins with the simple opening of ones heart, mind to God which goes back to choosing and then obedience to Him.

Smith Wigglesworth was a powerful man of God in his time and many have asked him how does God move so great in his life? Smith simply said "only believe" over and over again to them. This was one of his examples of the power of faith.

The power of faith is to be fully persuaded in what you are believing God for...One could start a new thread on the power of faith and the thread would never end...

So true, the same thing can also happen to us even around "our own families and friends."


Harry,

Truly excellent exhortation. Thank you.

Thank "you" for your kind words...
