I thought a positive uplifting thread would be nice. List your testimony or Biblical reason why it is God’s will to heal.

I’ll start:

it is Gods will to heal because He is compassionate and His compassion never changes.

He was moved with compassion and healed them.

I hope you don't mind if I share a different perspective. I believe it's God will that I not be healed from the medical issues that have afflicted my life since I was an infant, because they have purpose to my life and have endowed my life with purpose. I've been treated with compassion and love, but not with having my medical issues healed. I was just hospitalized last week, my third of the year. There's been chronic struggles, grief, frustration. Tears and anger and fury. But the struggles have absolutely given me strength. They're taught me to be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. To persevere.

It's felt at times like my life is a complex jigsaw puzzle and I'm receiving more pieces as I grow, to fit into place and see the picture. The plan for my life. The way things have been orchestrated have left me awestruck and certain of God's will.

I can elaborate if you're curious, if that's permitted. I'm not sure if I'm able to post here or it's restricted to a specific denomination. I also have a midterm in the morning so I can't stay on here any longer tonight. But I will expand when I can, if I can, if you'd like. :)

Why does God heal? Jesus, while on earth, said look at the signs and wonders "If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in Him. John 10:37-38

Is the Father in us ???

Are His works through us evidence of this?

Instead of the usual flow, I thought maybe this one started by hisletgacy might actually be an uplifting thread.

Certainly didnt mean to imply that He hasn't delegated His authority to us!!!!

Signs and wonders still point to Him.

God has done all that He will do already. Prayer does help bring people to see that His will is already done. But receiving the correct prayers, people will see miracles happen. These are sign and wonders, in the correct spirit.

Actually I thought you post was great - Just underlining that He is in us doing His work...

AB Simpson, in his Gospel of Healing, makes the point that every generation needs to experience the manifest works of God afresh in order to believe.

But I would say above all that healing, which Jesus called "the children's bread", is an ongoing expression of the Father's love for us.

When Jesus was on earth, not everyone in the geographical area wes healed. But those who appealed to Him for themselves or others were healed. Yet He's not limited by distance as shown with the Centurion who recognized His power and authority.

He extends His hand to heal Acts 4:30

Not all healing is physical, to which your post gives powerful testimony.

God has brought so many good things out of all your sufferings.
Blessed be the name of the Lord!

... and may He continue to bless. :)

"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him." (James 1:12)

Also because He believed it so much He sent His Son to DIE for it. Too many people stop with Salvation at the work of the Cross, but on it He also PAID for the healing. He physically endured what He did SO WE CAN BE HEALED. To not accept that is to cheapen the sacrifice of my King and lessen His love for us.

Isaiah 53:5 "But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed."
