Teaching (no posting) The doctrine of Divine Healing

[hislegacy]

Physical Healing is the right and privilege of every Believer.

The Doctrine of Divine Healing:​

There are ten major points in the Doctrine of Healing.

1. Sickness and death has come upon the human family because of sin.

a. Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned​

2. Sickness is a curse permitted by God to fall upon man because of his sin and disobedience.

a. Ex 15:26; and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”

b. Duet 28:15-68 – read vs 61 Lists out every disease caused by disobedience.
61 Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the Lord bring upon you until you are destroyed​

3. The devil is the author of disease and death – God is the Author and Giver of life and health, and Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil.

a. Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

b. Luke 13:11-17 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” 13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.”

15 The Lord then answered him and said, “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” 17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

c. Heb 2:14,15 14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage​

4. The benefits of His Atonement

a. Psalm 103:2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,

b. Mark 10:51 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.” 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

c. Matt 9:28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened.​

5. Christ was made a curse for us, in order that we would be free from the curse of sin.

a. Gal 3:10-14

6. In the Atonement, full provision is made for our physical healing as well as our deliverance from the guilt, penalty and power of sin

a. Isa 53:4,5;

b. Matt 8:17

c. 1 Peter 2:24


7. Divine Healing is part of the Gospel –

a. Luke 4:18,19;

Next we look at God's motivation to heal -

Just about everyone believe that He is able to heal - the question rises - will He?

So the next couple lessons are on God's motivations, or why would he heal?

John 3:16 speaks of God's motivation to save - "For God so loved...." God's motivation for salvation is His love. Since God never changes, neither does His motivation.

God's Motivation to heal:

Compassion mean to be moved with compassion from the bowels of love. "the bowels" are the inner most source -

God's innermost source results in compassion. In other words - God is motivated by or through His compassion.

Matt 9:35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.​

​

Matt 14:13 When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

​

Matt 20:33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” 34 So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.​

​

The only place in the New Testament where the will of God was mentioned concerning healing:

Mark 1:40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

​

Mark 9:21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?”​

And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”​

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”​

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”​

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him.​

​

Luke 7:12 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.”

God takes us at our word -

Mark 5:And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.​

​

Notice that the ruler of the synagogue worshiped Jesus first and then made a very powerful statement of what he believed. In the following verses Jesus deals with the woman with the issue of blood and then:

35 While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” 36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”​

​

Jesus is reminding Jairus of what he said when he first asked Jesus to come to his house. In other words - Jesus is telling him to stay with what he believed, not what he heard.
