Does God ALWAYS Heal?

The link to the longer video is found here:

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.

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

[ramonpooser]

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.

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!

[rebekaheager]

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.

If we have to choose between forgiveness or health, I'll take forgiven.

[fleurdelis]

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.

[bdavidgreenwell]

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!

[melodysledgister]

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!

[davidegiaquinto]

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.

[annettashannon]

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.

[LALady]

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.

[jesussaves]

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 )

[kathidori]

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.

[joansmall]

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 😊 💜

[AC-thyj]

Awesome. This really strengthens me. His grace is sufficient for me.
😢🙏🏾🙇🏾‍♀️🙌🏾 thank you Lord Jesus

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.

[taylerthompson]

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.

[kimmeeb]

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

[benpace]

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.
