JESUS IS MY HEALER

 JESUS IS MY HEALER

TEXT: “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases …”   Psalm 103:2-3

I believe in divine healing. In fact, I believe that all healing is divine and is of God. I believe that God uses doctors and nurses and medicine and hospitals and technology.

I do not believe in divine healers. I do not believe that certain people possess the gift of divine healing and can merely pray for and touch somebody and they are instantly and completely healed. It happens sometimes and when it does happen it is all because of God’s amazing grace. If there are healers out there, then let’s go to the hospitals, nursing homes and rehab centers and empty them today!

Jesus healed many people during His earthly ministry but He did not heal all people. Some had faith and some did not. All divine healing lies in the sovereign hands of an omniscient God. Sometimes He chooses to heal in this earthly life. Sometimes the healing must wait until we arrive on the other side. 

The Apostle Paul asked the Lord three times to remove the thorn in his side. Each time the Lord said no. Did Paul lack faith? Did he not believe? God told Paul in II Corinthians 12;7-10, “My grace is sufficient for you; for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

The greatest healing, the most profound miracle is salvation, forgiveness of sin for a sin sick soul! Jesus will ultimately --- in glory --- heal all diseases.
