One of the biggest obstacles in pursuing healing is understanding in your heart if it is God’s will for you to be healed. 

There are several popular lies propagated by the devil to distract and even defeat us from getting healed.

1. God is mysterious and unknowable; you can not know His will.
2. God is making you sick to teach you something; it is your job to suffer through what ever comes along.

The truth counters both of these lies: God’s will is always healing. The only question is which path does He want you to follow to achieve the healing.

How do we know God’s will is always healing? Follow this chain of logic and see where it takes you.

God’s wants us to know His will. He may think differently than we do, and His ways may be different than our ways, But He asks us specifically to know and understand His will. He would not ask us to understand His will if it were not possible. He even makes it clear that we are being foolish if we do not understand His will.

“So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:17

“…we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,” Colossians 1:9

How do we understand Gods will? It was revealed through Jesus. 

“No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, He has made Him known.” John 1:18

Jesus is the expressed image of God; If you know Jesus you know the Father; If you see Jesus you have seen the Father, He and the Father are one.

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.” Colossians 1:15

“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature.” Hebrews 1:3

“If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:7

“…Whoever has seen me has seen the Father…” John 14:9

“I and the Father are one.” John 10:30

Understand God’s will by looking at what Jesus did, He only did the fathers will.

“So Jesus said to them, ‘When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.’” John 8:28

“So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.’” John 5:19

Jesus Healed all who came to Him in faith.

“And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people.” Matthew 4:23

“When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.” Matthew 8:16

“And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction.” Matthew 9:35

“Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them.” Matthew 15:30

“And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.” Luke 6:19

Questions / Clarificaitons:

1. Did Jesus ever say no to healing anyone? Scripture says He healed ALL who came to Him in Faith.
2. Did Jesus ever say, I will heal you eventually but you need to learn a lesson first? There are no examples of Jesus postponing healing pending learning.  He healed all who came to Him in faith.

If Jesus healed all who came to Him in faith, and Jesus only did the Father’s will, and God is unchanging, then God’s will is healing all who come to Him in faith.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

Believe it is so, and pray it into place in faith.

“Jesus, I believe it is God’s will for me to be healed. Lord, purge any remaining unbelief from my mind and my heart. You are the God who heals, Jesus is your expressed image, an exact copy of your very nature. Jesus, you healed all who came to you in faith. You are unchanging; If Your will was healing back then, Your will is healing now. I believe this in my heart and I confess this in Faith: God’s will is for me to be healed.  I speak your will into place on earth as it is in heaven; I speak healing into place in your name.”

There are many specific paths to healing: Nutrition, Exercise, Physical therapies, Medications, Surgeries, Mind/Heart/Soul Healings, and instantaneous supernatural interventions. God has a specific path for your healing; The key is to ask Him what it is, and then pursue it boldly in faith.
