HEALING
It is God’s will for us to be healed?
Healing and salvation were provided at the same time.
Isa 53:3-5He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Ps 103:2-3 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits– who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases. Jesus carried all our pains and our sicknesses

1 Pet 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

God cares for the sick.
Ps 41:1-3 Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the LORD delivers him in times of trouble. The LORD will protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes. The LORD will sustain him on his sick-bed and restore him from his bed of illness.
Sickness is not from God.
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
God desires for us to be healed.
Jer 33:6 “’Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. God is our Healer.
Exod 15:26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.”
Ps 107:20 He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

How to Receive Healing?
Call the elders to anoint the sick with oil.
James 5:14-15
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
By Prayer
James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
By laying on of hands
Mark 6:5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
Pursue our healing by confessing our healing
Matt 9:21-22 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.
