(All scripture from the NET, netbible.org, all rights reserved)
For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. (For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.) But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:6-8 (emphasis added)
Why is there healing in the Word at all? Think about it. When we were sinners there was NO WAY to understand the ways of Yahweh (Isaiah 55:8). We are so far under Him that there is NOTHING we can do for Him. Our state, our actions, they cannot affect Him. There is nothing we do that He NEEDS. So why? Why do ANYTHING for unrighteous people? Why bother? The angels asked the question too (Psalm 8:4-8). We ALL ask that question. Some decide that He wouldn’t, so there is no god. Some decide that He couldn’t, so He is judgey and smiteful. But Adonai made the way to save us. And those who accepted it received His MIND (1 Corinthians 2:16). We are ABLE to understand the ways of Yahweh (Isaiah 55:12-13). We are lead into understanding of ALL things (2 Timothy 2:7). We have NOT been left alone.
Why? Because He LOVES us. He doesn’t NEED us, He WANTS us. Because of THAT, He does everything He can to get us. Like a lover chasing His beloved. It’s one of the lessons of the Song of Solomon. He wants intimate relationship with us. Because He gave us free will, He chooses to offer and chooses not to force. He CANNOT violate what He set up and still be a JUST God. There is NO ONE like Him
For example, there are several man-made religions all about humans achieving bliss and peace because we learn (through their system) to leave earthly desire behind. Yahweh doesn’t want that for us. He gave this world to us. He made it FOR us. He wants us to leave FLESHLY desires behind. UNRIGHTEOUS desires. He wants us to enjoy a PURE earth. PURE relationship. That doesn’t mean anti-pleasure. That means pleasure (good things) that are pleasurable from HIS point of view [and if you think He’s prudish, read Song of Solomon again].
He LOVES us. He wants the best for us. Now. Sit down and think about sickness, disease, and ANYTHING of ANY kind that makes us less than 100% whole and perfect and good. Why would ANYTHING like that be what He wants? If you say it is to teach us something, you are limiting Him. Do you think the Creator of everything we know and everything we don’t cannot think of a good way to teach us those things? He can USE anything to teach us, but WHY would a loving God SEND them?
Healing is an outward sign of the inner cleanliness He is searching for. Proof that He can do it. Like baptism is the outward sign of the verbal confession of your inner decision of accepting salvation. It is the outward sign that Adonai is capable of changing you on the inside. Of washing away your sin. Of KILLING your old nature so that IT is NEVER a source of issue for you again. EVER.
Healing is for everyone. Healing is for now. Healing is for you. Healing is for me. Why? Because Yahweh loves you. The more you get an understanding of Jesus’ love for you, the more you will get an understanding of how much Adonai wants you whole and healed from EVERYTHING – inside AND out.
Don’t limit Him. Read the Word with intent. Investigate what He thinks of you. See it right there on the page. ALL BLESSING. That doesn’t sound like so much as a case of sniffles is for us.
Daily Affirmation Jesus IS Messiah: Psalm 2:6
““I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy hill.”” Yahweh Himself has installed a KING. Messiah is a KING. A ruler. A divine appointment. Who is this King? The One Yahweh appointed? “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, in the time of King Herod, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem saying, “Where is the one who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”” (Matthew 2:1-2). None other than Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem. Jesus is that king. His sign in the heavens seen by people all over. Worshipped for who He was even in that cradle. The divinely appointed one. Anointed King. Jesus IS Messiah!
