HEALING: A process, often involving medical, surgical, or psychiatric treatment of a pathological condition, that concludes with the functional repair, and sometimes the actual regeneration, of a previously diseased or damaged portion of the mind or body.

The Teachings of Jesus

First Recorded Sermon

Luke 4:17-20  And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

Jesus shows his concern for the sick and infirm.

Declaration of God's Will

Mark 1:40

Lack of Doctrine About Healing

Jesus responded instantly with loving concern to heal the sick; not with doctrine. heal him.


Prophylactic Faith (NT)

Matthew 13:15  For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

You Must Want to be Healed

Lack of desire will nearly always STOP healing.

You Must Believe That God Wants You Healed

Wanting healing is good, but you cannot receive it if you believe that God does not want you healed.

You Must Believe in Forgiveness to be Healed

Mark 11:25

Luke 5:20-25

Live by FAITH Not by FORMULA

You do not get healed by finding the right combination of scriptures to confess!


Jesus The Healer, Not The Physician

A Physician Practices Medicine

Jesus does not need any practice!

Jesus Operates in Compassion to Heal

He lays his hands on people and speaks words of comfort and faith.

John11:38-43  Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

Mark 5:38-39  And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
