It is not difficult to believe God when we are
sure He will do what He says He will do.

That is how we got saved! If we know it is His
will to save us, it is easy to believe and get
saved, and nobody can talk us out of it. If we
know it is His will to heal us, it is easy to
believe for healing, and nobody can talk us
out of it.

Remember, it is by faith and not feelings!
We do not base our salvation on if we feel
like or not.....So do not base our healing on
if we feel it or not.

When God commands us to pray for the
sick, He means to pray with faith, not just
praying to be praying. We can not pray in
faith if we do not know His will.

Faith is expecting Him to do what we know
He wants to do and says He will do. When
we have faith, it is not hard for God to do
His will.

Faith has to stand on the will of God only,
not on desires and wishes.

Faith is not believing that God can but that
He will.

We can't say one word for healing and then
ten words against it, and expect to have the
faith for healing (or any other blessing).

It is impossible to boldly claim a blessing
if we are not sure God offers it.

Only if we know the will of God through
the Word of God, will be have the faith to
receive any of the blessings He promises.

Knowing produces faith. . . .and it comes
by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Getting healed is the same as getting saved
or getting any of God's blessings.

The Bible is clear that God's will is to heal.

Each person must be sure of the Word of
God; because it is impossible to have real
faith as long as there is the littlest doubt
as to if it is His will or not.

We know that bodily healing is a mercy
that Jesus who is the same as the Father,
gave to everyone who searched for it.

"The Lord is plentious in mercy unto all
that call upon Him" because His mercy
"endureth forever"; and is "from ever-
lasting to everlasting"; He is "full of mercy"
"over all His works."

His word settles it!
It is written!

When we think of the many people who
are suffering and doctors have given up
because they can't do any more for them,
how great it is to know that Jesus still has
compassion for them just as He did for
those He ministered to when He walked
the earth!

Doubting or ignoring Jesus' love and His
compassion grieves His heart.

It made Him weep over Jerusalem. Most
people are so ill informed on the subject
of healing that it never occurs to them
that there is mercy for the sick. They do
not think of healings and miracles as a
part of His compassion, only forgiveness.

We need that same compassion for those
who are suffering now just as much as
they did then.

Because sickness is always confronting the
people; they should always be taughted the
Word of God of this part of the atonement.

Jesus then and now is moved with compas-
sion toward all who needs His Presence as
'Provider', 'Peace', 'Victory', 'Righteouness',
'Physician' and 'Savior'.

"He keepeth covenant and mercy with all
who love Him to a thousand generations"
Deuteronomy 7:9

It is Jesus' present compassion for the sick
that caused Him to command the elders of
the Church (and even the laymen) to pray
the prayer of faith for the healing of "any
sick" during the Church Age. James 5:14

Jesus' compassion for the sick, since He has
risen, moved Him to establish in the Church
the gifts of faith, the gifts of miracles and
the gifts of healings so the sick can recover
while He is our High Priest throughout the
centuries.

Also in the last chapter of Acts, we find His
compassion manifested from Heaven by
the healing of all on the island of Melita.

While He is our High Priest His compassion
is so great that "He ever liveth to make in-
tercession for us."

Even in the book of Acts in the fifth chapter,
we have proof that Jesus' compassion to the
sick is the same. They brought the multitudes
into the streets of Jerusalem and "they were
healed every one." This was AFTER Jesus
had ascended to the Father and was gone
from the earth.

The Spirit glorifies Jesus by saying that He
is "now touched with the feeling of our in-
firmities".

And that He is
"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today,
and forever." Hebrews 13:8.

The Spirit hasn't come to glorify Jesus by
changing His ministry to the sick while He
is their High Priest. Instead of praying "the
prayer of faith" for their healing, they would
be left in the sick and suffering conditions.

"All that Jesus began to do and to teach until
the day He was taken up" is what He promised
to continue and be greater after He went away.

Jesus said, "When He, the Spirit of Truth is
come. . . .He shall glorify me." The Spirit
can not glorify Jesus if the sick, diseased,
lame, blind, dumb and maimed are to stay
that way.

Since He went away 'even greater works
are to be done'.

Jesus taught and promised the same mercy
and compassion could reach the people while
He is our High Priest in heaven.

His leaving here and going to heaven was to
make a way for all of us to manifest His works
and even greater works than He did.

John 14:12
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth
on me, the works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these shall he do;
because I go unto my Father."

That kind of laborers are needed today, as
the harvest is even greater.

What Jesus did and taught is what He wants
done and taught everywhere in the world. It
wasn't suppose to die out or end. It is the
same Gospel we are to preach all over to
every tongue and nation.

His compassion for the sick became so well
known that the harvest was too much for
one to reap.

The growing amount of people could not
reach Him, He could only tend to a few.
This caused Him to get more laborers out
there and then they grew to where they
had to send out the seventy.

All were empowered to preach and to heal!

"And Jesus went about all the cities and
villages, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and
healing every sickness and every disease
among the people. But when He saw the
multitudes, He was moved with compassion
on them, because they fainted, and were
scattered abroad, as sheep having no shep-
herd. Then said He unto His disciples, the
harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers
are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest that He will send forth laborers
into His harvest. And when He had called
unto Him the twelve, He gave them power
against unclean spirits to cast them out,
and to heal all manner of sicknesses and
all manner of disease. . .and commanded
them, saying. . . .Go, preach. . .heal the sick".
Matthew 9:35 to 10:8

If Jesus and His disciples couldn't get the people
without miracles, does He expect more from
those today?

There would be more saved and filled with the
Holy Spirit when their physical needs are met
than trying to get them to see their need of a
Savior from their sins all of which they can not
see or understand at the beginning.

The same would be today. Just as soon as
it was known in any city that "this same
Jesus" is actually healing the sick; as soon
as the command is obeyed to "make known
His deeds among the people," and His
compassion is "published," the people came
"from every quarter."

Nothing would break down all the barriers,
and bring the people from every quarter, as
it would be when the manifestation of the
Lord's compassion in healing the sick.

In the Bible, as a result of miracles of healing
Jesus' fame was spread abroad, and they came
to Him from every quarter." And "they
followed Him on foot out of the cities," and
"great multitudes came to Him."
'Multitudes!' 'Multitudes!' everywhere.
