“ Is There Not A God Who Heals?”
Reference: II Kings Chapter 1
It’s not that there is no more Divine Healing. It’s just that people do not believe it. When the average person is sick today, they seek for the doctor and not God because they believe not in Divine healing.
Understand that healing only comes from God. The doctor can set a broken bone and send the patient home but only God can heal the bone back together. The surgeon can remove the cancer but only God can heal the wounded tissue from the surgery.
Yet many do not seek God first for their healing. They seek other means.
Ahaziah enquire of Baalzebub about his accident.
Let’s read:
2 Kings 1:1-3 “Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. [2] And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baal–zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease. [3] But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baal–zebub the god of Ekron?”
It’s not because there is no Divine Healing today. It because people simply do not believe it.
God heals by our faith. He has already healed us when He went to the Cross. We simply have to accept that healing by believing.
Mark 5:34 “And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.”
We are saved by faith. Without faith we cannot be saved. We are healed by the same faith (believing).
We continue our reading:
2 Kings 1:4-10 “Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed. [5] And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back? [6] And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal–zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. [7] And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words? [8] And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. [9] Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down. [10] And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.”
They knew there was the Healing God. They have seen His power and miracles through Elijah. But they would not go to Him because of the blindness of unbelief. They will rather believe the god of their own making.
We continue our reading:
2 Kings 1:11-17 “Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly. [12] And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. [13] And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight. [14] Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight. [15] And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king. [16] And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal–zebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. [17] So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.”
Many so-called believers will die today because someone has told them there is no longer divine healing. They will die because they’ve believed a lie. They will die in their simplicity instead of believing that Christ has already paid for their healing when He was on the Cross.
Isaiah 53:5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
That’s our Abstract Deed. That scripture has not changed. It’s men and women who no longer believe the Abstract Deed.
Believe the Word of God and let the word of every man or woman be a lie.
We conclude our reading:
2 Kings 1:18 “Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?”
Ahaziah died while his healing stood right in front of him.
Don’t die with your disease because of unbelief. He is the same Healer yesterday, today, and forever.
When a person begins to hunger and thirst after righteousness, then God the Healer moves. It’s not how well we can sing, preach or shout. It’s by coming the prescribed way of God which is by His finished work of the Cross. Our faith to accept the finished work of the Cross for our healing is the answer to all our diseases.
Let the Word of God alone be true. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Salvation (healing) is spiritual and physical, all by the means of the Cross, in Christ!
