There has been long standing doctrinal debates on the healing of Jesus. Who gets healed,who doesn't and when. There is a doctrine called Word of Faith which teaches that everyone can and should experience immediate healing the moment they ask God for it. When they are not healed, the sad outcome of millions that believe this false doctrine, go away disillusioned, let down, defeated and not good enough. They think there is something wrong with their faith. They then begin to try giving every last penny they have to charlatan ministries like the poor during Jesus day who had to purchase doves in the market places. Who did so with slim hope the God of Israel might look their way.
The only people who make out with this doctrine are those who promise healing for a price. When Jesus was alive on earth, we know that He went about healing everyone that was sick with many diseases, mental illnesses and demonic oppression. The only reason He healed everyone was to show Satan that His Kingdom of Heaven was there to take over. It was a declaration of war. Now that Jesus is in heaven, we are given the great commission. In Luke 4:18-19, Jesus said, " 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." This is the same commission that we are given. Yet in the matter of healing, it is in His sovereign right to heal a person immediately, or over a long period of time for His very good reasons.
If Jesus were to heal everyone instantly, the vast majority of them would be like the nine Lepers that Jesus healed. They went their way to show themselves to the priest, but the tenth one was the only one that returned to fall down at His feet to thank Him. As a person is slowly healed, it is because they have continued in faith to keep thanking Jesus, and to trust Him. Carving the words on their hearts, "My grace is sufficient for thee. My strength is made perfect in weakness" Even in the darkest, most painful, unbearable paths of their journey, they go to meet the Lord in deeper worship and potent aromatic love. When another wave of healing takes place year after year, they become a great wealth of comfort, richness of mercies of God, and potent pure love that pours out of them into other lives. Those who are quickly healed, though grateful will never know this glorious heavenly beauty. It is important to rest in the everlasting Arm of His love, and as He pours in healing, your life will resemble heavenly citizens. "We Count Them Happy That Endure."
