UNDERSTANDING WHAT
THE BIBLE
SAYS ABOUT HEALING
(Rightly Dividing The Word Of God On The Topic)
By: Norm Rasmussen
Please Help Share God's Best News Gospel
Much misunderstanding, confusion (and even frustration)
can be avoided when we understand that when the Bible uses the word 'Healing',
God is addressing SPIRITUAL wholeness ' SPIRITUAL healing
PRIMARILY. Especially
when healing is mentioned in the New Testament Bible (Other than in the four
gospels where Jesus healed).
Even when we try to understand and
obediently obey James 5:14-16 ' God is talking about SPIRITUAL healing
primarily
when needed (which can also include prayer against demonic attacks [i.e.,
depression, oppression, fear, worry, anxiety, fear, hopelessness, compulsive
sinning ... as some common demonic attacks]). Yes, secondarily, He's also
addressing physical healing in James 5:14-16 ' but when Christians think of
James 5:14-16 as EXCLUSIVELY physical healing ' that is when many people being
prayed for feel let down if they don't receive physical healing.
When we
seek to understand Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:21-26, we must also understand that
God is addressing what the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross accomplished
for those who will receive it: It is what makes them "OKAY!" with God -- "OKAY!"
to receive free pardon for all their sins which qualifies them FREE OF CHARGE
entry into heaven forever upon passing from this life to the next. Stating it a
little differently: SPIRITUAL HEALING - SPIRITUAL WHOLENESS with God regarding
our sins against Him and others is what these two Bible passages are addressing.
Anyone beating "the PHYSCIAL healing drum" using these two portions of scripture
at the exclusion of addressing SPIRITUAL wholeness (Eternal Salvation) with God
primarily are not correctly understanding nor rightly dividing the Word of
Truth.
