Luke 2:49“And He said to them, ‘Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?’”
Healing is the Father’s business and we as His children should express His business well!
Matthew 10:8 “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” We have been given the same mandate. GO!!!
TWO BASIC WAYS JESUS MINISTERED HEALING!
“Heal”:—(Therapeuo)is the wisdom of God which releases cures and provides healing … a number of approaches for curing a sickness, which include miraculous healing and casting out demons.
Matthew 8:7 “Jesus said to him, ‘I will come and healhim.’”
“Healed”:—(Iaomai)the power of God which releases miraculous healing and casting out of demons.
Matthew 8:13 “And Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.’ And the servant was healed that very moment.”
John 9:1-7 (NKJV)
Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying,“Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 4 I[a] must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” 6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam”(which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.
Original Greek TextTransition to new thought. Totally unrelated to previous test of thought. Stands alone.
(NIV) John 9:2-3“Rabbi, who sinned, (Gets the blame) this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,”said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.”
John 9:2-3“But in order that the works of God might be revealed in him, it is necessary for us to work the works of the one who sent me while it is day.” Don’t play the blame game! Release the Kingdom!
7 Basic ways healing is ministered
1. Believers Anointing
Mk 16:17-18“And these signs will follow those who believe: … they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
2. Local Church
James 5:14-15“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
3. Anointing
Acts 19:11-12“Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.”
4. Spiritual Gift
1Cor. 12:9-11“…to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, … But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”
5. 5-fold Gift
Peter (Apostle) Acts 9:34“And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately.”
Philip (Evangelist) Acts 8:5-7 “Then Philip went down to the[a] city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. …and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.”
6. Corporate Anointing
Luke 5:17“And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.”
7. The Word
Psalm 107:20“He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.”
Proverbs 4:20 22“My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.”
Acts 3:6-13 Peter and John ministered healing.
“But what I do have that I give to you.”vs. 6 What did Peter have that he was willing to give away?
1. Peter Had Revelation
“By His wounds you have been healed.”1 Peter 2:24
We must get our doctrine right on healing.
2. Peter Had Authority.
“Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.”Luke 9:1 He knew this by experience!
3. Peter Had The Anointing
Acts 1:8Dunamis:– POWER
1John 2:20,27{AMP}“…the anointing … which you received from Him abides [permanently]in you;…”
4. Peter Had The Name
Acts 3:6 “…in [the use of] the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!”
Acts 8:12 “…he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ,…”
5. Peter Had Active Faith
Acts 3:4“Look at us!”
Look(Blepo):– steady, expectant, attentive, and all absorbing stare.
Expect to be used by God every day. The Holy Ghost in you wants to get out!!!
