“If It Be Thy Will”
Exodus 15:26; 23:25; Isaiah 53:4-6; James 1: 5-8; Hebrews 11:6; I Peter 2:24 ; I John 3:8b

There is no place for vacillation in the Prayer of Faith, for true faith imparts a deep certainty in your spirit that I have heard you, and will grant your petition. It is the earnest Prayer of Faith which will raise up the sick from his bed of suffering, not a feeble prayer which makes allowances for possible failure of that prayer. If you think your prayer will probably fail, it will fail, because you don’t really have that deep knowledge in your spirit that I will answer it! Before you go to pray for someone to receive a miracle,draw aside to be alone with Me first, that I might infuse into your heart My Assurance of Faith that I will be present in power to bring healing, or grant any other miracle which is needed to resolve a crisis.

My sovereign will must always be respected, and when I do not give assurance of immediate healing, there is always a reason for it. But I have promised in My Word to heal My people, and to forgive their sins. Stripes were laid upon the back of My own precious Son to provide healing for the total person, for there was no sickness in this earth before the Fall of Adam. Through Christ’s sufferings for sin, He purchased your right to be made whole, and to walk in divine health and healing. He came to earth to destroy the works of the devil, among which are sicknesses and diseases of every sort. The Children of Israel were promised freedom from sickness and disease, so long as they remained obedient to Me.

Sometimes healing is gradual, or there is a reason it doesn’t immediately manifest. I had My reasons for not removing the Apostle Paul’s thorn in the flesh, even after he had petitioned me three times to do it. Your body is still awaiting its redemption, and is still corruptible. I must constantly renew your strength.

I have seen many ministers pray over sick folk, but these servants of God possessed no more faith than the afflicted one. Some are bound by the constraints of their denominations, and will not receive certain promises of My Word. These men fear invoking the displeasure of their church board or other earthly authority.
I have always taught My people to be submissive toward duly appointed authorities, whether secular or in the Church. But I am the ultimate Authority, and every one of My people must first answer to Me for what they believe, teach and practice. Whenever My Truth is suppressed, My people always pay a bitter price, and the enemy triumphs. Many well-meaning saints have died prematurely because they thought divine healing was no longer for today. It rejoices My heart when one of My children comes home to heaven and is finally freed from earthly suffering. But it is never My perfect will for a life of service for the Kingdom of God to be cut short by sickness and disease.

There are even those preachers who insist that I find sickness a valuable tool to make saints more patient, or to get sin out of their lives. Their faith in the power of Christ’s Blood to sanctify a soul is weak, and they cannot pray for a sick saint’s healing with any confidence. They themselves have been wrongly taught that it brings Me great glory to see My people patiently putting up with the attacks of satan, so it must be My will for them remain ill indefinitely. But these same preachers will rush to the medicine chest whenever they get the slightest headache or feel the first signs of flu. They will pay high insurance premiums so they can rush to their doctors at the first sign of a complaint. If they truly believe that sickness brings Me glory, why don’t they pray for an even worse headache, instead of taking aspirin?

My Son instructed His people to pray that My will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. Are there any sick angels in heaven? Are the saints in Glory sick? If it is My will for them to be well, why shouldn’t you desire to be whole also?

That’s why the spiritual gifts of healing, faith and miracles must be sought for by My people.
