God Wants You Healed by Gloria Copeland

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; and they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all (Luke 6:17-19).
It is God’s will for you to be healed, but your faith cannot operate beyond your knowledge of God’s Word. The Word says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6). In the physical realm this is literally true. The bodies of born-again believers are being destroyed because they do not have the knowledge of God’s Word that it is God’s will for them to be healed. Many die young even though it is not God’s will. God said, “I will take sickness away from the midst of thee…. The number of thy days I will fulfill” (Exodus 23:25-26). He says in Psalm 91:16, “With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.” It is not the will of God for you to die young. It is God’s will for you to live long on the earth without sickness in your midst and to live satisfied!
Healing is not just a New Testament blessing. God has always provided healing for the obedient. Psalm 103:2-3 says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.” Many have forgotten God’s benefit of healing for their bodies. If you had been taught that it is God’s will to heal you in the same way that you have been taught it is God’s will for you to be saved, you would have a different attitude toward sickness. Jesus bore your sicknesses and carried your diseases at the same time and in the same manner that He bore your sins. You are just as free from sickness and disease as you are from sin. You should be as quick to refuse sickness and disease in your body as you are to refuse sin.
