‘Every curse of sickness that was supposed to fall on you fell on Jesus instead. Is that an accurate teaching of Scripture? Joseph Prince Īndrew Wommack is an American Charismatic TV evangelist and faith healer now based in Colorado Springs CO. That’s nearly-too-good-to-be-true news, but that’s the Gospel ( Faith for Healing Is Based on Knowledge, emphasis in original). Here’s another indispensable basic truth you must know and understand about healing: It’s never God’s will for us to be sick He wants every person healed every time. Įlsewhere Wommack continues his teaching on healing: There needs to be a radical renewing of our thinking on this issue ( Our Authority Releases God’s Power, emphasis in original). If we don’t take our authority and become commanders instead of beggars, God’s power will not be released. But, I also believe that God has placed His healing power under our authority, and it is up to us to release it. We’re constantly told that it’s not us but God who is the Healer, and I agree with that totally. I know this goes contrary to popular Christian doctrine. Understanding and using our authority is the key to seeing miracles happen…. God has already provided His healing power and placed it on the inside of every born-again believer. One of the least understood, and therefore seldom practiced, is the fact that healing is under the authority of the believer. There are a number of keys to seeing the miraculous power of God manifest on a consistent basis. We’ll examine its biblical authenticity below: I find Wommack’s teaching especially concerning. Prayer doesn’t save the sick the prayer of faith saves the sick ( Healing & Niki’s Miracle ). The prayer of faith saves the sick (James 5:15). If it is God’s will to heal all our diseases, why isn’t everyone healed? That’s a simple question with a complex answer. We can believe God, and He will heal ALL our diseases (Ex. Regardless of the reason, however, there is always something we can do about it. Not all sickness is caused by something we do. The following verse, Isaiah 53:5, makes it very clear that this was speaking of physical healing when Isaiah said, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed”.Ĭouple this with the example of Jesus healing every single person who came to Him for healing, and the truth that healing is a part of Christ’s atonement is undeniable…. Matthew, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, substituted the words “infirmities” and “sicknesses” for Isaiah’s words “griefs” and “sorrows.” Indeed, a study of the Hebrew words in Isaiah 53:4 will reveal that they were always speaking of physical healing. What a wonderful way to share how the Bible is filled with promises and accounts regarding health and healing for His children. “I am the Lord who healeth thee” (Exodus 15:26). The mother and daughter were quite interested, so the minister went on to tell them about this “remedy.” When they finally asked for a dose, he opened the bag, took out his Bible, and read them the verse that says Two others on the train-a mother and daughter-were very sick, so Wigglesworth said to them, “Look, I’ve something in the bag that will cure every case in the world. The wonderful English Bible teacher Smith Wigglesworth used to tell about traveling one day in a railway coach. The blood of Jesus was shed to forgive sin and provide healing.Jesus heals because He is full of compassion.God’s will for you to walk in divine health is emphasized throughout His Word. Here are three examples from the Internet of this kind of teaching: Benny Hinn Ministries On the authority of God’s Word, because of Jesus’ suffering he is obliged to heal you. Then comes something like this: Those who are sick, please come forward and we’ll pray for you. I’ve heard it over and over from preachers, mainly in Pentecostal-Charismatic churches: ‘By his stripes you are healed’. This is the prophetic fulfillment of Isa 53:5 (NASB), ‘And by His scourging we are healed’. I refer to 1 Peter 2:24 (NASB), ‘He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness for by His wounds you were healed’. I have a question for all Christians: Because of Jesus’ death on the cross, does this guarantee that Christians who pray for healing will be healed? True or False? Is it physical healing or eternal salvation?
