WHY Healing?

I was asked "Why am I so interested in Healing?" "Why Healing?" I didn't really have an answer then, actually never thought about the "why" I just knew Jesus did it, so I wanted to also. But after asked the questions I started to think about it, a little soul searching. What I found was a deep desire to be used by the Holy Spirit because I had been brought up in a lie from the enemy! It actually made me a little angry. So now I find myself wanted to tell everyone we have bought into a lie, (that we can not heal) Even Jesus could do little to no healing in his own town due to their unbelief. My revelation came from a desire to utilize something that Jesus did, healing. I want to reflect that. For others you may seek to "Be beautiful" "Feel worthy" "Be wanted/desired" Understand this, satin's lies will stunt our maturity in our potential growth as an heir of Christ! Not only will it stunt us, but our children whom we pass on our learning to. BE FREE! Protect yourself and your family! Use that "Authority" Jesus died for, for you to use. Stand Up! Take back what belongs to you, that satin stole from you. 1 Corinthians 4:20. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
HOW? Luke 11:9-10 & Matthew 7:7-8

ASK, SEEK, KNOCK! These are all inclusive (together). We as a microwave Christians like instant results. The hardest thing Gods got to work through is your head. And that sometimes needs time to repair and rebuild. Start by ASKING Jesus. Not just your quick question before your head hits the pillow. But an all out, no holds bard, snot sucking, tear jerking, heart opening, chain breaking, on your knees before God Prayer-ASKING!

SEEK by researching the bible FIRST, then compare to others who are of the same mind. SEEK Fully, with all your heart, and if possible include that into your daily actions. Seeking is a knowledge and understanding.
KNOCK! This is the physical action word. Start moving now in your Freedom of Understanding. It says "the Door will be opened" The action comes After you ASKED, After you SEEKED, Now it's time to walk through the Door. You got your answer, you have your knowledge, now move in what you know.

Let me ask you all something, have you ever seen a demon at work, or hear one speak, or witness one leaving a person? I haven't. But as I understand it, Jesus and the disciples did a lot of. Now the way I see it, if you aint bothering them, they won't show themselves. Well we've done a great job at keeping them feeling fine. They will show themselves when it becomes a last resort, like an animal in a corner. Invade there space, and they will use there last card. We need to invade there space a little more often. I want to start seeing some Bible Time Action! That wasn't a one time deal for sure. We need to start rattling some cages, Breaking some Bondages, Walking in Our freedom, and Praising God in ALL we do.

JESUS/GOD HEALS ALL
Matthew 9:35 (New International Version)
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
-----------------------

19 and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.
------------------------
Acts 10:38 (New International Version)

------------------------
Matthew 4:23 (New International Version)

------------------------

------------------------
Matthew 4:24
24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.
------------------------

------------------------
Psalm 103
2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, 
       and forget not all his benefits-
 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases
-----------------------
JESUS=GOOD HEALTH DEMONS=BAD HEALTH
JESUS SAYS THAT IF SICKNESS WAS FROM SATIN, SATIN COULD NOT DRIVE IT OUT BECAUSE IT WOULD WORK AGAINST WHAT SATIN IS. WITH THAT SAME THOUGHT, JESUS COULD NOT CAST OUT SICKNESS IF IT WERE FROM HIM. ANY AND EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITESLF WILL NOT STAND. SO THIS SUPPORTS THE THOUGH THAT IF YOU THINK SICKNESS WAS GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD FOR ANY REASON, WOULD VIOLATE WHAT HE JUST SAID.
------------------------
Matthew 12:23-25 (New International Version)
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "It is only by Beelzebub,the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons."
25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
------------------------
Mark 3 (New International Version)
22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons."
23 So Jesus called them and spoke to them in parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan?
24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.
27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up the strong man. Then he can rob his house.
28 I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them.
29 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."
30 He said this because they were saying, "He has an evil spirit."
------------------------
Luke 11 (New International Version)
14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.
15 But some of them said, "By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons."
16 Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.
17 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.
18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub.
19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
------------------------
Luke 11
11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
------------------------
Romans 3 (New International Version)
21 But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.
22 This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, 23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
25 God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—
26 he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
------------------------
Romans 5: (New International Version)
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Since we have NOW been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!
------------------------
SIN=DEMONS, BONDAGE, SICKNESS, DISEASE, DEPRESSION, ETC.
Mark 2
3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them.
4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus and, after digging through it, lowered the mat the paralyzed man was lying on.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."
6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves,
7 "Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these things?
9 Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'?
10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins . . . ." He said to the paralytic,
11 "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home."
12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"
------------------------
A TREE BY ITS FRUITS
Matthew 7
15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
------------------------
Acts 3:16 (New International Version)
16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.
------------------------
THE WILL OF GOD!
It is important to recognize the WILL of God when researching your role as a Christian. You may say, I will never know the WILL of God, He is soveriegn, how can I? Well you better. The best example of the Will of God is represented in the Life of Jesus. He is a reflection of what God desired (willed). If that included healing, so be it!
Let's start with this Very Important verse.
------------------------
Matthew 7
20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but ONLY he who does the WILL of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
------------------------
John 7
16 Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.
17If anyone chooses to do God's WILL, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
18 He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.
19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?"
------------------------
John 8 **( Jesus is the walking acting WILL of God, and He healed EVERYONE who came to him)
27. They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.
28. So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.
29. The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases Him."
------------------------
Hebrews 1 ** (Jesus is the walking acting WILL of God, and he healed EVERYONE who came to him)
3. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven.
------------------------
Mark 3
35 Whoever does God's WILL is my brother and sister and mother."
------------------------
John 7
16 Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.
17 If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
------------------------
Acts 18
21 But as he left, he promised, "I will come back if it is God's will." Then he set sail from Ephesus.
(Paul stepped out, started his action, then stated, if God wants me to change my corse, I will do it.)
------------------------
Romans 2
5. But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
6. God "will give to each person according to what he has done."
7. To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.
8. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.
------------------------
EVERYONE COULD HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GOD WITH POWER.
17" 'In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions, 

your old men will dream dreams.
------------------------
FAITH
Romans 3:3-4
3. What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? 4. Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written: "So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge."
------------------------
WE HAVE THE SAME SPIRIT THAT RAISED CRIST FROM THE DEAD IN US
Romans 8:11
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.
