Divine Healing, Part 3

Isaiah 53:5

Over the last few weeks we have been looking at the subject of healing. We have discussed divine healing and the death of Christ and divine healing and the will of God. We have found that the Scriptures certainly teach that God has the power to heal and continues to heal in accordance with His sovereign will. Christ died on Calvary to deliver us from sin, not sickness.

Today we want to look at some of the passages of Scripture that have been misinterpreted by many who promote the teaching that it is always God's will that all believers be healed. And that healing was provided in the atonement and all we must do is claim it!

I. Isaiah 53:4-5

II. Psalm 103:1-8

III. James 5:10-15

Bringing this all together we understand and accept that God can and does heal physical infirmities. That healing is subject to the sovereign will of God. It is not guaranteed in the atonement. It is not always God's will to heal. He, and He alone, determines when and to what extent healing is granted. He, and He alone, deserves glory and honor when He chooses to heal and when He chooses not to grant healing.
