Have you ever had someone tell you that they believe that it may not always be God's will to heal? I have, many times. The silliness of this idea is that this still doesn't keep them from going to the doctor! Deep down they have to know that the heart of God is ALWAYS to do good, because He IS God, and He IS good! Though there is never a time recorded in the Word of God where Jesus turned someone down who came to Him to be healed and delivered, there WERE times when He COULD not heal, even though He desired to with all of His being! Mark 6:2-5:
2 And on the Sabbath He began to teach in the synagogue; and many who listened to Him were utterly astonished, saying, Where did this Man acquire all this? What is the wisdom [the broad and full intelligence which has been] given to Him? What mighty works and exhibitions of power are wrought by His hands! 3 Is not this the Carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not His sisters here among us? And they took offense at Him and were hurt [that is, they disapproved of Him, and it hindered them from acknowledging His authority] and they were caused to stumble and fall. 4 But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor (deference, reverence) except in his [own] country and among [his] relatives and in his [own] house. 5 And He was not able to do even one work of power there, except that He laid His hands on a few sickly people [and] cured them.
Notice that this says that Jesus was NOT able to do works of power there! Why? Look at verse 6:
6 And He marveled because of their unbelief (their lack of faith in Him). And He went about among the surrounding villages and continued teaching.
It was NOT His choice, but their unbelief that hindered Jesus! "Oh but God is Sovereign and can do whatever He wants to do" some have said to me. Yes, our God most certainly IS Sovereign! In His Sovereignty HE chose to give US a free will to choose! Choose YOU this day! What, and Whom will YOU choose to believe? Be wise and choose LIFE! Notice that Jesus' answer to their unbelief was to go about continuing to teach! If you have found yourself in any form of unbelief, get yourself back into the Word concerning that area and HE will immediately meet you where you're at! He LOVES you enough to die for you. He most certainly wants you to LIVE! AMEN! John 10:10 is His statement of faith for all of His people!
10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
So, let's make it our determined purpose to begin believing the Word of God more than ever before, enabling His to do what He desires to do for us! Now, fully EXPECT to see GOD results in your life! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "God Is Able":
Shalom in Him!
