				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.lifesupernatural.com/?attachment_id=3061" rel="attachment wp-att-3061"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3061" src="http://www.lifesupernatural.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Dont-Doubt-Your-Healing.jpg" alt="Don't Doubt Your Healing by Stephen Brooks" width="600" height="251" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Wisdom and healing are two promises of God that we can receive when we ask in faith.</span> It is God’s will for us to walk in wisdom. If it were not His will then He would not offer us the ability to receive wisdom. <strong>It is God’s will to heal</strong>, <em>but healing must be accepted by faith according to the same process in which one receives wisdom</em>. Both promises are acquired through faith.</p>
<p><hr /><p><em>It is God’s will for us to walk in wisdom.</em><br /><a href='https://twitter.com/share?text=It+is+God%E2%80%99s+will+for+us+to+walk+in+wisdom.&url=http://www.lifesupernatural.com/dont-doubt-your-healing/' target='_blank'>Click To Tweet</a> - <a href='http://coschedule.com/?utm_source=http://www.lifesupernatural.com&utm_medium=plugin&utm_term=Click+To+Tweet&utm_content=http://www.lifesupernatural.com/dont-doubt-your-healing/&utm_campaign=coschedule' title='Content Marketing Editorial Calendar' target='_blank'>Powered By CoSchedule</a></p><hr /></p>
<p>Regarding wisdom, the Bible says, “let him ask in faith, with no doubting.” If a person has doubts when asking about whether or not God will supply them with wisdom, they will not receive anything from the Lord. Notice how the word “anything” is used in reference to other promises of God that are received through the same faith transaction. The word “anything” includes wisdom, but it would also certainly include healing as well.</p>
<p>If a person says, “I have asked God to heal me, but I’m not sure if He will do it or not,” then I can already inform you according to the Bible what that person will receive—nothing.</p>
<blockquote><p>“For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The issue of doubt must be removed in order to move forward and possess what God said freely belongs to us. God is not withholding wisdom from His people when they ask for it. <strong>Neither is He withholding His healing power.</strong></p>
<p>At the cross of Calvary Jesus paid the price through His bodily sacrifice to redeem anyone who would receive Him from the perils of spiritual death, sickness, disease, and every other form of defeat and suffering. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">He paid this ransom price of our salvation with His own blood. Since the price has already been paid, why would He hold back that which He died to make freely available to us?</span> It brings great joy to the heart of God when we accept by faith the wonderful provision He made for us at Calvary.</p>
<p>We can receive wisdom when we need it by simply asking in faith and not doubting that He will abundantly give it to us. We can also receive healing for our injured, diseased, or sick bodies by asking in faith and removing any and all doubt that would suggest it is not God’s will to heal.</p>
<p><hr /><p><em>Doubt is a thief that robs a person of the promises of God.</em><br /><a href='https://twitter.com/share?text=Doubt+is+a+thief+that+robs+a+person+of+the+promises+of+God.&url=http://www.lifesupernatural.com/dont-doubt-your-healing/' target='_blank'>Click To Tweet</a> - <a href='http://coschedule.com/?utm_source=http://www.lifesupernatural.com&utm_medium=plugin&utm_term=Click+To+Tweet&utm_content=http://www.lifesupernatural.com/dont-doubt-your-healing/&utm_campaign=coschedule' title='Content Marketing Editorial Calendar' target='_blank'>Powered By CoSchedule</a></p><hr /></p>
<p>Standing firm on the promises of God and holding on to them without wavering is the biblical method of receiving God’s best for our lives. Doubt is a thief that robs a person of the promises of God. If doubt is allowed to come in to a person’s heart then it can rob an individual or an entire church of what rightfully belongs to that person. <strong>Doubt will evaporate like a morning mist on a hot day when you feed upon God’s Word.</strong></p>

<p>Two months ago on a Sunday morning, I prayed for a young boy of the age of five. His mother reported he had been severely grinding his teeth in his sleep all night long for the past three years. In faith I prayed for the young boy, and I rebuked an evil spirit that was tormenting him. <strong>I then released God’s healing power into his body through the laying on of my hands.</strong> Later that night his mother slept next to him and she stayed awake all night long listening for any grinding, but he did not grind his teeth a single time, nor has he ever ground his teeth since. We see these and many other types of healings take place consistently.</p>
<blockquote><p>When you pray for the sick, you must always keep your eyes on Jesus and visualize the Lord healing the people.</p></blockquote>
<p>If the nine spiritual gifts could be considered “fun,” then I would have to think that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the gift of healing is the most fun</span> gift because it makes me so happy when others are healed. Since there are so many sick and diseased people in the church and in the world, this gift will always be in high demand and in frequent use.</p>
<p><strong>Sometimes the healing is instantaneous</strong>, other times it takes a little while for the healing to fully come forth. But what joy it brings when someone has received deliverance from the devil’s torment and affliction. It’s fun to pray for the sick, especially when the healing gifts are in manifestation.</p>
<p><hr /><p><em>Always mix faith with your prayers.</em><br /><a href='https://twitter.com/share?text=Always+mix+faith+with+your+prayers.&url=http://www.lifesupernatural.com/are-you-mixing-faith-into-your-prayers/' target='_blank'>Click To Tweet</a> - <a href='http://coschedule.com/?utm_source=http://www.lifesupernatural.com&utm_medium=plugin&utm_term=Click+To+Tweet&utm_content=http://www.lifesupernatural.com/are-you-mixing-faith-into-your-prayers/&utm_campaign=coschedule' title='Content Marketing Editorial Calendar' target='_blank'>Powered By CoSchedule</a></p><hr /></p>
<p>You will always have good results when you pray for people in faith and refuse to be moved by external circumstances. I have prayed for people when the gifts of healings were flowing through me. <strong>Often I have prayed for people in severe pain.</strong> I would lay my hands on them and pray for them while releasing God’s healing anointing in their body. Some would leave the prayer line in just as much pain as when they arrived. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">But I do not let that throw me in any way,</span> because many of these same people would call or email me and say that the following morning when they awoke, the symptoms had completely left their bodies.</p>
<blockquote><p>Always stay in faith and do not doubt that it is God’s will to heal—and for His people to enjoy divine health.</p></blockquote>

This question causes countless Christians to not receive God’s healing power.</p>
<p><hr /><p><em>The question is, “Is it God’s will to heal?” </em><br /><a href='https://twitter.com/share?text=The+question+is%2C+%E2%80%9CIs+it+God%E2%80%99s+will+to+heal%3F%E2%80%9D+&url=http://www.lifesupernatural.com/is-it-gods-will-to-heal/' target='_blank'>Click To Tweet</a> - <a href='http://coschedule.com/?utm_source=http://www.lifesupernatural.com&utm_medium=plugin&utm_term=Click+To+Tweet&utm_content=http://www.lifesupernatural.com/is-it-gods-will-to-heal/&utm_campaign=coschedule' title='Content Marketing Editorial Calendar' target='_blank'>Powered By CoSchedule</a></p><hr /></p>
<p>But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack <strong>concerning His promise</strong>, as some count slackness, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">but is longsuffering toward us</span>, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:8-10).</p>
<p>Here we see that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">it is the expressed will of God that no one should perish</span> and go to hell. Yet, every day there are those who die in their sins and enter into hell. Why do they perish in sin and go to hell? Because they did not accept Jesus as their Savior while alive upon the earth. Even though it was not God’s will for them to perish, their rejection of Christ seals their eternal doom.</p>
<p>With this reality in mind, I have often heard some people speak incorrectly concerning God’s will to heal. I have heard countless believers say, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">“If it is God’s will to heal me, then He will heal me when He is ready.”</span></p>
<blockquote><p>To make a statement like this is to also say, “If it is God’s will to save me, then He will save me when He is ready.”</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>God is not going to save you, or heal you, unless you choose to receive it by faith.</strong> God doesn’t overpower anyone and force them to be saved. God freely offers salvation, but unless a person receives it, that person will perish in his or her sins. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">God freely offers healing, but He absolutely will not force it upon anyone.</span> If a person desires to receive healing, then that person must accept it by faith the same way one accepts salvation through faith. If you don’t accept salvation, you miss out on heaven. If you don’t accept healing, you miss out on being healed. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>It’s really that simple.</strong></span></p>
