Jesus Proved That Healing Is The Will Of God For Every Member of The Abrahamic Seed Group

      Jesus came to this earth to do the will of God, the writer to the Hebrews declared in chapter ten verse seven.  He said, "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God".  Jesus himself made the same statement in John 6:38, "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will but the will of him that sent me".

     The question we must now ask is just exactly what is the "will of him that sent me"? Paul defines the complete answer for us in Romans 15:8 which states that "...Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers...".

     The expression "the fathers" in this verse, as everywhere else in the Bible, signifies Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  "The promises" relate to the covenant with Abraham that was reaffirmed to Isaac and Jacob.  The word "confirmed" is a Greek word, BEBAIOS, which means "to cause to stand".  Therefore, Jesus came "to cause the provisions of the Abrahamic Covenant to stand".  Since Jesus came to do the will of God and since he came to cause the promises of God in The Abrahamic Covenant to stand, and since healing is contained in the Abrahamic Covenant, we should examine Jesus public healing ministry to determine just exactly who and how many Jesus healed.  Then and only then, will we know for sure that healing is for all who came to Jesus for healing.

     Moreover, from the above statements, we must conclude that everyone Jesus healed was the will of God and that everyone that Jesus healed was causing the Abrahamic Covenant to stand.  In addition, we must also conclude that if Jesus had refused healing to any of the ones that he healed, that refusal would have been a violation of The Abrahamic Covenant and would also have been the exact opposite of God's will for healing.

     In addition, we must conclude that Jesus never did one thing in his public ministry other than carry out the promises and provisions of The Abrahamic Covenant.  Whether it concerned healing, feeding the five thousand or whatever else he may have done, it was done for the express purpose of "causing the promises made to the fathers to stand".  Therefore, when we examine his public healing ministry and determine just how many he healed, we will know how many is included in the scope of the healing provided in The Abrahamic Covenant.  So, let us answer the question, "How many did Jesus heal to 'cause the promises made to the fathers to stand' and to accomplish the will of God concerning healing?".

 How Many Did Jesus Heal To Do The Will Of God and Confirm The Abrahamic Covenant?

      Matthew said, "When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils; and he cast out the spirits with his word and healed all that were sick...", Matthew 8:16.  How many did Jesus heal to cause the promises made to the fathers to stand and do the will of God?  In this instance, at least, he healed all that were sick.

     Matthew asserts again that "...great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all, Matthew 12:15.  How many did Jesus heal on this occasion to cause the healing promised in The Abrahamic Covenant to stand and to do the will of God?  He healed them all.

     Again, Matthew declares, concerning the men of Gennesaret, that "...when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased, and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment, and as many as touched were made perfectly whole, Matthew 14:35-36.  How many in this event did Jesus make perfectly whole to cause the promises of The Abrahamic Covenant to stand and to do the will of God concerning healing?  Everyone of them who came to him and touched the hem of his garment.  He healed them all.  He healed them all.

     Matthew continues to hammer it out that Jesus healed all that came to him.  He said, "And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them.", Matthew 15:30.  How many did Jesus heal here to do the will of God and confirm the Abrahamic promises?  He healed them all.  He healed all the ones who were cast at his feet for healing.  He excluded not one of these people.  He healed them all.  He did the will of God.  He confirmed the Covenant.  He healed them all.

     The pattern is beginning to emerge.  For Jesus to do the will of God concerning healing and confirm the promises made to Abraham at the same time, he must heal all that come to him for the same.  He healed them all in every instance we have looked at thus far.  But, Matthew is not the only one who declares it.

     Luke said, "Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any who were sick with divers diseases, brought them unto him and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them", Luke 4:40.  How many in this group did Jesus heal to do the will of God and confirm the Covenant?  He healed them all.  He left out not one of them.  He healed them all.  He healed them all.

    Again, Luke trumpets out that Jesus healed all who came to him in the sixth chapter of his gospel.  He said, "And he came down with them, and stood in the plain and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast off Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases, And they that were vexed with unclean spirits; and they were healed.  And the whole multitude sought to touch him; for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.", Luke 6:17-19.  How many in this group did Jesus heal to do the will of God and confirm the promises?  He healed them all.  He healed them all.  There was not one left.  No one was excluded.  He healed them all with no exceptions.  He healed them all.

 Jesus Delegated To The Twelve The Power and Authority To Heal The Sick

      But, Jesus did not confine the healing ministry to himself.  He passed that power and authority on to his followers.  First, he passed it on to the Twelve.  "And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.", Matthew 10:1.  What kinds of sickness and what kinds of diseases did Jesus give them the power to heal?  He gave them power over all kinds of sicknesses and diseases.  There were none left out.  They had power over them all.

 Jesus Delegated To The Seventy The Power and Authority To Heal The Sick 

     Next, he gave the same power and authority to the seventy.  Luke records it for us.  He said to the seventy, "And heal the sick that are there...", Luke 10:9.  How many are included in the expression "that are there"?

     If two little boys were playing with marbles in the dirt and one of them drew a circle and placed ten marbles in the circle and then told the other little boy that he could have the marbles "that are there" in the circle, how many marbles could he have?  He could have all "that are there" in the circle.  He could have all ten marbles because that is how many are in the circle.  That's how many that are there.

     In the verse quoted from Luke's gospel above, Jesus authorized and empowered the seventy to heal the sick "that are there" in whatever city they entered.  Consequently, we must conclude that they were to heal all the sick where ever they went.  Therefore, since Jesus came to do the will of God and cause the Abrahamic promises to stand, this delegation of the power to heal must have been the will of God and in keeping with the Abrahamic Covenant.  Otherwise, Jesus would have violated both.  Few people will agree that Jesus violated either the Covenant or the expressed will of God.

 Jesus Delegated To Every Member of The Abrahamic Seed Group
The Power and Authority To Heal The Sick

      But Jesus never stopped delegating the authority to heal to just the seventy or the twelve.  Just before he left this earth to return to the father, he passed this authority and power to heal on to all members of The Abrahamic Seed Group.  He told us in Mark 16:17 and 18, "These signs shall follow those who believe:...They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover".

     Since Jesus came to do the will of God and confirm the promises made to the fathers, then this delegation of power for healing that he gave to every member of the Seed Group must have been in the will of God and must have been in confirmation of the Covenant with Abraham.  Otherwise, Jesus would have violated both.  Few would accuse Jesus of going against the will of God or of breaking The Abrahamic Covenant.

 Jesus Delegated To The Leaders of The Abrahamic Seed Group The Power and Authority To Heal The Sick

      Finally, Jesus authorized the leadership of The Abrahamic Seed Group to heal the sick with prayer and anointing with oil.  He said through the anointed pen of James, "Is any sick among you?  Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed", James 5:14-16.  Three words grab our attention in this verse.

     First, look at the word translated by our English word "sick" in verse 15.  Ms translates the Greek word KAMNO which means hopelessly or terminally ill.  Next, consider the word "healed" in verse 16.  This translates the Greek word IAOMAI which means to physically cure.  This word is used 28 times in the Greek New Testament and is always God's word for physical healing or curing.  Finally, look at the word "save" in verse 15.  This translates the word SODZO which means to save, deliver, heal or make whole.  Even the worn out, hopeless, terminally ill member of The Abrahamic Seed Group can obtain healing.

     Think of this for a moment.  God used a Greek word in this passage that specifically pertains to the hopelessly ill.  Isn't that just like our heavenly father?  He deliberately, specifically by name covers the need in scripture for those of you with terminal cases.  No matter how helpless you may be and no matter how serious your sickness, it is covered in the word KAMNO.  Glory to God! Thank you Jesus for The Abrahamic Covenant.

     We can not leave this passage of scripture without considering the expression "the prayer of faith".  We have learned what faith is.  Faith is advance information we receive from God to act upon.  Therefore, "the prayer of faith" is prayer that is based upon advance information we have received from God.  In this context then, "the prayer of faith" is prayer that is based on advance information we received from God concerning healing the sick.

     Surely by now the reader can understand that healing for every member of The Abrahamic Seed Group is the will of God.  Surely by now the reader can utilize what he has learned in these volumes as information from God concerning healing the sick.  Consequently, prayer based on the known will of God always gets answered.  When you pray for the sick. having received advance information from God specifying what his will is about it, this prayer, based on this advance information, will most definitely get the sick healed.  This is the authority and power Jesus delegated to The Abrahamic Seed Group.

     Since Jesus came to do the will of God in all matters and since he came to confirm the promises made to the fathers, then this delegation of the power and authority to heal must be in the will of God.  It must also be in agreement with his purpose to confirm the promises to the fathers.  Otherwise, Jesus would have violated both by this delegation.  No one in his right mind would accuse Jesus of either going against God's will or in breaking The Abrahamic Covenant.

     So get in the battle to take back what's yours.  Stand your ground.  Go for it.  It's yours for the taking.  And, by now, you know it's yours.  Strike weapons with the Devil.  He cannot prevail against you.  You are the winner.  He knows you are the winner.  He just doesn't want you to know that you have won even before a shot is fired.  Read Chapter Two again.  Get in the battle.  Take your inheritance away from him.
