Divine Healing
Divine healing is part of the redemption provision of the cross. For sin, God provides forgiveness, for death, He provides eternal life; and for disease, He provides healing. When we confess salvation, we also confess healing. Jesus healed all who came to Him for healing during His earthly ministry (Matt. 4:24; Mark 6:56: Luke 16:19; 9:11). Importantly, healing was a normal part of Jesus’ declaration of the Kingdom, and of His ministry. In Luke 4: 18-19 He proclaimed:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
