53. HEALING
--page 453--
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases (Psa.103:2-3).
[HomeARC note (9/98): The current Charter articulates the Family's principles, policies and attitudes regarding faith healing and getting outside medical attention.]
1. If God wants to heal you, He doesn't need any help, but if He doesn't want to heal you, nothing will help.
2. God heals and the doctor takes the fee.
3. Doctors are men who prescribe medicines of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of whom they know nothing.
4. You don't have to resign yourself that your problems are incurable and just put up with them, tolerate them like the Devil, but you can get the victory!
5. Only those with great faith like Job, when everything goes wrong and seems contrary to the Word and the usual--only those with great faith can say with Job, "Even though it seems like God is breaking His Own Word with me--even though it seems like God has failed me--even though God kills me contrary to all His promises, I'll still trust Him." (Job.13:15)
6. What could be more healing than the Word? (Psa.107:20)
7. Anointing with oil is just a symbol--it's not that the oil does anything or has any peculiar power, but it's just to fulfil what the Scripture says!--It's a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
8. Jesus made us, so He can fix us!
9. People have not lost faith; they have just transferred it from God to the medical profession.
10. Sometimes things happen just to keep you close to the Lord--sickness, trouble, problems. Sometimes they happen to drive you closer to each other. Sometimes thy happen to keep you humble. Sometimes they happen to make you pray, all kinds of reasons for having troubles. Even troubles and tribulations are good for us. (Rom.8:28)
11. Once God's forgiven you and healed you, then you'd better be sure you stick to the limits and the regulations and the rules and His will and whatever conditions He's laid down.
12. Once God's given you faith for healing, He expects you to use it.
13. Healing is a special blessing, a priceless privilege, which, unlike salvation, He can take away if you don't keep trusting Him for it and giving Him all the glory.
14. We'd have more miracles of healing if we'd be faithful and simply believe, trust God and pray for people as we should!
15. "He healeth all our diseases."--No exceptions there. He can heal anything!
16. Expect miracles!--And in Jesus' name you'll get them!
17. If He's God at all, He's a God of miracles! If He can create the Universe, He can fix it! If He can make your body, He can repair it!
18. God has a natural remedy for everything, and you'll always find it in the very area of the World where the sickness is.
19. I have never gotten well lying in bed! (Unless I needed the rest and quiet time to pray and hear from the Lord.) God always required me to take a step of faith! It's better to die trying than to die lying! You have to make a conscious effort to manifest faith.
20. The Lord's healing is a little touch of resurrection life, a little bit of Heaven, a little bit of redemption of the body.
21. The System says: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the medicine chest and the pill from whence cometh my help, and to the scientist who hath created all things."
22. Not all Christians have the gift of healing, but healing is available to all Christians!
23. When we have learned the lesson God is trying to teach us, or the conditions are ready for the result that God wants to bring, He says, "rather let it be healed." (Heb.12:13) God prefers to heal--if we can be trusted with it and learn what He is trying to show us.
24. A "thorn in the flesh" is a physical affliction--not a sinful temptation!--"A messenger of Satan"--perhaps even an annoying demon! (2Cor.12:7)
25. God often deals with people physically according to their spiritual handicap or problem.
26. When He has to go to the extreme of allowing your child to be afflicted to touch your heart, you're pretty hardhearted, and I think sometimes pretty self-righteous.
27. I don't think any sickness is normal for a Christian. If you get one it's usually for a reason, to teach you something or because of your own sins. The norm is to be healed, the norm is to be delivered!
28. Healings are not necessarily permanent unless you obey!
29. If we would obey more and keep cleaner and eat the right things and live right, we wouldn't have to be healed so often.
30. I've never known it to fail that when you preach healing and you start attacking the Devil on that subject, he really hates it and the Lord allows you to be tested, too.
31. If He can create the baby, He certainly can straighten the feet. The One who made him can certainly fix him!
32. There are no exceptions: God can heal anything!
33. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous" (Ps.34:19)--but most of them are very little ones and very minor and just enough to keep us close to the Lord.
34. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous"--that's what keeps them so righteous, their many afflictions!
35. Stand on God's Word
And not your feelings
This is the secret
Of faith and healing.
36. God doesn't like to share the glory with the doctor!
37. The medicine will either cure you or it'll most likely prove that it can't--and that you'll have to trust the Lord!
38. Most people would rather take the pill than the pilgrimage of faith!
39. If you're not willing to pay the price God requires for healing, He won't heal you! Only the obedient get healing. It's a reward for the obedient. Health is a special blessing of God. You can only demand it if you're obedient. But if you're disobedient you can't demand anything!
40. You have to let your body know you want to live! "The spirit of a man sustaineth him, but a wounded spirit who can bear!" (Pr.18:14)
41. All that most people need who are upset or disturbed mentally or spiritually, is love!
42. If every time you have an affliction you quit serving God, you'll be a perpetual quitter!
43. You've got to believe and obey the Lord, even it He never heals you!
44. If you go back, you'll make God sick! But if you go on even if you're sick, you'll make God happy.
45. One of the greatest proofs of God's existence is answers to prayer, miracles and especially healing.
46. Prayer is not only cheaper than medicine, but surer too!
47. Pain is a touch of Hell, healing is a touch of Heaven.
48. If God doesn't want me fixed, nobody on Earth can do it! If He does want me fixed, He'll do it by Himself.
49. In some cases people are sick because they have serious spiritual problems, even demonic, and they need to be delivered immediately by urgent prayer before the Devil gets them down any further.
50. If you're sick it's your business to tell the church and ask for prayer:
1) It's a sign of your dependence on the Lord.
2) It's a sign you have faith in prayer.
3) To keep you humble.
4) It's necessary to let others know in order that they can share your burden and so fulfil the law of Christ.
5) It's a testimony when the Lord answers. (Ja.5:14)
51. Jesus healed everybody, saved or unsaved, as long as they had enough faith to believe on Him. If they could believe Him that much for their healing, then their faith was increased at this sign and they could believe Him a little more for their Salvation.
52. Many run to medicine because they're running away from God's chastening.
53. One of the greatest of healing factors is faith, to know that God loves you and cares for you and is going to take care of you no matter what happens. Faith eliminates one of the greatest causes of disease and ill health, and that's fear and tension.
54. Your physical state of health is definitely largely dependent on your mental state of health, and your mental health is very largely dependent on your spiritual condition, because both love and faith cast out all fear.
55. God wants to test your faith and willingness to obey before He's going to heal you, and He wants to see if you'll believe and obey Him even if you think you may never get healed! What's your healing got to do with faith and obedience? Nothing! But your faith and obedience have a lot to do with your healing!
56. If you do not obey and stay in God's Will and continually give Him the glory for your healing and continue to trust Him for it, He may let your affliction come back, because of your ingratitude and disobedience.
57. The kind of faith that gets results is "though He slay me, yet will I trust Him!" (Job.13:15)
58. If you're going to get healing, you have to testify to it; you have to not only believe it, but also confess it! It's a little like Salvation--you can't be saved without confessing Christ.
59. His body was broken for us for the healing of our bodies, His blood was shed for the salvation of our spirits. There is salvation both for the body and for the spirit.
60. "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." (Ja.5:14-15)
61. Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings!
62. There are some more conditions to healing: To be humble, and really seek the Lord and turn from our wicked ways: Anything that we are doing that's wrong or out of His will or foolish or overdoing or abusing our bodies in any way.
63. The first thing that comes to me always even now when I get sick is, "Have I done something wrong?--Why is this happening?" And I pray accordingly.
64. The only reason we don't have more miracles is that we just don't believe God as we should and don't challenge the Enemy, rebuke that Devil and expect God to answer!
65. Desperate prayer is needed for stubborn cases of illness, and sometimes, "This kind goeth not out save by fasting and prayer." Correct the spiritual problems first as well as the food, sex, cleanliness and other living conditions, then trust God utterly in prayer and obedience and you're bound to get results.
66. You have to literally put God on the spot. He likes it. He likes you to challenge Him to keep His Word. "Now, here, God, I've obeyed You. I've put myself on a limb and sawed it off. Now it's up to You to take care of me. If You want to heal me, You don't need any help."
67. The Lord definitely has good forces within your body which fight the evil forces!
68. If you take care of your health as well as you can, but you still can't obtain a good diet or you can't get enough sleep, then of course God is not limited by those things. He's just as able to heal you or keep you healthy in spite of it.
69. There are a lot of common natural herbal medicines and foods that God has created as remedies for various illnesses for those who don't know the Lord's healing or who are too weak in faith to trust Him to do it in a completely miraculous supernatural way. "He that is weak eateth herbs."(Ro.14:2) On the other hand, if you pray for healing and God shows you or lays on your heart a food or an herb to take as a remedy, that could be considered part of His supernatural answer if you give Him the glory for it.
70. Sometimes your afflictions are not your fault and are permitted as a test of your faith to see if you'll still trust the Lord in the midst of them, and then if you'll trust the Lord for your healing, and frequently that others may see your healing and glorify God. But often afflictions are your fault as a chastisement to get you to correct the problem. If so, pray and ask the Lord to forgive and deliver and cleanse and purify and help you make things right, and usually He will then heal.
71. It's all in what you put your faith in. If you eat certain things because it's part of caring for your body in obedience to the Word, then you're putting your faith in the Word, not the food. But if you eat foods trusting more in them to keep you healthy or make you healthy than in God to keep or make you healthy, then you're not trusting God.
72. "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth him out of them all." (Ps.34:19)--A double L, all--not just some or a few or most or many, but all, all of them!
73. Why should He honour you with healing when you don't honour Him with faith? If you don't trust Him till you die, then you don't trust Him!
74. If you're going to trust the doctor, go the limit! Get the best doctor, hospital, medicine and everything else you can get! But if you're going to put yourself in the hands of the Lord, He doesn't need anyone!
75. If the Lord wants to take me, doctors and medicine can't stop Him! If He wants to heal me, He can fix me by Himself.
76. If you get healed while you're taking medication, then you're going to give the medication the glory. And if you don't, then everybody else will, because they'll know you were taking the medication. God won't get the glory for it.
77. If God wants to heal you, He's going to heal you only if you'll depend utterly on Him and give Him utterly the glory!--He won't heal you as long as you're leaning on the doctor crutch or any crutch and trusting God halfway and the doctors the other half!
78. There's no halfway with God! He'll have no other gods before Him! (Exo.20:3.) If God doesn't want to heal you, well, you'll just have to accept that and figure the Lord wants to take you Home, and the quicker the better!--Unless He just wants you to continue suffering to keep you humble or close to Him.
79. Trust God utterly and step out on a limb and put God on the spot! "Now Lord, I'm trusting You and I've left home and gone to the mission field and I'm doing my best for You, now You've got to do it! And either You do it or it's not going to get done. Because I'm not going to trust anybody else, certainly not the Devil and his methods!"
80. "Cast thyself on the Lord and He shall sustain thee!" (Ps.55:22.) But leaning on the Lord on one side and the doctor on the other is not going to do it!--It never has for me or anybody I know that really trusted God for healing, to just halfway trust the doctors and halfway trust the Lord.
81. You're not going to prove to anybody else that it was the Lord alone that healed you as long as you're going to the doctors and getting shots and medicines and pills or any kind of treatment! There's always going to be doubt even in your own mind as to whether it was the Lord that healed you or the treatment. The Lord just will not share His glory with another! (Isa.42:8.) "I will have no other gods before Me! I the Lord thy God am a jealous God!" (Exo.20:3,5.)--And He simply will not share His glory with somebody else or something else, much less a pill or a shot or a treatment or any doctor!
82. For anyone who knows as much about healing as we do, God expects us and He requires us to trust Him utterly and let Him do it!--Alone!
83. Don't ever let them carry me off to some doctor or some hospital! I'd rather die in the hands of the Lord than die in the hands of the doctor!
84. As little as doctors know and as experimental as most medicines and pills and treatments and shots are, I'd sooner trust the Lord! He knows what's wrong! He is able to heal it! They don't know what's wrong and don't know how to heal it! They're just playing around and experimenting like little boys with toys and constantly misdiagnosing cases.
85. Dr. Koger said, "If you knew doctors like I do, you'd never go near one or take a single prescription from them! It's nothing but experimentation! Most of the time they don't know what's wrong with you either and they just try this and try that and charge you for it to make money off it!"
86. The main reason doctors recommend Caesarians is because it's surgery and they make thousands of dollars on it, a lot more money on it than natural childbirth! We've had plenty of girls who refused the Caesarian and insisted on trusting the Lord and came through with flying colours! We've got one girl who had a Caesarian and nearly died of it! She was in a coma for quite some time.
87. I'll tell you, if you know the Lord and His healing and about trusting God by faith for your body, God will not let any kind of treatment, doctors, pills, shots or hospitals help you! That sort of thing is for the poor sin-sick unbelieving World who have no other recourse, who don't even know the Lord or His healing. But as long as you know the Lord and His healing, He holds you responsible to trust Him for it and cast yourself utterly on the Lord! Then if He wants you to die, you'll know it was His will and not some doctor or treatment that killed you. And if He wants you to live, He'll heal you and you'll know it was the Lord and not the treatment!
88. I have no faith for the healing of people who go to the doctor and look to the pills and the treatments and the shots and the natural or unnatural or normal or abnormal, methods or whatever they want to call it, anything else but the Lord!
89. God likes you to throw yourself utterly on Him and trust Him completely! If you die you'll know it was God's will that you died and not the treatment that caused it. If He wants you to live, than you'll know it was the Lord and you'll give Him all the glory and so will everybody else--and not the treatment!
90. I can't remember a thing doctors ever gave me or did for me that did me any good or that healed me. It reminds me of the old joke about a bad cold: With medication you can get rid of it in about two weeks, or with just plain rest and proper diet, etc., you can get rid of it in about 14 days! So who knows what healed you?
91. If you cast yourself utterly on the Lord, then God has got to heal you, if He wants to heal you. And for God's sake, if He doesn't want to heal you, why would you want to be healed? The quicker you go to the Heavenly City the better, and be rid of all the pain and trouble you're going through here!
92. I'd rather die at home in bed trusting God than go to the damn hospitals full of doctors who don't even know what they're doing!
93. There are mechanical operations for which doctors and hospitals are necessary, purely mechanical things which they know how to do just like working on a car!--Like setting a broken bone or sewing up a cut or removing a splinter or a bullet or helping you have a baby.
94. But on most other things, like serious internal maladies, they more often than not just experiment around with all that chemical poison and use you as a guinea pig for a bunch of drugs and pills and other junk when they don't even know what's wrong with you!--And if they do, they don't know how to heal it! They don't know what they're doing and neither do you! And often they do more damage than good, and very rarely much good.
95. God knows what's wrong with you!--First of all, what's wrong with you spiritually and what He's dealing with you about and what He's trying to teach you, what He's trying to tell you through your sickness!
96. If you're not sure whether God wants to heal you, why are you taking all those medicines? Maybe you're going against the will of God! One way to find out is just quit the doctor and the medicine.
97. You may be taking medication against the will of God! Maybe He doesn't want to heal you. Maybe He's trying to take you Home to Heaven, and here you're fighting it like mad with this doctor and all these medicines!
98. If I died, I'd rather know that it was the Lord that killed me than wonder if it was the doctor that did it! Well, if you die, you'll know!
99. If you trust Him utterly, He'll take care of you, and if He doesn't take care of you, then He is worse than an infidel! (1Ti.5:8.)
100. As long as you're leaning partly on God and partly on the medicine, He's not going to have anything to do with it! He doesn't care to share His glory with some doctor and some treatment and some pills! If He's going to heal you, He wants all the credit for it and all the glory for it. He wants the World to know and the Family to know that it was He who healed you and nothing else!--God plus Faith plus Nothing!
101. Put yourself into the hands of the Lord, trust Him utterly, then He's gotta heal you if He wants to! And then if He does, He'll get all the credit, all the glory and all the praise and you'll have only Him to thank for it and not share the thanks with the doctor! And if He doesn't want to heal you, then taking all those medicines and shots and pills and treatments are against the will of God! If He wants you to stay sick or afflicted or even die, it's better to let Him have His way than to fight it. If you believe it's the will of God for you to live and serve the Lord and even be healed, then why don't you trust the Lord? If He wants to heal you, He'll heal you! If He doesn't want to, nobody and nothing can heal you!
102. Why not trust God?--But trusting God means trusting Him utterly and nothing and nobody else!--Just God!--Then He'll get all the credit and all the thanks and all the praise! You'll know it was God and so will everybody else, and they'll all thank the Lord and know it wasn't any treatment or doctors or pills or therapy or that anything else had any share in it whatsoever! If God's going to heal you, He wants to get all the credit and all the glory and do all the healing, so you'll give Him all the thanks and you'll know it was God!
103. You're either trusting God or you're not! You're either trusting God or you're trusting the medicine! You cannot do both if you're going to expect God to heal you.
104. You're not trusting God utterly as long as you're leaning on something else, looking around for something for God to start on, a little bit of something to help God out!
105. What makes you think God has to have something to start on?--That you've gotta help God out somehow by supplying Him with some kind of means to start on, like a medicine or a doctor!
106. Why don't you just trust to the Lord and forget all that other junk? You don't know that the other stuff can heal you, but you know that God can heal you if you trust the Lord at all! And you know He can heal you without it, so why bother with it?
107. Why don't you trust the One Who made you? Nobody knows the product like the Manufacturer! Send yourself back to the Manufacturer and let Him fix you! He's got all the parts and everything you need, and He's the only One that really knows you and how to do it. Any other kind of mechanic is just fooling around and experimenting.
108. So why not try God and God alone?--Utterly, completely, nothing else--so God'll get the glory, if and when you're healed! And then if you're not healed or you die, at least you'll know it was the will of God and you weren't fighting it! But if it's God's will for you to live and for Him to heal you, then He certainly doesn't need any help!--Except for you to take care of you body, live, eat, sleep and exercise right and not abuse it and do whatever led to the thing in the first place. You can't expect God to heal you when you're abusing your body.--And with all that medicine, pills and shots, you're probably abusing your body! Because what do doctors know about your body?--More than God? And what do doctors know about healing it or what's going to heal it?--More than God?--That's ridiculous!
109. I'd sooner trust the Lord any day than medicine men and their medicines. "He that putteth his trust in the Lord shall never be put to shame, but the fear of man bringeth a snare!" (Pro.29:25.)
110. God is a jealous God and He will not share His glory with another, much less some pill! I think it makes Him angry when His children who know about healing turn not to Him but to the physician!--Angry enough to let them die because they trusted the physician instead of Him!--Like He did old King Asa who was diseased in his feet and "turned not to the Lord but unto the physicians and died." (2Chron.16:12,13) You'd better watch out you don't do the same thing! You can't turn to both.
111. You'd better turn utterly to the Lord and forget the physician and all his treatments, therapy, pills, shots and junk, and trust God utterly! He not only can heal you, but it's His will to heal you, or He wouldn't have put all those Scriptures in His Word on healing! He wants to heal you and He certainly wants you to serve Him, but He does not want to give the glory or credit to anything or anybody else. He wants you to trust Him and Him alone, so you'll thank Him and Him alone for it, and He'll not share His glory with another!
112. God is bound to answer prayer, He's bound to heal you, He's bound to keep His promises, He's bound to keep His Word if you absolutely throw yourself on the Lord and trust Him utterly, obey Him utterly and please Him utterly!
113. When it comes to healing, let me tell you, your best is to call on the Lord and depend on the Lord utterly, because there's obviously nothing you can do! You've found out that there's nothing you can do and there's nothing the doctors can do, and like the old lady in the Bible, you've "suffered many things of many physicians and are not better!" (Mk.5:26.) So it's time for you to wake up to the fact that only God can heal you, and to cast all the rest aside and cast yourself utterly on the Lord and trust Him entirely, completely, utterly!
114. "Christ is greater than any cancer!" Christ is also greater than any doctors or medicines or so-called natural remedies, so you'd better put your faith in the Lord and do it quick or you may be a goner! It's too late for you to depend on anything but the Lord, and you'd better do it quick!
115. If you know the Lord and you know what you're supposed to do, the Lord's not going to let you get away with anything else! Some ignorant benighted sinners who don't know the Lord and don't know any better, God in His mercy might let the doctors help, but it's too late for you! You'd better trust God quick before He gets mad and takes you!
116. If God is dealing with me when I'm sick, I know I've got to get things right with the Lord and obey the Lord and trust utterly in Him, or nothing's going to heal me!
117. To depend on medicines and doctors and treatments and therapy is depending on your own works and your own self-righteousness to heal you, instead of totally utterly depending on the Lord by grace through faith. You get healing the same way you do salvation, by grace through faith! You're not only saved but you're also healed by grace through faith, and that not of yourself! It is a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.--Of any doctor or any medicines! (Eph.2:8,9)
118. You get healing the same way as you do salvation, by utterly trusting God for it and not anything else!-- Grace plus Faith plus Nothing!
119. The Lord in His mercy gives doctors and medicines and hospitals to the World for their care, but Christians who know about healing shouldn't need them.
120. My Mother was all for going to the doctor to get a diagnosis to try to find out what you had so you'd be able to testify what he Lord healed you from, but not with the faith that the doctor or his medicine can cure you.
121. Going to doctors and taking medicines and pills and shots and treatment and therapy is not normal and not God's way! It's abnormal and it's not faith in God. That's the most unusual thing, and usually only as a last resort to find out what's wrong with you if you can't figure out any other way, and half the time they don't know either, so what's the use of going?
122. If the Lord doesn't deliver me of this affliction, then He must want me to have it for some reason.--Maybe so I'll be extra careful and really pray and stay close to the Lord to survive and depend on the Lord for every breath, every bite, every move! Afflictions really keep you close to the Lord!
123. Modern civilised man is as much at the mercy of the medicine man as he ever was, he has just as much faith in him and his potions as they did in the superstitious potions of the savage medicine man!
124. If you have to know what's wrong, The Lord can show you want's wrong! You don't have to go to the doctor to find out.
125. Sometimes He has to show you what is wrong so you can stop doing whatever is causing it, but other times when it's something beyond your control that you can't do anything to correct, the Lord doesn't need to show you, because He just wants you to have faith that He'll heal you.
126. Trusting God for your healing keeps you close to the Lord, but trusting the doctor for healing keeps you close to the doctor!--And broke!
127. If the Lord doesn't deliver you from your affliction, then it must be His will for you to have it just to keep you close to Him and keep you dependent on Him! But if the affliction only keeps you close to the doctor and dependent on his medicine, that's no good! You're not getting the point nor profiting from the Lord's therapy. You're not learning the lesson. You're not responding to God's treatment to keep you close to Him, dependent on Him utterly!
128. If there is a choice between the two, I'd sooner trust the Lord any day! It's a lot safer and cheaper and surer and does you a lot more good in every way!
129. He's never failed me all these years--why should He fail me now? Or why should I fail Him now? I feel like the old Armenian when the Turks were ready to behead him, when they told him if he'd deny his faith in Christ they'd let him live. He said, "Well, I've known Jesus all these years and He's never failed me, why should I fail Him now?!"--And he died for his faith!
130. If the Lord knows at the first little "Boo!" you're going to stop trusting Him, then why should He do anything for you? He likes gold faith that goes through the fire, that's real faith! But if He knows that the next time the Devil says "Boo!" you're going to quit trusting Him, then why should He heal you?
131. When you're sick you need lots of rest and extra good nourishment, which gives the Lord a chance to repair your body and gives you a chance for lots of time with Him and His Word.
132. When you're sick you should do whatever you feel like doing! If you feel like lying in bed, you should lie in bed until you feel like trying. Keep lyin' till you feel like tryin'! But there has to come a time when you've got to get up and try.
