Jesus Never Taught Healing.

Jesus never taught healing. He taught faith and authority, but not healing. Why didn’t He teach healing? Because there is no formula. If there was, all those well learned doctors would have that formula by now. Every time Jesus healed someone, He healed them in a different way, because there is no formula, just faith.

First was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. When you declare the Word, you declare the substance. That substance is Jesus, for Jesus is the Word that was and is, with God.

10-11 years ago, my husband had cancer in his lower abdomen. By the time it was noticeable, it was the size of a football. He was operated on and the mass was removed. My family and I had prayed and thankfully he needed no further treatment. John was just told to come back for a check-up every 6 months, to make sure it didn’t regrow.

2 years later, after his 4^th check-up, John called to tell me, the doctors had found nodules on his lungs. Having worked with asbestos in his former years and having once been a heavy smoker, this was not a surprising outcome to him.

In beating cancer previously, I refused to go down this path again and declared…No, this has already been dealt with and healed. I’m not accepting it and I decree that these nodules shrink and dissipate. Whenever John brought up the issue, I reminded him, we’re praying that the nodules dissolve.

6 months later, his next check-up and the nodules hadn’t grown any greater. 6 months after that and the nodules had shrunk, disappearing from whence they came. John mentioned to the doctor: my wife’s a Christian and she said this would happen. He didn’t realise, he was being a witness at this time. John’s check-ups are now 2 years apart and he’s still cancer free.

Shortly after, John had a knee replacement. When the x-rays were initially taken, the radiologist stated he didn’t know how John was still walking. When the surgeon saw the x-ray, he exclaimed “Oh John, your knee is shot.”

A week after the operation, John needed to go back, to have clean bandages applied. The second week, John’s bandages didn’t need to go back on and by week 4 he was walking like a young man again, something he hadn’t done in 25 years. His doctor sent the surgeon a letter stating this was the fastest healing on a knee replacement she’d ever had walk through her door.

Jesus was only ever amazed twice in the bible and both times it was because of “great faith,” as in the roman soldier (Matt 8:5-13), who said Jesus only need to command it, as he too is under authority and the woman who claimed even dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their master's table, in Matt 15:27. Jesus healed on both occasions, because of their great faith.

John is an unbeliever, an atheist (don’t ask).  However, if Jesus will heal an unbeliever, what do you think He will do for you, His bride! For all who ask, receive and although John is an unbeliever, I and my family had asked and John has been healed.

When we take of the bread and the wine, we take in faith all the promises of God, written in His word. Jesus gave us all power and authority and He asked that we remember Him often, by the taking of the body and the blood and so we do that today, in remembrance of Him, in thankful appreciation of all that He did and in faith of all that He will do, that we may live and live life abundantly.
