‘God Can, And Will Heal, IF It’s His Will To Do So??’

Rom 8:22  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 

Rom 8:23  And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 

Rom 8:24  For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 

Rom 8:25  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 

Romans chapter 8 gives the unfortunate circumstances of the truth of every person who is born unto creation itself; and that is, we are all subject unto the bondage of corruption, and that we have no physical “hope” from the “pain,” and sufferings” of our bodies on the earth today. But Romans chapter 8 also teaches us that we have a ‘unseen hope’ that we are to ‘look’ for. We are taught that the hope we are to trust in is the “hope that we see not,” and this concerns the redemption of our body, not the healing of our physical bodies. And the question is, why is it that today’s preacher teaches a false doctrine that God will physically heal the bodies of the believers to day? This all boils down to the pastor himself being a novice, and mishandling the word of truth, whether he knows it or not, he himself can become an enemy of the cross of Christ based upon his teaching the Saints to “mind earthly things.” And our earthen vessels are part of the earthly things that we could mind and place an importance upon instead of the Spiritual things that be of God and the Spiritual things that pertain to the inward man himself.

2Co 4:16  For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 

2Co 4:17  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 

2Co 4:18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 

Moreover, the hope we are given by our Father concerning our outward man is that our outward man will definitely perish. And this doesn’t mean that what Paul is saying is that it will eventually die one day. Paul mentions that concerning the ‘inward man,’ he has a “day by day” hope, and so does the outward man. But oftentimes, many feel that God has promised to ‘renew and refresh’ the bodies of the believers day by day, or whenever it’s His will to do so, this is not scriptural, and is actually contrary to what the will of God is for the believer today. But today’s religion teaches a false hope doctrine that says that, ‘God can, and will heal IF it’s His will to do so, not only does the this mean that they themselves do not know what the will of God is, but if this were true, how does the saints know ‘when’ He will do it. And if it were true, is there anything that the Saints themselves need to do, or not to do to receive God’s ‘will?’ And the question is, where is it in God’s Word of truth that He said that he will physically heal the Saints today? God’s will and hope is for our inward man only, and His love, His Word, and His power, is designed to work effectually within our inward man only, not the outward man.

2Co 5:1  For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 

2Co 5:2  For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 

2Co 5:3  If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 

2Co 5:4  For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 

Therefore, it is the vain imagination of the man today whereby he assumes that God would physically heal or intervene in the physical circumstances of the believers today. And this has become the case based upon the ‘high-minded’ nature of the Man. He assumes that God loves his flesh just as much as the man does. But as we can clearly see in the verses above and below, our outward man is an earthen vessel with no hope, and it is designed to ‘house’ the Word of God, and the life of Christ, but man instead assumes that our bodies are supposed to have an appearance of godliness, and our bodies is where true holiness is shown, and that is through health, wealth, and relationship. Today, the hope that we ought to pray for, and look unto is that our inward man have the renewed mind and that we be conformed unto the Image of His Son, not that we continue to abide in these earthen vessels, and that God would place an importance upon, and treasure and nurture this body for our benefit so that we can continue to “make provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof,” but sadly enough, this is what man assumes whether he knows this is the case or not.

2Co 5:6  Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 

2Co 5:7  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 

2Co 5:8  We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
