Sermon Tone Analysis

We’re going to *continue teaching* on the *subject* of *healing* today.

We *have seen* *many* people *through* the *Word* of God *get healed* and we have *seen* *people* *receiving* their *healing* as they *come* up *for prayer*.

We know that *divine healing is a reality*, *but* all *to often* we *ask* the *question*, “*/Will God heal me/*?”

There is *no way to know weather God will heal you or not unless you know it from the Word of God*.

The *Bible reveals the will of God*.

*As we study* the scriptures we *must conclude* that *it is the will of God to heal his children*.

*I.

*In the book of (*/Exodus 15:26/*) God says, “*/For I am the LORD that healeth thee/*.”

*A.

**This* is *part of the covenant* that God set up *between His people* *and Himself*.

*1.

**/HEB 8:6/*

                                  *a.

**Not only* was *healing part* *of* the *Old Covenant*, but it’s also *part of* the *New Covenant*.

*b.

**According* to this *V* we *just read* it’s *established upon better promises*.

*2.

*The word “*/Established/*” in (*/HEB 8:6/*) *literally means* from the *Greek* “*/To enact laws/*.”

*a.

*You *could read this V* like this, (*/Hebrews 8:6/*) “*/But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which/* */enacted the law/* */of better promises/*.”

*i.

*The */covenant promises/* that we have *from the Word* of God are a */spiritual laws/*.

*ii.

*We *never have to wonder* “*/will God heal us/*” *God* is *obligated* to *keep His Word*.

It’s a *spiritual law*.

*B.

**In* the *NT* or the *New Covenant* we see *healing* even *more* *prevalent*.

*1.

**/MATT 12:15/*

                                  *a.

**This* is *just* */1/* *example*, but we see this *same* thing *throughout* the *Word* of God.

              *C.

**Many* have *said* that the *work* that *Jesus did* *on* the *earth* was *t*o *prove* that *He was God*, *God the Son.

*

                        1. *Not only did He prove* that *He was the Son of God*, *but* He *also* *came revealing* the *will of God* the Father.

*a.

**/HEB 10:7/* (This is in reference to the Lord Jesus Christ.)

*b.

*Look at */HEB 10:9/*

                                           *i.

*In (*/John 4:34/*) Jesus said, “*/My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work/*.”

*2.

**Jesus did* the *will of God* *and* He *healed all that came to Him*.

                                  *a.

*(*/Hebrews 13:8/*) Says, “*/Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever/*.”

*D.

**Jesus commissioned* the */12/* to *heal the sick*.

*1.

**/MATT 10:5-8/*

                        *2.

*Then later *He commissioned the**/ 70/*.

*a.

**/LUKE 10:1-5, 9/*

                        *3.

**Then* Jesus said */to all the believers/* in (*/Mark 16:17-18/*) “*/And these signs shall follow/* */them that believe/*; */In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (18) They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover/*.”

*II.

**From the beginning* *to* the *present* *we see healing*.

*God* has *provided* *healing through Christ’s redemptive work*.

*A.

*Turn to */ISA 53:4-5/*

                        *1.

*In (*/V 4/*) where it says, “*/Surely he hath borne our grief’s, and carried our sorrows/*.”

*a.

*The word “*/Grief’s/*” *Literally means* from the *Hebrew* “*/Sickness or disease/*.”

*b.

*And the word “*/Sorrows/*” *means* “*/pains either physical or mental/*.”

*2.

*When */Jesus/* went to that */cross/* He */paid/* not only our */sins/*, but also for our */sicknesses/*, */diseases/*, */and our physical and mental pains/*.

*a.

*Then *He* *adds* in (*/V 5/*) “*/And with his stripes we are healed/*.”

*B.

*There are *many healings* that took place *in the OT* *through* */types and shadows/* of *Christ’s redemptive work*.

*1.

*The *cleansing* of the *lepers* in (*/LEV 14/*).

*2.

*The *healing* of the *plague* in (*/NUM 16/*).

*3.

*The *Brazen Serpent* in (*/NUM 21/*).

*4.

*The *healing of Job* in (*/JOB 33/*).

and *many more*.

*C.

*Turn to */PSA 103:3/*

                        *1.

/Sin and sickness/* are very */closely related/*.

*a.

**Sickness* *would not* *have* ever *come* *into* the *world* if it *wasn’t for Adam’s sin*.

*b.

**Remember* the *man* that was *impotent in his feet* that would *lie at the pool* of *Bethesda*?

                                           *i.

*Jesus said to him in (*/John 5:14/*) “*/Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee/*.”

*ii.

*Jesus told him to sin* no more* *or* he *could get worse*.

*a.

**Sin deteriorates the body*.

(Sexual sin)

                        *2.

*Look at */1PET 2:24/**.

**Notice how closely sin and sickness are related in this V. *

                                  *a.

**We have redemption from sin and sickness* *by* the shed *blood of Jesus* *and* by the *stripes that He borne*.

*i.

*I *don’t want to make* it *sound like* I’m *saying* that *if you are sick* *it’s because you have sinned*.

*ii.

**Some times* that *might be true*, but *it’s not always the reason*.

*iii.

**There is an adversary out there*, *Satan* who *seeks to kill*, *steal*, and *destroy*.

(sickness)

                                  *b.

*But *everyone that seeks Jesus* as *Lord and savior* *receives* *redemption* *from* their *sins*, but at the *same time* *healing* is made *available* to them.

*i.

**It’s theirs*, they *may not apply* the *healing* power of God *to their lives*, but it’s theirs, it’s *part of your covenant*.

*c.

*Turn to */ROMANS 10:13/* “*/For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved/*.”

*i.

*The word “*/SAVED/*” means “*/Salvation/*”, but it also means “*/Healed/*.”
