What is the Will of God Concerning Healing?
says, “Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove…” Prove means “test and find out.”
What are you going to find out?
“…what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.”
says “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may dprove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
Prove means “test and find out.”
What are you going to find out?
“…what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.”
Now, if everything that happens is the will of God, why do you need this “renewal and testing and proving”?
You wouldn’t need any of that because everything is the will of God.
He’s saying you’ve got to get your mind renewed so that you think right.
You’ve got to learn some things and be taught and understand some things so that you can test everything that’s around you and decide: Will of God? No, that’s not the will of God.
Or that’s good; that’s the will of God.
Are we supposed to learn how to discern, prove, test, and find the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God? Who’s supposed to find out what the will of God is?
You are.
I am.
Is it going to take a little doing?
Yes, it is.
You’re going to have to make some changes in your thinking.
Your mind needs to be renewed; it’s kind of like being reprogrammed.
“Renewed” indicates something was in there, and we need it renewed.
We need something else to go over it.
There are going to be some changes in how you think.
We need some mind renewal.

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
Is everyone doing that—giving thanks all the time and in everything?
Is there any griping and complaining going on?
Is that the will of God? How did we find out it wasn’t the will of God?
We find it right here in the verse.
If giving thanks is the will of God in every situation, then griping cannot be the will of God.
If being healed is the will of God, then being sick can’t be the will of God.
There are a lot of folks with degrees and initials at the end of their name who think it’s more complicated than this.
Of course, they don’t have a scripture for it, and what they say they believe is inconsistent with other areas of their life.
Besides that, they’re hypocritical about it.
If you do not believe in healing, then don’t try to get healed—at least be honest about it.
Don’t go to the doctor.
If you believe you’re supposed to be sick, but you’re trying to get better, then you’re trying to get out of the will of God.
Now I know this sounds simplistic, but I’m telling you, people have all kinds of places they go to find the will of God except the Bible.
What is our final authority?
I’ve had people say, “Well, I just believe… This is what I think...” That doesn’t matter.
“I’ve got just as much right to what I believe as you do.”
No, you don’t, nor do I. “Well, everyone is free to believe what they want to believe, and if that’s what I believe, that’s what I believe.”
If you are a Christian, you’ve already been told what to believe, and it’s not okay for you to just say, “Well, this is what I believe about it.”
Is it based on Scripture?
Based on what Word?

Based on what Word?
Men are confused.
The enemy tries to confuse people through ministers, through preachers, and through people writing books.
They have confused and muddied the issues through the years and centuries.
If you’ll read this Gospel without your religious-colored glasses on, you will see that everyone who ever came to Jesus to be healed left healed.
Every one of them.
There was no one who was told that God was working something out in their life, and He told them they had to wait, or that it wasn’t time.
It’s not there.
These are familiar phrases, but they’re not in the Bible.
They are men’s fabrications trying to explain why something didn’t happen.
They are proud men and women’s explanations trying to get all of the responsibility off of themselves for anything.
It’s mighty convenient.
The problem is, people stay sick, and they die young and prematurely.
People say, “It was the will of God, and God needed another angel in the choir.
He took them, and we don’t know why.”
But that’s not true.
None of it is true.
Now, if they were saved, glory to God, they’re in heaven.
That’s great.
But you don’t have to be robbed of years in this life—of good service and bearing fruit.
Let me give you three reasons why Christians are sick and stay sick.
These are Christians now, not non-Christians.
The first one is what we’re already talking about.
Millions of Christians don’t know that it is His will for them to be healed.
They still question it and debate it.
They don’t know that healing is bought and paid for, or that it belongs to them, just like the forgiveness of sins.
If they don’t know it, they’re not going to claim it.
As long as you question His will on it, you cannot have faith.
Brother F. F. Bosworth, author of the book Christ The Healer, said, “Faith begins where the will of God is known.”
This is true concerning being born again.
When you knew God loved You, you knew He paid the price for you, and you knew it was His will to save you, you had faith to be born again.
Well, you also have to know that God’s power can heal you, it is His will to heal you, and the price has already been paid.
Many, many do not know that, or if they heard it, they didn’t accept it.
We know that is the case with salvation.
What if someone says, “Well, do you believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior?” and the person answers, “Uh, well, not really.
Does it make any difference if I believe it or not?” Yes!
Does it make any difference in what you believe about healing?
Yes.
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
3 Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;
Notice first of all the word benefits.
It is plural.
Are there many benefits of serving God.
Yes.
The pardoning of our iniquities is one of the benefits.
