1. It is God's Will to Heal You,
Because Healing is in His
Redemptive Plan.
Scripture reveals the nature of @od to us.
Scripture also reveals the attitude of @od toward
sin, sic7ness, and disease.
@odAs nature has not changed through the ages.
%either has /is attitude changed toward sin, sic7ness,

ou need to 7now this in order to understand divine
healing. $n fact, there are seven principal facts <oushould 7now about divine healing. 3he first is

$ remember something important Jesus said to me
once when /e appeared to me in a vision. /e was
tal7ing to me about this ver< subHect, and /e said,
$srael were not sons of @od.
3he< never had been born again. 3he< Hust had a
promissor< note on redemption. 3he< were servants of@od.
:nd Jesus said to me, $f @od didnAt want /is
servants sic7, <ou 7now /e doesnAt want /is sons sic7.
/alleluHahI
$n addition, the Bible tells us we have a !etter
covenant established on !etter promises he is the
mediator of a better covenant, &$ic$ &as esta!lis$ed
upon better promises" 8/eb. (+9.
$f divine healing is not provided under this better
covenant, it would not be a better covenant.
Under a covenant not as good as ours, the children
of $srael had the potential of going through life without
sic7ness or disease, of never, %EVE> being sic7, and ofliving the full length of their allotted <ears. Under our
!etter covenant 8the %ew 4ovenant9, do we have to go
through life sic7 and suffering $t doesnAt ma7e sense.

-hat is gifts of healings $t is a supernatural

:n<thing we get from @od is a gift. 3herefore,
