Another proof that God wants everyone healed is the fact that he will not withhold good things from upright Christians. Is healing a good thing? Ask any sick person. God never said that he would meet every need except healing needs. He never said that he would give good things except healing. Even if there were no regular healing verses in the Bible, the presence of these verses alone would prove that God is willing to heal everybody.

Psalm 23 talks about God's provision for us. It opens with the statement that I shall not want. Why? Because the Lord is my Shepherd. Certainly, if the Good Shepherd is in control of your life, you should not be in want. The verse means that you shall not lack, not that you shall not want anything. It doesn't mean that you won't want to be healed; it means you won't lack for healing! If God would not heal you, you would still be in want of healing if the Lord were your Shepherd, and this verse would not be true.


Psalm 34:9-10 says that those who seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. (Want again means lack.) You should not lack healing. Healing is a good thing, isn't it?

Psalm 84:11 says plainly that God will not withhold anything good from the upright. Healing is good, so God will not withhold it.

Psalm 145:19-20 says that the Lord fulfills the desire of those who fear him. If you are sick, you desire healing, don't you? God's will is to fulfill your desire.

Matthew 7:11 says that God gives good things to those who ask him. Is healing a good thing? Of course! Therefore, God will give it to those who ask for it.

James 1:17 shows another picture of God as the giver of every good and perfect gift.


Jesus said in Mark 11:24 that you can receive whatever you believe for when you pray. This includes healing. Jesus did not say that this would work for everything except healing.

If you're sick, is it your will to be healed? Jesus said in John 15:7-8 that if you abide in him and his words abide in you, you will ask what you will and it shall be done unto you. Therefore, if it is your will to be healed, and you let God's words abide in you, you know that you can be healed.

In John 15:16, Jesus made it plain that God would give you whatever you ask for in his name. You can ask for healing in the name of Jesus and God will give it to you. It has already been laid up in heaven for you. You are receiving something that already exists in the realm of the spirit.

John 16:23-27 contains yet another promise that you can ask the Father for anything in the name of Jesus and get it. That would include healing.


Matthew 18:18-20 shows us that when people agree on something in the name of Jesus, he is there in the midst of them to bring it to pass.

Romans 8:32 says that God freely gives you all things with his Son.

Even if you never read a traditional "healing Scripture," the facts shown above would be sufficient to let you know that you can ask God for healing and get it -- because healing is a good thing!
