God
Is Still in the Healing Business
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
...For I am the Lord that healeth thee.
(Ex. 15:26)
For I am the Lord, I change not.... (Mal. 3:6)
The
Lord said to Israel, "I am the Lord that healeth thee." God was Israel's
healer, so God provided physical healing under the Old Covenant. But
some people don't believe that the Lord heals today under the New
Covenant.
Now the children of Israel were never sons of God; they were only
servants of God. Since God did not want His servants sick-since He had
made provision for them to be well and live their full life out down
here on earth without sickness or disease-why would He want something
less for His sons? Wouldn't it be strange for God to want His servants
to be well, but His sons to be sick?
Under the New Covenant, we are God's sons. In the New Testament, Peter
says, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with
power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of
the devil..." (Acts 10:38).
This revelation from the Apostle Peter tells us that those Jesus healed
were oppressed of the devil. So Jesus is the healer, and Satan is the
oppressor. This text tells us that Satan is the author of sickness and
disease.
In the Old Testament, there is no dispute that God was the healer and
Satan was the one who made people sick. Yet many people today say that
God is not in the healing business anymore.
No! God is still in the same business that He has always been in, and
the devil is in the same business that he has always been in. God is
doing the same works that He has always done, and the devil is doing the
same works that he has always done. They have not changed.
Confession God does not change. Since He provided healing for His
servants under the Old Covenant, He also provides healing for me, His
child, today.
