For many reasons, it can be difficult for us believe the Bible’s promises regarding physical healing. Maybe we’ve been disappointed in the past or misunderstood biblical teaching on the subject. Or perhaps we simply don’t believe God will perform miracles today as He did in biblical times.

In this message, Dr. Stanley teaches that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Just as physical healing played a significant role in Jesus’ earthly ministry, it is still important to Him today. Dr. Stanley uses personal examples of modern-day miracles and points to numerous biblical passages that emphasize God’s willingness to supply physical restoration.

Dr. Stanley also addresses:

- The role of faith in healing
- The importance of responding correctly to illness in our lives
- How fellow believers should be an integral part of our healing
- How God sometimes uses affliction to capture our attention
- Why we don’t experience healing every time we ask for it
- How to respond when God doesn’t answer our prayers for healing

This well-balanced, thoughtful sermon will not only increase your faith for healing but also motivate you to continue to seek the Lord when He doesn’t choose to heal.

This message is part of the series “The Promises of God.”

  • Jesus Christ healed me! This is my story about my healing!I was extremely ill! I had diabetes and kidney failure, which urgently requires dialysis! I prayed to God to heal me, not for me, because I don't deserve it, but for my little children, who were left without a mother! in exactly that day, in which I prayed, the Lord healed me! I suddenly felt the pain in my kidneys go away, as well as the dryness in my mouth (diabetes). I'm a new women now! I thank the Lord for His mercy and love for us!!!!!!

  • God healed me from genital herpes that I had contracted from an ex girlfriend. I was backsliding by fornicating and living for myself but I'm so grateful He is merciful and forgiving.

    I was blessed to witness Jesus healing through faith and prayer. An elderly lady in our church had a tumor the size of a softball and grew to this size quickly. The doctors had to operate but under preservation because of her age. The Sunday night service before the Tuesday operating date, the Lord laid on our pastors heart to pray for healing for this wonderful lady, with strict instruction that if you have 100% faith that God can heal, to come to the alter, laying hands on one anothers shoulders from the preacher and elders,(deacons), their hands on the lady needing healing, and went down to the newest babe(believer) of the congregation. When she walked into Wednesday night service we were surprised to see this blessing of a lady joining us. Carrying a large envelope with the pre-op ex-rays she had to have Monday before her surgery on Tuesday. The doctors were speechless! And told this fine lady, "we don't understand". She said, "that's ok. I do!" The tumor was gone!! PRAISE GOD!! HE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN!!💖🙏💖

    In 2013 when the doctor told me I had cancer I was devastated as anyone would be. To make a long story short, I prayer and cried and prayed and read all the healing words in a small book my church gave me. One night my brother dreamed that Jesus healed him and I asked if he thought that dream was meant for me as I am the one who is sick. I had this strong urgency in my heart to speak with God and when my brother hanged up the phone I went down on my knees and I asked Jesus if this dream was meant for me could you show me a sign please. And that same night I was heading to the bathroom I saw flashing lights coming up the steps, I thought strange it's not raining, no thunder and the steps are not close to the windows. A couple nights after I told my father and he said the light is the Father from Above. SUDDENLY, I remember my prayer and my life has never been the same since. I told everyone I meet that Jesus is Alive and He answered my prayer. This still bring tears to my eyes. What an Awesome God we serve.
  • I'm going to try to shorten this as much as possible🥰 God healed my mother. She had debilitating migraines for years. Couldn't work, couldn't drive, went to the ER weekly. She had tried every medication along with all the side effects. The last two options were Botox or something like restarting your brain. Medicare doesn't pay for those options. But God saw her. On her way to work one morning her vans tie rod broke and she crashed head on into a rock wall along the highway. Her van caught fire with her in and out of consciousness inside. A man, who should've already been at work, but stayed home a little later to finish breakfast with his wife, pulled my mother from her vehicle. He sustained his own 2nd and 3rd degree burns up his arms. When she got to the hospital, her burns were so bad they had to put her in a temporary coma for about a week. Praise God he brought my mother through the flames and she hasn't had a migraine since! It's been over a decade now and she is completely healed in more ways than one. God always works it for your good💖

    No matter what you’re going through, keep drawing near to God and He will draw near to you. No matter how much pain or suffering keep going to Him. He is the answer. I have had a horrible illness that won’t go away and left me very weak, a trip to the hospital and not able to work. Frustrating, upsetting, driven me to tears often, but I still draw close to God and He is with me. Do not give up on Him.
