Matthew 7:11:
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Notes on Matthew 7:11:
If there were no explicit healing promises in the Bible, you could get healed just by believing this statement about God. God loves His children and longs for them to enjoy good things, just as you long for your children to enjoy good things. Once you see this, you can’t possibly believe that God wants you sick, because the Bible calls sickness a curse, not a good thing. Sickness is bad. Healing is good. I hope that you don’t need this book to tell you that, but you’d be surprised how many people think sickness can be a good thing (a “blessing in disguise”) because of man-made religious traditions. If sickness is good, why are there constant TV ads with remedies to alleviate its effects?
Any earthly parent would want to see a sick child be healed. God is an even better Father, so He is even more willing to bless you with healing! In fact, He’s paid the price for you to have it, so He doesn’t even have to make a decision about whether or not He’ll let you have it on this side of the cross. It’s already decided!
