Why God Can Never Withhold Healing from You

Satan sometimes fools Christians into thinking that God is withholding their healing from them because He’s upset or because their Christian walks don’t measure up.  So let’s clear the air on this one and prove that God can NEVER withhold healing from you.

Ephesians 1:3 tells us that God has blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings.  2 Peter 1:3-4 tells us that God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.  1 Peter 2:24 doesn’t tell you that Jesus’ stripes provided a way that you might be able to get healed.  Rather, it declares healing as something that is already yours because it was purchased with Jesus’ stripes.  The Holy Spirit wasn’t given to help you get things from God; He was given to show you the things that God ALREADY gave you (1 Corinthians 2:12).  Paul didn’t pray that the Ephesians would GET an inheritance from God; He prayed that God would open their eyes to see the inheritance that they ALREADY HAD (Ephesians 1:15-23).

God can’t withhold healing from you because it is already your legal possession.  It belongs to you as a believer.  It’s ridiculous to think that God WON’T give you something that He already GAVE you!

Just as a natural illustration, say that Rich Mann, host of the show “Something for Nothing” on the Reality Network, shows up out of the blue and deeds over a nice car to a couple named Reid and Kawmi Marks.  The camera crew then gets to track them for a while to see how their lives are changed.  At one point, Reid and Kawmi have a conversation on camera about how they actually detest rich people and think that their wealth should be forcibly redistributed by the government.  Then Reid realizes that they just “bit the hand that fed them” and says in despair to Kawmi, “There’s no use trying to use that car today.  Rich is probably mad because of what we said, and there’s no way he’ll let us have the car today.”  Kawmi says, “But that car is already OURS.  Rich has no say about it because he gave it to us.  The title is in our name.  If Rich has a problem with us, it’s too late!  Let’s go drive our car!”

While Rich was unhappy with how the Marks couple responded after his gift, he still didn’t take it back.  A deal is a deal.  (He was at least grateful that he was the comfortable host of “Something for Nothing” rather having to be the star of “Alone in the Wilderness,” where he would have had to brave the elements while not letting the footprints or shadow of the cameraman get into any shots and spoil the illusion of total solitude.)

Of course, Kawmi was right – when something is already yours, it’s too late for someone to “withhold” it from you.  That is why God can never withhold healing from you.  It’s already yours.  The only issue is whether you will walk in the healing that He already “deeded over” to you.
