IT IS GOD'S WILL THAT HIS PEOPLE ARE HEALTHY!
Francis McNutt, in his book HEALING prefaces his remarks with these words: "The best point of view, I think, is to see that 'God's normative will is that people will be healed, unless there is some countervailing reason."
The bible tells us that we are to
go and heal the sick From this one would
conclude that God wants the sick healed.
The bible also tells us that if he
calls us to do it he will see that it is done. He who calls you is faithful, who
also will do it 1 Thessalonians 5: 24
We pray "… Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven" The Bible shows us God's will:
