Matthew 8:16-17, “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.”
Someone sent me this ridiculous video today after reading my article about my chronic neck pain, burning nerves and bodily afflictions...
This Prayer in Matthew DESTROYS Every Sickness (Pray This Daily)
(THIS VIDEO IS FALSE DOCTRINE!!!)
Kindly, this video is Charismatic junk theology. The Apostle Paul who once healed the sick in the power of Jesus lost his power by the end of the New Testament. 2nd Timothy 4:20, “Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.” So, it isn't always God's will to heal the sick. Healing is not always guaranteed.
The saint's body won't be redeemed until the Rapture. Romans 8:22-23, “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.”
Matthew 8:16-17 does not guarantee healing for everyone; it shows that Jesus healed many during His time, but it does not promise that all will be healed today. The understanding of healing in this context is often debated, with many believing it refers more to spiritual healing than physical healing.
The creator of this video ignores John 15:24, “If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.” Jesus did works (miracles) that NONE OTHER MAN DID to confirm His Messiahship. No saint has this power today. We can influence and reach far more people with the Gospel than Jesus did, and in that sense do greater works than Christ did, but NO ONE today can heal amputees, raise the dead or empty hospitals of the sick.
John 15:24, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
One day at the Rapture, Jesus will give every born again saint a resurrected immortal body, fashioned like unto His glorified body (Philippians 3:21; 1st Corinthians 15:51-58). Kindly said, what this video is horribly teaching is dangerous, offering false hope to people who are sick, suffering in pain and hurting. Suffering is as much a part of the Christian life as salvation itself. It is God's will for us to suffer in this earthly life...
Philippians 1:29-30, “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.”
We've got enough Benny Hinn nuts in the world who offer false hope to his victims. The 700 Club have been raking in trillions of dollars for decades, using Satanic clairvoyance through the television to offer false hope of healing to their millions of victims. Those evil money hungry scammers all belong in prison! They are already damned of God according to 2nd Peter 2:1-3.
In this heretical video, it is very wrong for the narrator to lead viewers to pray a prayer assuming that God will automatically heal you because you commanded God to do it. No Scripture permits this. Praying such nonsense is optimism, not biblical faith. Faith is humbly asking God to remove your thorn in the flesh, but if it is not God's will to do so, you won't be healed. James 5:14-16 teaches that the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, but we know by comparing Scripture with Scripture that this passage does not guarantee bodily healing.
The Bible is full of people who died premature deaths (Rachael, David, John the Baptist, James at age 40, David and Bathsheba's baby, Trophimus, et cetera). Granted, the redemptive suffering of Jesus at Calvary is the foundation and source of every blessing from God, whether spiritual or physical. It’s a serious mistake to think every blessing Christ secured through his redemptive suffering will be ours at this present time.
All such blessings shall indeed be ours, but let us not expect—far less demand—that we now experience the fullness of blessings God clearly reserved for Heaven in the age to come (Revelation 7:15–17; 21:3–4). Are these healings, performed by Jesus in Matthew 8:16-17, the result of the atonement? Yes. To whatever degree we experience healing in this life, it is the fruit of Christ’s atoning death. But it doesn’t necessarily follow that where there is atonement there is always guaranteed immediate healing.
This passage in Matthew 8:16-17 affirms that whatever healing occurs is indeed a result of Christ’s redemptive work. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that healing will always occur now as a result of that work. This is proper Bible exegesis that I have given you dear reader. Physical healing is not always guaranteed in this temporal lifetime on earth.
Certainly, we should never cease to pray for the sick to be healed. We should also give thanks that there is bodily healing for us through, or because of, the atonement of Jesus Christ. And we should acknowledge that whatever healing and health we experience now is a blessing that flows from Calvary’s cross. But let us also remember there are certain blessings God intends to bestow in their perfect fullness only when the Lord Jesus Christ returns.
Thank you for reading my ministry blog. Jesus is precious!!!
