By the authority of His Word, God has made provision for our healing. It is not the will of God that anyone be sick with any sickness or disease or pain whatsoever from hangnails to tuberculosis!
The Bible says that when multitudes of people came to Jesus, He had compassion on them and healed their sick (Matt. 14:14).
If God heals only a few, how did Jesus know which ones to heal? Did some have red crosses on their heads so that He would spot them easier? Did He think, "That one with the red cross I'm supposed to heal, but the one with the white cross I'm not?"
The Bible say in Acts 10:38, "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil."
Not once in the entire New Testament did Jesus refuse to heal anybody. When a person said, "Master, I know You can heal me if You will," not once did Jesus say, "I know I can too but I won't." Throughout His ministry, Jesus expressed the will of God which was, "I will, be thou clean" (Mark 1:41).
Some people may say, "But we learned from our pastor that everybody has to be sick sometime." As long as that pastor keeps saying that, he will never be bothered with healing. Those people have been taught incorrectly. They need to get in the Word and learn the truth.
The Word says, "These signs shall follow the believer...They shall lay hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover" (Mark 16:17-18).
After Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, God said, "I am the Lord that healeth thee" (Ex. 15:26). He wasn't just talking to Moses. He was talking to about three million people in the camp. He meant that all of them would be healed!
The Psalmist said in Psalm 103:
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles.God not only forgives us of sin, but He includes the healing of all our diseases among the benefits of His blessing.
(Ps. 103:2-5)

Dr. Jerry Savelle was an average, blue-collar man who was struggling and needed God's help. While he considered himself a "nobody," when he became a believer God told him not to worry about it because He was a master at making champions out of nobodies. God has since taken Dr. Savelle from being a constant quitter to a man who knows how to stand on the Word of God until victory is experienced. Because of the life-changing combination of God's faithfulness and Dr. Savelle's "no quit" attitude, his life is totally different than it was thirty-eight years ago.
