“And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them” (Matt. 8:14-15).
When Jesus came to Peter’s house, Jesus didn’t fast and pray to see what the Father wanted Him to do. He just knew that God’s will is healing for all. Therefore, it had to be God’s will for Peter’s mother-in-law to be healed and whole.
You can come to that same conclusion yourself just by studying the Gospels. For example, think about this: How many people did Jesus walk up to and make sick?
None.
How many people did He tell, “This sickness is for the glory of God, so keep it awhile”?
None.
How many times did He say, “No, I can’t heal you”?
Never. How many people who wanted healing did He turn down?
None. How many times did He say, “No, wait until later; I’ll do it in My own good time”?
Never.
Remember, Jesus’ every move in His earthly ministry was the will of God in action. He said, “If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father.” So when we see that Jesus never turned anyone down, that tells us that God never turns anyone down.
Jesus never said, “Wait,” so God never says, “Wait.” Jesus never said, “This sickness is good for you,” so God never says, “This sickness is good for you.” Jesus did nothing but set people free; therefore, God does nothing but set people free.
Jesus is all the proof we need that it’s God’s will to heal everyone!
I see my Father when I look at Jesus.
Just as Jesus is the same, yesterday, today
and forever, so also my Father never changes.
His will was healing then, and His will is healing
for me now. So I say, “Let Your will be done, Lord!”
