The Promises of God Never Fails

Yesterday I was listening in my ipod a sermon preached by Dr. Steve Harper during one of the Chapel Services at the Asbury Theological Seminary in Orlando. This service was special to Ada and me because it was a healing service dedicated for our daughter Michelle. Since that service, I have the most incredible walk with Jesus that I have never imagine it before. I am not in liberty of publish at this point the whole story, however, there are some biblical principles I want to remind you today.

First, our God is Sovereign. God is the Alpha and the Omega, He is all powerful and certainly if we are sick He will heal us as He has already promised us in the Scripture. Nonetheless, He will use His willing method individually, according to His purpose in each of us.

Secondly, it is not the purpose of our God for us to be sick. We get ill because of our sinful nature. If you want to blame anyone for your illness or the sickness of your love one, then blame Adam and Eve.

Thirdly, God can use as methods of healing an instant miracle, a progressive miracle, healing through the medical science, and the ultimate healing. Jesus performed many instant miracles and throughout the history of the church from the stories we have recorded in the book of Acts through the ones we can see today in the crusades of Reinhard Bonnke in Africa. Furthermore, the progressive healing is also seen today as it was in the past because our God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Additionally, our Lord can use the medicine, either natural or conventional in which medical doctors, nurses, therapists, and medicines are used by God as a tool to bring healing to our bodies. Lastly, through the ultimate healing our Savior fulfill His healing promise once and for all. This is the best way to get healed, but it is also the the way less desired for us, the human beings. The ultimate healing is completed in that moment we depart from this world in order to be with our Heavenly Father for the eternity. When this physical body die, it is the time for a new chapter in our lives and once we are living for ever and ever in the presence of our loving Savior, we are not going to suffer of any illness ever, our deformities and limitations product of our illness would be replaced with perfect bodies, and we are going to eventually meet again with our family members and friends that also have died in Christ living with them for ever.

Therefore, the promises of God never fails. In one way or another, our love ones and friends will be healed by the power, love, and mercy of our Great and Almighty God. To Him be the glory, honor, and power forever and ever, Amen.
