HEALING
FOR THE SICK
Through Faith In Jesus Christ
By Pastor Max Solbrekken
"...man is born unto trouble, as the
sparks fly upward." (Job 5:7)
"Many
are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord
delivereth him out of them all." (Ps. 34:19)
"Is any sick among you? let him call
for the elders of the Church; and let them pray over him,
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
"And the prayer of faith shall save
the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have
committed sins, they shall be forgiven him." (James
5:14-15)
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
(Matt. 7:7-8)
THERE IS HOPE FOR
YOU!
Multitudes today are suffering from a
disease or infirmity with no relief. They have frequented
doctors, clinics and hospitals with little or no help - and
are discouraged, angry and bitter!
Some have prayed earnestly regarding
their healing, had special prayer in their church by the
pastor and elders or by an evangelist whom God uses to bring
healing to the sick through faith in Jesus Christ - and
still are not healed!
Possibly someone reading this booklet
fits one of these categories. After your hospital visit or
prayer service, you are “not better”. You may even be
getting worse! Your faith is at a low ebb and you’re tired
of being tired, sick and defeated!
You feel like throwing up your hands in
despair since nothing helps, and accept weakness, pain,
sickness and distress as your lot in life!
MY DEAR FRIEND, THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR
YOU! It is not too late. It may seem hopeless, but it is
not. It may seem useless to think of deliverance, but it is
not. So long as you are alive and there is a God in Heaven,
there is hope!
The Bible says, “With men this is
impossible, but not with God, for with God all things are
possible”. (Mark 10:27) It may seem impossible to you but
with God NOTHING is impossible.
Man’s extremity becomes God’s
opportunity. And when man fails, that’s when God can take
over, for He never fails. When man “gives up on you”,
God is ready, willing and able to step in and bring to pass
a miracle in your life, because nothing is impossible with
Him!
When God could bring the world into being
by His spoken Word, hang the universe on nothing, fling the
sun, moon and stars into the farmost corner of the night to
rotate in perfect harmony, HE CAN ANSWER YOUR PRAYER!
"By the Word of the Lord were the
heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His
mouth." (Ps. 33:6). Since He has the ability to
create millions of moons, galaxies of stars and heavenly
bodies by a few words from Hs lips, most assuredly He is
able to destroy the cancer, heart disease, diabetes or
arthritis which is stealing your health.
WHEN AT THE TOUCH OF HIS HAND, GOD
CREATED A PERFECT HUMAN BEING IN HIS OWN IMAGE AND BREATHED
INTO MAN’S NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE MAKING HIM A LIVING
SOUL, SURELY HE CAN HEAL YOUR SICK SPIRIT, SOUL (MIND) AND
BODY!
The Great God Who brought back to life
the Lord Jesus Christ, can certainly quicken your mortal
body. When you think of how great and mighty our God is,
certainly nothing could be impossible to Him!
St. Paul declares: "But if the
Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in
you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken - make life in - your mortal (temporal, dying)
bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you". (Rom. 8:11)
Is God able to heal our weak, aging,
temporal bodies? Yes, He is able to and He does! Since
He (the Holy Spirit) brought Jesus Christ back from the
dead, He can most certainly heal our diseased and dying
bodies, says St. Paul.
In verse 26, the great apostle continues,
"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities (lit.
greek - takes a hold of against our sicknesses): for we know
not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit
itself (Himself) maketh intercession for us (lit. greek -
and together with us) with groanings (Holy Spirit prayer -
praying in tongues) which cannot be uttered".
The same Blessed Holy Spirit Who raised
Jesus Christ from the dead dwells within us and "takes
a hold of against our sickness" and “together with us”
prays to our Heavenly Father for our healing and
deliverance!
The Bible says, “All things are
possible to him that believeth”. (Mark 9:23) The first
truth we have established is that your case is not too
difficult for God and there is a good possibility of your
healing to take place!
THE BIBLE
STATES JESUS CAME TO BRING LIFE!
“The thief cometh not but for to steal
and to kill and destroy, but I am come that they might have
life and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
Jesus stated that the devil came for only
three reasons; to steal, kill and destroy! But Jesus came to
bring life! The devil is a thief and a murderer (John 8:44)
and came only to do evil (steal, kill and destroy). He
came to rob you of your happiness, joy, peace, health and
blessing. He came to harm you and destroy you in a hospital,
insane asylum or prison.
The devil is cruel, perverted, evil,
wicked and ungodly. He can only do evil. He has no
capability to do good. The devil is the death giver!
JESUS IS 100% GOOD! He came to bring
life. He came to bring blessings to all who would believe.
He came to bring ABUNDANT LIFE because
he is THE LIFE GIVER! Some
people have given the devil the credit for healing sick
people - this is blasphemous and utterly false. It is
contrary to God’s Word and accuses Jesus of telling an
untruth.
We know that Jesus is the truth, the life
and the way (John 14:6). The Word of God is pure, divine and
infallible!
JESUS SAID THAT YOU CANNOT GET GOOD FRUIT
FROM A CORRUPT TREE OR CORRUPT FRUIT FROM A GOOD TREE. By
their fruits we shall know them! Jesus said a corrupt tree
“bringeth not forth good fruit”. (Matt. 7:18) It is
against the law of a thorn tree to bring forth figs - you
can’t get sweet water out of a fountain that is bitter.
HOW COULD THE DEVIL, WHO IS COMPLETELY
EVIL, BRING FORTH SOMETHING THAT IS GOOD?
Jesus called the devil a thief who came
only to steal, kill and destroy. He came to earth for no
other purpose! Jesus came to bring life! Healing and health
is life! Sickness and disease brings death! The Bible
classifies 'healing' as 'doing good'!
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Ghost and with power, Who went about doing
good, healing all who were oppressed of the devil.” (Acts
10:38)
The message is plain and simple: The
devil made people sick but Jesus made them well. Sickness
comes from satanic sources and divine healing has its origin
in God! The literal greek states that Jesus Christ
healed all those who "were under the dominion,
authority or lordship of Satan". That is God's Word -
Believe it and be healed. Oh I know there are times
that it appears witch doctors and other occultists may have
affected cures by their incantations. Do not be
deceived. Satan is a deceiver and manipulator.
In the end, his involvement always brings enslavement,
torment & death.
The magicians (witch doctors and
soothsayers) of Egypt could duplicate many of the miracles
performed by Moses in the sight of Pharaoh (king) of Egypt.
There were two things they could not do, however.
No. 1 - They could not get rid of the
plagues even though they could duplicate Moses in bringing
forth the flies and frogs. Moses had to be called to get rid
of the plagues: eg. darkness, flies, frogs, lice, locusts.
Interpretation: Satan can bring the cancer but he has no
power to heal the person from the death dealing work of the
disease which he has brought. God is the only healer and
restorer!
No. 2 - When it comes to creating life,
the magicians could not create lice out of dust as Moses did
in the Name of the Lord.
The magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is
the finger of God”. (Ex. 8:19) Here is the interpretation:
Satan is a deceiver and trickster but he has no power to do
good, heal, save or create life! All he can do is deceive,
lie, steal and kill! Only God can heal and create life
and sustain it!
There are some things you must do if you
are to be healed. Study the accounts of sick folk - in the
Bible - who were healed, and if you do what they did, you
will certainly receive healing, because Jesus Christ is no
respecter of persons!
