The spiritual gift of healing found in 1 Corinthians 12:9 is actually in plural form in Greek. Charismata iamaton is literally translated “gifts of healings.” This spiritual gift is closely related to the gifts of faith and miracles. All spiritual gifts are to be exercised in faith, but gifts of healings involve a special measure of it. This gift is interesting in that there is no guarantee that a person will always be able to heal anyone he or she desires. It is subject to the sovereign will of God, as all spiritual gifts are.

The Disciples were given authority to heal and cast out demons, but they were not always successful. The Apostle Paul was not able to heal himself and was told that God’s grace was sufficient to carry him through his infirmity without removing it from him.

‭And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. ⁸ Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. ⁹ And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ¹⁰ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

—2 Corinthians 12:7-10

This gift is given at various times and places to reveal the God of heaven to the sick and tormented. If healing is not granted, then we can conclude that God has greater plans for letting the person go through the illness or infirmity.

The spiritual gift of healing is an intimate one as it reveals the heart and compassion of God. Jesus is the Great Healer and Physician and during His ministry on earth, He healed countless people and cast out demons.

“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. ²⁴ Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.”

—Matthew 4:23-24

‭“When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick”

—Matthew 8:16

‭“Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.”

—Matthew 9:35

“Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.”

—Mark 1:34

Healings reveal that God is near to His people and He cares about their sufferings. Healings are meant to draw people to God through His Son Jesus Christ. God wants those healed to respond in faith with thanksgiving and love as the leper did in:

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, ¹⁶ and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

—Luke 17:15-19

and as the demon-possessed man did in:

And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. ¹⁹ However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.” ²⁰ And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled.

—Mark 5:18-20

By God’s grace, physical healing should lead to spiritual healing (faith in Jesus) and eternal life with Him in heaven.

Those who have this gift are compassionate toward the sick and pray over them regularly. They have great faith and trust that God can and will heal some, and are not deterred when He chooses not to. They are motivated knowing that God’s revealed power will draw people to faith in Jesus. Their ultimate concern is the spiritual well-being of those being healed and their relationship with Jesus. They yearn for the day that there will be no more pain and suffering, and sin will no longer wreak havoc on the people of God.

“to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,”

—1 Corinthians 12:9

“And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.”

—1 Corinthians 12:28

“Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret?”

—1 Corinthians 12:30

“‭Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. ¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? 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. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. ¹⁶ Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

—James 5:13-16

[e-devotion]

Jesus is most important

The following e-devotion was first shared in August of 2020.  It remains true and strong today.

Colossians 3:3-4  NLT

But Jesus deserves far more glory than Moses, just as a person who builds a house deserves more praise than the house itself. 4 For every house has a builder, but the one who built everything is God.

Jesus is more important than anyone or anything else.  There I said it.

This is not a popularity contest or a shouting match to get the most attention.  This is not a protest or a political statement.  Simply I acknowledge that my relationship with the one true and living God is the most important thing.  And it always will be.

If we could just for a moment focus on what matters, it might make more sense of all that is going on around the world.  Please know that this is not a statement to be controversial.  In fact this is just a statement of worship AND of worry.

Jesus is the most important.

No matter who is president, Jesus is still God and the only way to heaven.

Not matter the presence of the cancer or some other sickness or addiction, Jesus is still the help, hope and healer.

No matter the path of a storm or the impact left behind, Jesus is still peace and His presence is real.

For a few minutes today focus on the truth that Jesus is the most important.

Hard to be a god is a really funny book because it's about a proto Hitler taking control of some medieval kingdom but he's actually supposed to be Beria except he didn't do any of the shit the guy in the book does cause instead of political purges he just wipes out anyone who's literate because they're literate which Hitler didn't really do either

Like it's very obviously a book about the importance of intelligentsia and the evils of anti-intellectualism that hurt not only them but everyone but I don't get the need to present this story in some medieval purge era USSR that just takes away from the experience when readers acquainted with the period will just say "hey this is just supposed to be that, but that's not how it happened!"

And the funniest thing is that the book was largely written due to party pushback led by KHRUSHCHEV against overly abstract (so not following the socialist realism movement) or pornographic (or I guess otherwise vulgar) art in the Soviet union so how the hell are you writing your "the intellectual is the most important member of society and should never EVER be hindered" book about a fake Hitler/Beria that's really just doing a more extreme version of something you were upset Khrushchev did? I can only guess it had to be like that out of fear Khrushchev would otherwise dislike it?

Also there's a really cute reference to the doctor's plot when an "irukanian" (which is not just an unsubtle anagram for ukrainian but this world's Jewish people lmao) healer attempts to poison the king and justifies fake Hitler/Beria's little kristallnacht

The Shadow manga is out.

I’m sorry to say this but Shadow is a fraudulent ultimate life form. The ultimate medical military weapon, human Sonic (Baoh), had healing powers that could bring girls back from the dead. Shadow failed to cure Maria.

*Jesus powers activate*

Oh, evil demonic DNA from Black Doom couldn’t cure her? Imagine my shock!

Won't He Do It

Psalms 144:1-2 There is only one strong, safe, and secure place for me; it’s in God alone who gives me strength for the battle. He’s my shelter of love and my fortress of faith, who wraps himself around me as a secure shield. I hide myself in this one who subdues enemies before me. Get A Kingdom Perspective Don’t quit. You are seeing things through the eyes of a worldly viewpoint. God is right…
