God wants you well


There are 17 times in the gospels where Jesus healed all of the sick that were present. He healed them after He had preached the word and built their faith in God.

  • Matthew 4:23-24
  • Matthew 8:16-17
  • Matthew 9:35
  • Matthew 12:15
  • Matthew 14:14

  • Luke 4:40
  • Luke 6:17-19
  • Luke 7:21
  • Luke 9:11
  • Luke 17:12-17

There are 47 other times He healed one or two people at a time.

  • Matthew 8:1-4
  • Matthew 8:5-13
  • Matthew 8:14-15
  • Matthew 8:28-34
  • Matthew 9:1-8
  • Matthew 9:20-33

  • Matthew 12:22-23
  • Matthew 15:21-28
  • Matthew 17:14-18
  • Matthew 20:30-34
  • Mark 1:21-31
  • Mark 1:40-45
  • Mark 2:1-12
  • Mark 3:1-5
  • Mark 5:1-20
  • Mark 5:25-43
  • Mark 7:24-37
  • Mark 8:22-26
  • Mark 9:14-29
  • Mark 10:46-52
  • Luke 4:33-39
  • Luke 5:12-15
  • Luke 5:17-26
  • Luke 6:6-10
  • Luke 7:1-17
  • Luke 8:27-39
  • Luke 8:43-56
  • Luke 9:37-42
  • Luke 11:14
  • Luke 13:11-17
  • Luke 14:1-5
  • Luke 18:35-43
  • Luke 22:51
  • John 4:46-54
  • John 5:2-15
  • John 9:6-7
  • John 11:43-44

So Jesus added, When you have lifted up the Son [on the cross], you will realize (know and understand) that I am He [for Whom you look] and I do nothing of Myself (of My own accord or on My own authority), but I say [exactly] what My Father has taught me. And He Who sent me is ever with Me; My Father has not left Me alone, for I always do what pleases Him. ~John 8:28-29 Amplified KJV

Nowhere do we find Jesus refusing to heal anyone. In light of Jesus' statements in Jonh 8:28-29 and John 5:19 in that He could do and say nothing of Himself but only what He saw the Father do and speak, His words and actions are proof enough that it is God's will for us to be well.
