5 Things the Bible Says About Your Divine Healing


Listen Later

Is divine healing real? Is it biblical? And if it is — why aren't more people walking in it?

In this message from our series "We Are Openly Spirit-Filled," Pastor Jason Mayfield tackles one of the most debated and misunderstood topics in the modern church: divine healing. Not with hype. Not with gimmicks. But with a straightforward, scripture-heavy walk through what the Bible actually says about God's desire and provision to heal His people.

Starting in Isaiah 53, Pastor Jason lays the foundation that healing wasn't an afterthought — it was provided at the cross. The same sacrifice that purchased your forgiveness also purchased your healing. They're inseparable provisions of the same atonement. But before he even gets there, he addresses the thing that keeps more believers from receiving healing than anything else — and it's probably not what you'd expect.

From there, the message unpacks five biblical realities about healing that every believer needs to understand: that healing is provided in the atonement, that God has always identified Himself as a healer, that healing is explicitly God's will, that healing covers more than just the physical body, and that walking in healing requires personal revelation — not just repetition.

This isn't a message that dodges the hard questions. Pastor Jason openly talks about his own surgeries, his own pain, and the tension between preaching divine healing while living in a body that sometimes breaks down. He's not selling you a magic formula. He's pointing you to the finished work of Jesus and challenging you to build your theology on what the Bible says — not on what your circumstances say.

One of the most powerful moments in this message comes toward the end, when Pastor Jason breaks down why so many people in Word of Faith circles are quoting the right scriptures and still seeing no results. Using John chapter 1, he draws a line between simply saying the Word and the Word actually becoming flesh — becoming real, becoming revelation — in your life. It's a distinction that most preachers skip over, and it might be the missing piece for a lot of people listening to this.

Whether you're believing God for healing right now, you've been wrestling with doubt about whether God even wants to heal you, or you just want to understand what the Bible teaches on the subject, this episode is for you.
