Main Points
A look at the problem: "Sickness" - 4 types:
  1. Sickness for death. --1 John 5:16
  2. Sickness for discipline. --1 Corinthians 11:30-32
  3. Sickness for God's glory. --John 11:4
  4. Sickness from the enemy. --Luke 13:11
  5. A look at solutions: "Healing" - 5 views:
    1. Sensationalists
    2. Confessionalists
    3. Anti-Supernaturalists
    4. Rationalists
    5. Medical/Biblical/Spiritual Integration
    6. God's specific instruction for the physically ill is James 5:14-15
      • Who are the sick?
      • What are the sick to do?
      • What are the elders to do?
      • What does God promise to do?
      • What sin or other conditions might qualify God's promise to heal?
      • God's general application for physical health is James 5:16-18
        • What is the presumed relationship between sin and sickness in this passage?
        • What are we all told to do regularly for our health?
        • What kind of prayer has healing impact?
        • Who qualifies to be heard by God for healing and the miraculous?
        • Conclusion: Getting the "Big Picture" on healing. Three biblical models of healing:
          1. The intervention of God. --Acts 3:1-9
          2. The interaction of God. --1 Timothy 5:23
          3. The enabling of God. --2 Corinthians 12:9-10
          4. Miraculous healing is never primarily about solving a physical problem – it is almost always to affirm, or clarify, or deliver a person.
