There were three core elements to the very heart of Jesus’ mission: he came to announce the Kingdom, to heal the sick, and to destroy the works of the devil. He sent his followers to do the same. He said that those who believe in him would do the things that he did. The church over the centuries has experienced spurts in the expectation of divine healing. We have a mixed emotional response to healing – we are in awe at the times when God has raised someone up supernaturally and we are confused and disappointed when we do not get the immediate healing for which we prayed. We need to go back to the Scriptures to get a biblically grounded and theologically nuanced understanding of healing so that we can pray with a kingdom perspective.
