Hindu Healed of Incurable Cancer
© 98-12 Colin Melbourne
An Indian Hindu at his wit's-end, and under sentence of death from cancer, is sent home to die by his doctors. He'd exhausted every avenue of treatment he could find. Ayuravedic therapy, offerings to Hindu idols, yoga, spiritism, New Age diets, herbal remedies, and of course traditional medical and surgical science.
He had undergone five abdominal operations to cut the cancer from his body, to no avail. The mass in his belly was so large, it made him appear to be carrying a child. The cancer had cost him his job, his joy, his wealth, and soon would take his life as well. He had not yet reached 45 years of age.
Are you like this man? Hopeless, helpless, and duped by the devil into putting your faith into anything except God's Medicine, His Living Word, The Lord Jesus Christ? Be inspired by what happened next.
The Hindu attended a Gospel crusade and listened attentively to the Good News that Christ is Almighty God in the Flesh, and He offers free salvation to whoever will repent and believe in Him. That He will forgive all your sins, give you eternal life, righteousness, peace, and heal all your sicknesses and infirmities by simple faith in Him.
"What a deal! What have I got to lose?" He must have thought to himself.
The dear desperate man was convinced, and immediately repented, trusting in Christ as only Lord and Saviour. Following a simple prayer for salvation, he requested prayer for healing. Encouraged by the Evangelist, he publically threw away his idols, charms, and religious trinkets (a very brave sign of genuine repentance in such a superstitious society), and put his whole trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Evangelist rebuked the cancerous spirit, commanding it to go in Jesus' Name. Immediately, the man's face lit up, and he yelled, "I felt it go!" Clutching his stomach he discovered it had returned to normal size, and wept in silent gratitude, made speechless by the love and grace of God. Saved and healed through simple faith in the Blood of Christ.
Jesus will do the same for you if you will only believe!
Christ died so you can enjoy complete forgiveness as well as perfect health. God wants every Christian to be physically healed as much as He wants you to be forgiven.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases Holy Bible, Psalm 103:2-3 KJV
Forgiveness and healing are gifts from God, you can't earn them, you simply receive them by faith. Faith is knowing God will keep His Promises, and do what He said He'll do.
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Ro.10:17 God's Promises are His will for us. Everyone of His blessings must come by faith. You too can have faith for healing because you know it is His will to heal you now. You will not have faith for healing until you stop doubting this Gospel fact.
God commands us to ask believing that we receive what we ask for.
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. James 1:6-7 KJV
Nobody is saved until they're sure God wants to forgive them, that God loves them, and Christ died for their sins. When they grasp that salvation is for everyone who will believe in Christ Jn. 3:16, Ro.10:13, Rev. 22:17 they accept the gift of eternal life, and are born again. It's exactly the same for healing. If you're sick or infirm in any way, be convinced by God's Promises that it is His will to heal you physically now.
Traditional religion tells you to qualify your prayer for healing with, "If it is your will Lord." Such a statement shows the person has no faith for healing, so they cannot experience a miracle. That's the reason so many Christians and church-goers are sick. They are not taught, or they ignore, God's Promises, and the clear declaration of His will to heal, they dabble with alternative therapies, and are duped by New Age dietary-fads (that Satan dresses up as 'Christian') to distract them from genuine faith in Christ.
Establish this Gospel fact in your heart today. God has abundantly promised physical healing for His children. According to the Holy Bible, salvation includes perfect health for God's glory.
Look at what happened in the Bible when the Gospel was preached:
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. Acts 5:12-16 KJV
Notice, and all of them were healed, that shows God's will today for everyone who is sick. Christ's ministry of healing the sick continued after He went to Heaven. Every one of them being healed was a fulfilment of God's healing covenant.
I am the LORD that healeth thee. Ex. 15:26 KJV
Anyone who trusts in Christ is included in the 'you' of God's healing covenant. all of them were healed was the experience of the whole of Israel.
There was not one feeble person among the tribes. Psalm 105:37 KJV
The same happened when any sick person followed Jesus.
great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all. Mtt. 12:15
If you are following Jesus, He will heal you too. He healed them all is God's Promise to you now. Healing for all was included under the Old Covenant.
I am the LORD that healeth thee. And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. Ex. 15:26 and 23:25 KJV
Therefore, how much more is healing part of the New Covenant, which God tells us is a better covenant, superior to the old one, and founded on better promises. See Heb. 7:22 and 8:6
In the 'better' New Covenant, Jesus personally suffered all your diseases and infirmities in your place.
Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Mtt. 8:17 KJV
Why? So that Satan has no legal right to keep sickness on anyone who follows Christ. The only way Satan can put sickness on a Christian is when they doubt their full salvation and redemption through Jesus' Blood.
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: Mtt. 8:16 KJV
To make it possible for every single believer to be healed;
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal. 3:13 KJV
This curse included every sickness and every disease. Deut. 28:61 'hath redeemed us' includes every believer in Christ. Do you believe in Christ? If you are sick or infirm, continue reading, the Holy Spirit will inspire faith in your heart through Christ's message, and you too will be healed right now.
Believers in Christ share in the blessing He provided at Calvary when;
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: Is. 53:4 KJV
It is possible because...
... by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Pe. 2:24
'Ye' includes every believer. Healing for all was the norm in Christ's ministry. It is what He promised the believing church.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. Jn. 14:12 KJV
All of them were healed is therefore the will of God now, whilst Christ is seated in Heaven, because Christ hasn't changed.
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Heb. 13:8 KJV
All of them were healed would have included you, if you were sick and present on that day in Jerusalem when Peter proclaimed Christ's message. Healing is for you today because God's will has never changed.
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. Acts 5:16 KJV
Freedom from evil spiritual oppression is included in Christ's redemption today. Addictions, sexual sins, suicide, greed, perversions, depression etc. all were defeated by Christ for you.
Notice that in Nazareth, they doubted Christ's message and stunned Him by their unbelief.
And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. Mk. 6:5-6 KJV
Don't be like the unbelieving Nazarenes. Instead, be like the people of Gennesaret who ran around dragging and carrying the sick folks to Christ. Their faith was put into action.
and as many as touched him were made whole. See Mk. 6:53-56
You can touch Jesus today by your faith in His Word of Promise to heal.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; Jn. 15:7 and Mtt. 7:8 KJV
Everyone includes you when you ask believing.
