Kingdom healing is a profound invitation to experience God’s original intent for our lives—a restoration to wholeness in body, mind, and spirit. Healing is not just a physical phenomenon but a divine encounter with the love of Jesus, who demonstrated the fullness of the kingdom by healing every kind of sickness and affliction.
The journey of healing is often mysterious; sometimes it is instantaneous, sometimes it unfolds over time, and sometimes it seems absent altogether. Yet, in every case, it is an invitation to deeper trust, to hold the tension between the promises of God and the reality of our lived experience.
We honor the many avenues through which God brings healing, including the dedication of medical professionals and the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit. The authority to heal, given by Jesus to his disciples, is still active today. We are called to step out in faith, to pray for others, and to expect God’s presence to bring transformation. Healing is not a formula; it is a partnership with the Holy Spirit, who moves in ways that often defy our understanding. The mystery of unanswered prayers or delayed healing can be deeply painful. It can feel like a broken contract, leading to disappointment or even a sense of abandonment. Yet, we are reminded not to let our experience define our theology.
God’s promises remain true, even when we do not see immediate results. Psalm 103 assures us that God forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases, and we are invited to hold onto this truth while also embracing the mystery. It is crucial to approach healing with both faith and compassion. The promises of God are not weapons to wield against those who are suffering, but invitations to hope and perseverance. We must balance the mystery of the “not yet” with the certainty of God’s love and power. Ultimately, healing is about encountering Jesus, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Whether we are healed instantly, gradually, or are still waiting, we are called to press into God’s presence, to honour the journey, and to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
