of His will – not only with regard to salvation, but with regard to healing.
    Jesus healed all who came to Him. No one was turned away. As long as people were willing to be healed, He was willing to heal them. He didn’t heal all who were sick, but rather, He healed all who were willing to be made well. Some who were sick, did not want to be healed, so they were not healed. The will of man is always honored by God, who gives to us according to our desires.
    Some people argue that Jesus was looking for certain individuals whom the Father pointed out to him for healing, while avoiding others whom the Father did not want to heal. They believe that there were many people the Father did not want to heal for one reason or another. To support their assertion, they point to the fact that Jesus said He only did what He saw the Father doing (see Jn. 5:19).
    The problem with this view is that in numerous accounts in the gospels, Jesus visited villages and it was said that He “healed them all.” Rather than looking for certain people to heal while avoiding others, He healed everyone who wanted to be healed – without exception. It seems more likely that what Jesus referred to when He said He only did what He saw the Father doing – is that He was given instructions from the Father on
how
to heal each person, rather than
which
person to heal.
    If there were no exceptions to healing in the life of Jesus, there are no exceptions to healing in the will of the Father. Bill Johnson observed that “Jesus is perfect theology.” Any belief we have about God that we don’t see modeled in the life of Jesus should be carefully considered and probably rejected.
    If the will of God was for us to be sick, then no one disregarded the will of God more than Jesus. Every time He healed someone, He may have cheated them of a lesson they needed to develop their character. You could argue that persecution builds character, because the Bible teaches that Godly character comes by enduring persecution (see 1 Pet. 4:12-19). But you can’t argue from Scripture that sickness builds character. Nowhere is this taught in the Bible.
    It seems more likely that what the Father showed Jesus wasn’t who could or could not be healed, but how they should be healed. While Jesus healed all who came to him – He used a different method nearly every time. It was probably the method and not the individual that the Father showed Him. Later in the book we’ll describe the various methods used in healing and how we can receive instruction from the Father on which method to use and when.
The Will of the Enemy
    We must also consider the will of the enemy with regard to healing. Jesus said the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy (see Jn. 10:10). In calling His enemy a thief, He revealed that Satan’s activities are illegal. The fact that stealing is illegal doesn’t keep people from committing robbery. God allows crime, not because He approves of it, but because He values free will and wants us to exercise our free will partnering with Him in abolishing lawlessness. In the same way, God allows sickness not because He approves of it, but because He values free will and wants our participation in His plan to defeat it. Sickness is now an unauthorized activity carried out by the kingdom of darkness.
    There are criminals who break the law and there are agents authorized to fight illegal activity. In the same way that police fight crime, we are commissioned to fight sickness. Healing is a matter of enforcing God’s will here upon the earth as His representatives.
    Ephesians chapter six teaches that we are involved in a war against the enemy and Psalm 84:11 says that God withholds no good thing from us. Bearing these things in mind, let’s look at a passage that will help clear up the issue of God’s timing and healing:
    And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and
