compulsive healing.
I have healed some people out of a guilty conscience – thinking it was wrong to ignore anyone who needed healing. Please don’t misunderstand me; healing is a good thing. Jesus told us to do it and everyone I’ve seen healed was grateful that I took the time to pray with them. But every good thing, if wrongly prioritized, can become an idol. It may even be bad for your mental health.
There is an explosion of healing taking place today in the body of Christ. Training is readily available for free. There are hundreds of YouTube videos available to teach you about healing. Many people will offer to train and lead you on the path to a successful healing ministry. You may be invited to join groups for study and practice. You’ll make new friends in the healing community. You’ll hear amazing testimonies about the power of God. But you’ll also see great division over how healing is supposed to be done. And you’ll eventually find those who will place enormous pressure on you to heal people every waking hour and accuse you of being lazy and disobedient if you don’t. Their Jesus has a yoke that’s hard and a burden that’s heavy.
Anyone can heal the sick because they want to see the power of God at work. Brush aside the rhetoric and all you have is sorcery. Anyone can heal from a compulsion to obey the commands of Jesus; this person is no more than a legalist trying to be justified by his works. Anyone can heal so that they can tell their friends how God is using them. Such a man will be destroyed by his own pride.
Be cautious in developing relationships in the healing community and seek God’s wisdom at all times. Don’t be swayed by clever arguments or impressive testimonies from those who may recruit you to their group. Examine the fruit of their lives. Don’t be taken by those who would place a yoke of bondage on you.
Go out and heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons and preach the kingdom. But do it for only one reason. Your motive should be an overwhelming love and compassion for those in need. There is no other legitimate motive for healing.

Faith for Healing
H EALING IS SOMETHING WE DO by faith. In contrast to traditional medicine, which is a function of what you know and how skilled you are, divine healing is a result of who you know and what you believe. Simply put, if you know Jesus and you believe He is still healing people today, He will heal the sick through you. Once your relationship with Him is established through the operation of the Holy Spirit, growing your faith in God’s ability and desire to heal is the next step.
How do we develop the kind of faith that heals? Let’s look at some of the reasons why people are not healed when we pray. The disciples of Jesus were not able to heal the boy with epilepsy and when they failed, they asked Jesus why:
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 suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. So I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him. ”
Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.” And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”
So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there, ’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”
MT. 17:14-20
We will discuss the connection between sickness and demons in the chapter on deliverance. In this chapter we will focus only on faith.
Jesus said the disciples could not heal the boy because they lacked faith. It appears as though
