God's Will Is to Heal — What Scripture Actually Reveals
By Pastor Kevin Cicchino
When people ask if it is God's will to heal, they are usually trying to reconcile two things:
What Scripture says
What they have experienced
But truth is not built from experience. Truth defines how we understand experience.
Start With the Nature of God
Before looking at outcomes, we have to understand who God is.
Malachi 3:6 — "I am the Lord, I do not change." Acts 10:34 — "God shows no partiality."
God is not shifting. He is not selective. He is not developing new responses. What He reveals about Himself is consistent.
Throughout Scripture, God is revealed as life-giving, restoring, and healing.
Exodus 15:26 — "I am the Lord who heals you." Psalm 103:3 — "Who heals all your diseases." Isaiah 53:5 — "By His stripes you are healed."
This is not occasional behavior. This is His nature being revealed.
Jesus: The Exact Expression of God
If we want clarity, we don't interpret God through situations — we look at Jesus.
Hebrews 1:3 — "He is the exact representation of His nature."
Jesus did not come to introduce a new version of God. He revealed what had always been true.
But He did not operate independently.
John 5:19 — "The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father doing."
This means:
His actions were Spirit-led
His ministry was precise, not random
He revealed both the will of God and how it functions
Throughout the Gospels, we consistently see:
He was moved with compassion
He responded to faith
He discerned by the Spirit
He acted with authority
Matthew 8:3 — "I will — be clean." Matthew 4:23 — "He healed all kinds of sickness and disease." Acts 10:38 — "He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed."
Jesus is not selective — He is revealing.
He shows us the heart of God, the nature of the Kingdom, and how truth is received and responded to.
Understanding the Tension People Feel
Here is where many struggle:
If God heals — why doesn't everyone experience it?
This question does not change truth — but it does reveal something important.
God's nature is not inconsistent. But human understanding, receptivity, and alignment often are.
Scripture shows that the Kingdom of God functions through:
Faith
Receptivity
Understanding
Response to truth
This is not a limitation on God. This is how the relationship with Him operates.
The Real Shift
The question is not: "Why didn't this happen?"
The question is: "What has God revealed — and how do I learn to live in alignment with it?"
Because Scripture consistently points to this:
God is life
God restores
God heals
Final Thought
God is not withholding healing. He has revealed Himself as the source of life. Through Christ, that life has been made available.
The journey is not convincing God to act — it is learning to understand, receive, and walk in what He has already made known.
