In Most Cases, It Is God’s Will To Heal In Answer To Prayer, Part 2 (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #176) - Ministry Videos

Our prayer motivator verse from the Word of God today is Psalm 5:2 which reads: “Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.”

Our prayer motivator quote today is from Andrew Murray. He said: “Some people pray just to pray and some people pray to know God.”

Our prayer motivator devotional today is part 2 of our series titled “IN MOST CASES, IT IS GOD’S WILL TO HEAL IN ANSWER TO PRAYER” from Dr. John R. Rice. Dr. Rice said…

Yes, thank God, it is usually God’s will to heal His own, so He invites us to pray. “Is any afflicted? let him pray.” And we are to call the elders of the church to pray, also, as God leads. And individuals are to “confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that ye may be healed.” Not every sinner we pray for is saved, not every sick person we pray for gets well, but nevertheless, prayer gets many lost sinners saved, and no doubt many a sick person is healed in answer to prayer who would otherwise die or remain an invalid. So the first duty about sickness is to pray about it.

In my own experience, after I prayed about the sick, I have sometimes felt clearly that God had some good reason for keeping the person sick, and I could not have faith for his or her healing. In a few cases I felt God would not heal because His blessing was prevented by some sin. God must not appear to endorse sin or ignore it.
