Why Should God Heal You?

In response to the many queries on this subject today on Shoutlife, I wrote this to a few of my friends today at Armchair Theology and thought it might help you to:

For me, it (believing that God's will is for you to be healed) doesn't come out of presumption but relationship. It's come out of getting to know Him intimately. So intimately, in fact, that I've grown to trust Him more and more as time goes by. I've come to trust Him regarding healing and remember that HE HIMSELF said to put Him in remembrance of what He has said.
Has God forgotten?
No. It's for OUR benefit that we remind Him of what He said. As we speak His Word, it feeds our inner image that yes, God is Jehovah Rapha, the God Who Heals, our Physician. It feeds our inner image that, yes, with that brutal punishment on Jesus back, I AM healed! Amen and Amen.
And we are back:
"...As a man thinks, so is he."
We sometimes think we are offending God by not speaking freely with Him. It's offensive to me when my children think they can't be free to tell me anything. God's a big boy. He can take it.
You are not asking anything of Him that He hasn't already said Yes to. It's not arrogant to ask for it and decide it's true just like it's not arrogant when my children tell me: "Mommie, we ARE going to go see Horton Hears a Who on Monday, right? That's what you said..." I remind them: "Yes, that's what mommy said so we will go."
It's that simple AND YET so profound.
What's the difference? Surely God loves us better than we can love our children, and if it's my own power to heal my child, I would do it. But alas, I cannot.
BUT GOD...
Uses me as a vessel to move through, and for that, I am grateful. He not only can do it, He does do it because He said so.
Jesus took a beating and I'm not going to waste the opportunity to receive what He got beat up for. He paid the penalty. Out of humility, I receive it as a done deal.
Humility gives gratitude and gratitude opens the doors to provisions, including the provision of healing.
God thought of everything, even providing the way for me to be well. It's free, like salvation. There is no difference. Free is free. Paid for is paid for.
I will not struggle denying it, though at times I struggle receiving because the price, sometimes I feel, was to great to pay for me. But then God reminds me He's the One Who choose me, so who am I to tell Him the penalty was to great. Then I must believe and receive, because He has done it.
Back to gratitude.
