God’s Revealed Will
When we read Mark 1:40–45, we cannot question whether healing is God’s will.
Some insist that we must always preface our prayer for healing with, “If it is Your will.” How can one have positive faith when one begins a request with an “if”? We do not pray for salvation with an “if.” “If it is Your will” is more often an expression of fear—a proviso to “excuse God of blame” if our faith or His sovereign purposes do not bring healing. If His will is questioned, leave the issue to His sovereignty and remove it from your prayer.
At the same time, one cannot intentionally be living in violation of God’s will and expect His promises will be fulfilled. Where biblical conditions for participation in God’s processes are present, they must be met; but let us not avoid either God’s readiness or God’s remedies by reason of the question of His willingness. Amen Read Isaiah 58:8; Exodus 23:25; Deuteronomy 7:15; James 5:14, 15.
