  What is God's perfect will

 

Very often , when the term healing is used, the first thing we think of is physical healing. God's will for healing goes beyond the physical body. Within the atonement, healing was provided for the entire man; spiritually, socially, financially, emotionally, soul (mind and (thinking), and body.

James 1:4 expresses that the believer can be "perfect and entire, wanting nothing".

The word entire is taken from the Greek word "holokleros" meaning complete in every part, i.e., perfectly sound (in body), entire, whole. This comes with the idea of being whole, having all its parts sound, perfect. That which retains everything which was allotted at the first, wanting nothing for its completeness, bodily, mental and moral entireness. It expresses the completeness of man before the fall. It is God's desire that man be a complete being in all areas of his life.

  • First of all God desires that a man be Spiritually well.
    Romans 6:4
    Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

    The believer has been changed from death unto life. Therefore we believers should be walking in newness of life. The word newness comes from the Greek word "kainotes" which means renewal, but not simply an experience but a qualitative change. This relates to another Greek word "reinos" which means new, but qualitatively different. It comes with the idea of the act of renewing; to dedicate, consecrate into a qualitative new use.

    According to Romans 1:16,the Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto salvation. It is the gospel of Christ that restores us to spiritual wholeness.The word salvation here comes from the Greek word "soteria" which means to rescue or safety (physical or moral) deliver, health, salvation, save. This term is from the Greek word "sozo" which means to save. It comes with the idea to save (receive salvation) in regard to:

    1. Material and temporal deliverance from danger, suffering and so forth.

    2. The spiritual and eternal salvation granted immediately by God to those who believe in Christ.

    3. The present experience of God's power to deliver from the bondage of sin. It is through the power of the gospel of Christ that we have been made spiritually whole. We have been reconciled to God (Rom.5:10).



  • Secondly God desires that a man be Physically well.

    It is for this reason that he bore all the sicknesses and curses of man on the cross.
    He became sick and he became a curse so that we may live a sickness free and a curse free life forever.
    This is something which every believer should understand very very clearly.
    God never desires that man should live under the power of sickness and curse


  • Thirdly God desires that a man be Materially well.

    Material means his financial situation, family situation, official situation etc.
    It is important to understand that God is concerned about the believer’s financial situation. God's plan is that man should never live in debt or lack or want all the days of his life.
    God’s plan is that man should always be well.
    In Deut. 4:40 he very clearly describes his will – “that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever”.

    The only problem here is that though God has the above desires concerning us these desires of God are not fulfilled in our lives automatically.
    We have to understand God’s way and implement it for the desire of God to manifest in our lives.
