Jesus
Heals The Paralytic by Harold Copping (1863-1932), Printed biblical
illustration, Published in 1910.
Today,
reply is on why all Israel was not healed through the ministry on
earth of Jesus Christ. Displaying authentic humanity, Jesus was
ordained and sent as a vessel who would become filled with divine
Spirit to prepare the covenant people for an outpouring of spirit
substance from the makeup of GOD in accordance with earlier recorded
prophecies and promises. Many saw him only as a rabbi from the
region North of Judea; and Jesus was opposed by bias, ethnic
arrogance, prejudice, skepticism, and unbelief. It is written: Mark
5: 25-34, King James Version (KJV): 25 And a certain woman, which
had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things
of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing
bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus,
came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said,
If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway
the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her
body that she was healed of that plague. 30 And Jesus, immediately
knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about
in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And his disciples
said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest
thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that
had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing
what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all
the truth. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made
thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. A writer in the

Jesus
cured several people of their ailments. Why didn't he cure everyone
in Israel who was sick?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: If my people, which are called by my name, shall
humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their
wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their
sin, and will heal their land. (2nd Chronicles 7: 14,
KJV)

“Kate
Gosselin”, the appearance of divinity using flesh and human form as
Jesus Christ (the Incarnation) was not for the purpose of healing
mankind of sickness and treating their wounds so much as to introduce
a new covenant relationship between the Creator and the Creation. To
understand why Jesus did not heal everyone all over the world when he
appeared on the earth, or at least all of the Jews who were in
covenant with GOD through sacred law and inherited traditions from
the covenant of Moses, many Christians focus on mankind’s
spiritual awareness and needs that first must be in place before the
operations of Christ as an anointed spokesperson from GOD may go
forward in the lives of others. Along with desire to be healed,
there also must be a longing for faith, for sacred knowledge
rather than secular knowledge, for the active presence
of divinity, and for the inseparable divine substance imparted from
the makeup of GOD. Included in the virtue that flowed from Jesus
Christ were forbearance, gratitude, holiness, humility, oneness
without sameness, personhood, wisdom, and wrath against sin. The
ministries of Christ were opposed by Satan as well as the by
Pharisees and others who thought they were defending the true
covenant. Consider again the following that uses language from the
Bible, and a presentation from the music ministry of MercyMe:
(1.)
Matthew 4: 23-25 King James Version (KJV): 23 And Jesus went about
all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of
disease among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria:
and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with
divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with
devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy;
and he healed them. 25 And there followed him great multitudes of
people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from
Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
(2.)
Mark 2: 1-12, KJV: 1 And again he entered into Capernaum after
some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2 And
straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no
room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and
he preached the word unto them. 3 And they come unto him, bringing
one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4 And when they
could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof
where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let
down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 5 When Jesus saw
their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be
forgiven thee. 6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there,
and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak
blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And immediately
when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within
themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your
hearts? 9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy
sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and
walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on
earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11 I say
unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine
house. 12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth
before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified
God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
(3.)
Matthew 13: 54-58, KJV: 54 And when he was come into his own
country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were
astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and
these mighty works? 55 Is not this the carpenter’s
son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and
Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all
with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? 57 And
they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not
without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. 58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, (4.)

Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
