God Our Father - Part 2 (God Our Compassionate Healer)
Praise God!! We had wonderful healing services this last Sunday! We have already had several testimonies of healings and in addition we had someone baptized in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking with other tongues!
God is so good and gracious He is full of compassion and tender mercies. His hand is stretched out to you in full provision through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. One of our main passages of Scripture for this series of teachings is John 14:9 where we have recorded Jesus words "He who has seen Me has seen the Father." Jesus is the perfect the infallible image of God to all of His creation. Colossians 1:15 in the amplified translation says it this way, "[Now] He is the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible] He is the firstborn of all creation." Everything that Jesus did and said is a perfect expression of God! This tells me that we can know exactly what the Father is like by looking at and listening to the Son.
So, for part 2 in our series "God Our Father" we looked at Jesus and discovered that God is our compassionate healer. In this blog I am going to give you a lot of Scripture references and I want to encourage you to look at each passage and meditate and study for yourself concerning the nature of God so that this truth will be rooted deeply in your mind concerning Gods nature.
1) God is full of compassion and tender mercies.
When we say that God is full of compassion what we mean is that deep in His inner most being He is moved toward us with the yearning of His nature, love. This manifests in tender mercies. Tender mercies give us the picture of being warm and affection, being gentle, compassionate and kind.
Here are some of the Scriptures that prove this to us. As you read these passages see God relating to you this way.
Scripture: Psalms 86:15 - But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.
Scripture: Psalms 111:4 - He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
Scripture: Psalms 112:4 - Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Scripture: Psalms 145:8 - The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy.
Scripture: Psalms 25:6,7 – Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your loving kindnesses, For they are from Old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness sake, O Lord.
Ps 25:6-7 Overlook my youthful sins, O Lord! Look at me instead through eyes of mercy and forgiveness, through eyes of everlasting love and kindness. TLB

Wow! You can see so clearly who He is and His heart toward all of us! Now that you have read these verses go back over them again before you read into the next point.
This compassionate nature of God translates into healing for people and there is no better place to see this than in the ministry of Jesus. As you are reading through these passages of Scripture, imagine yourself on the receiving end of Jesus ministry. Allow faith to rise for your own healing!
2) God Our Compassionate Healer.
Healing multitudes.
Scripture: Matt 4:23 And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people. 24 So the report of Him spread throughout all Syria, and they brought Him all who were sick, those afflicted with various diseases and torments, those under the power of demons, and epileptics, and paralyzed people, and He healed them. 25 And great crowds joined and accompanied Him about, coming from Galilee and Decapolis [the district of the ten cities east of the Sea of Galilee] and Jerusalem and Judea and from the other [the east] side of the Jordan. AMP
God has revealed Himself as a healer of all sicknesses and diseases.
Individual cases of healing.
Leper Healed
Scripture: Matt 8:1 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. 2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." 3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. NKJV
Centurions Servant
Scripture: Matt 8:5 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6 saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented." 7 And Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him." 8 The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." 10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour. NKJV
Peter’s Mother In Law
Scripture: Matt 8:14 Now when Jesus had come into Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother lying sick with a fever. 15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them. NKJV
The Woman With The Issue Of Blood
Scripture: Matt 9:20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well." 22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, "Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour. NKJV
Jairus Daughter
Scripture: Matt 9:23 When Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, 24 He said to them, "Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping." And they ridiculed Him. 25 But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. NKJV
The Two Blind Men
Scripture: Matt 9:27 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, "Son of David, have mercy on us!" 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord." 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be to you." 30 And their eyes were opened. NKJV
The Mute
Scripture: Matt 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed. 33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, "It was never seen like this in Israel!" NKJV
Conclusion: From these passages we see that Jesus healed old men, young boys, old women, young girls, Jews, Gentiles, incurable lepers, paralytic cases, fevers, poor people, rich people, those living, those dead, military men, housewives, those who had been to doctors and those who had not, the demon-possessed, He healed one at a time, more than one at a time, and multitudes at a time. So we see from the life and ministry of Jesus that God is a compassionate Father who desires all to be whole.
As you are coming to the end of this blog I want to declare over you, You are healed by the compassion and tender mercies of God in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!! Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the Knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
