Let us look at another healing minister who understood healing is included in salvation. E. W. Kenyon (1867-1948)

In his book, Jesus the Healer, E. W. Kenyon writes:

For many years I have been bothered because I could not understand why people, who had received their healing and had all the evidences of perfect deliverance, should have the diseases return. I believe I have made the discovery:

Their faith was not in the word of God, but in “sense evidence.” What do I mean by sense evidence? I mean the evidence of their sight, hearing, and feeling.

They were like some of the sick people who came to the Master. They had heard that He had healed some of their friends. They said: “If I can get to Him, I will be healed.” As they drew near, they saw others healed. The blind could see; the deaf could hear. They cried out for their share of the blessing and were healed.

There are many who come to us for healing because the Father has been gracious in healing many others through our ministry.

Many have no time to be taught the word. They have no interest in the Bible. They have no desire for the word. All they want is healing — deliverance for themselves. We pray for them, and they are healed. In a little while they return and say, “I cannot understand it. That healing did not last. All the symptoms are back again.”

What is the diffi culty?

It lies in this: They had no faith in the word of God. They knew nothing about the word, as far as healing was concerned. Their faith was in me, or in some other person, not in God’s word. The bible declares: By His stripes, I am healed.

Take this as an illustration: A man came to me with a very bad knee. The doctors had told him that an amputation was necessary. He was instantly healed when prayer was made. Five or six days later, while walking on the street, the old pain returned. He said: “This cannot be. I am healed by His stripes. In Jesus’ name, pain, leave my knee.”

That man stood on the word of God and the pain left, never to.

Others accept their sense evidence — what they can see, feel, or hear. They lose their healing because there is no “depth of soil” - as Jesus put it in the Parable of the Sower.

Our fight is a faith fight. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Eph. 6:12 but we are more than conquerors through Christ our Lord. Romans 8:37
