Build according to PATTERN (Numbers 21:7-9).
Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (1 Cor 10;11) or ‘types.’
Who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” (Heb 5;8).
All things were given for our admonition
In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works; in doctrine, showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity (Titus 2;7). There is a pattern of healing in the bible from Moses to Paul, divine healing and divine health being available in the old covenant under the law and being made available to the saints today under grace. Under the ministry of Jesus it was commanded and under the ministry of the apostles it was practiced.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. (Matthew 10;8) And these signs will follow those who [a]believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Matthew 16;17-18)
If salvation is for all healing is for all.
If we can pray the prayer of salvation we can pray the prayer of faith over sick folks.
If sick folks can be saved because of Christs redemption, they can be healed because of Christs redemption.
Should we therefore not raise our game or to put it more correctly should we no raise our faith to preach healing as much as we preach salvation for that is what salvation is healing of the body, soul and spirit it is healing of the total man. If everyone who looks upon a snake upon a pole can be healed then everyone who looks upon Christ on the cross can be saved. if a look at the snake on a pole under the old covenant HEALED a soul then a look at Christ under the new covenant can heal a soul today. for surely the promises under Christ are far great than the promises under Moses.
