How did Jesus heal?

Jammu Malachi wrote: To suggest that truth and righteousness can only be known through written materials, is to say that truth and righteousness are NOT innately fashioned to our being. God created us all, and has extended those qualities to us all which are forthcoming through birth. Any written law of God is only to remind us of his law, lest we forget. They are not, however, meant to be addressed as a dictate or rule! Now, make up your mind. Either you were given the freedom of choice by God, or you were not! God is the Holy spirit. There is none other!

How did Jesus heal?

When reading the New Testament we understand that Jesus and the disciples talked about the Ten Commandments throughout. It was their main discussion. The disciples wanted to know whose sin  caused a person to be born blind. Jesus would heal and say "go and sin no more." Jesus and the disciples did not sin. They healed the sick by investigating to find the sin, bring repentance and forgiveness from the sin- then heal. 

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates...............................................................
So, what is Jesus' formula to healing? It's so very simple!  Jesus' life was our guidebook. He said "the Son of man has no where to lay his head..." He didn't put stock in money or temporary things. He said His Father would provide all we need...clothes, food, and we are not to worry or be obsessed with material objects for money. Actually, to worry about money, to put it on a pedestal, is very much against the teachings of Christ... "Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?" The love of money is the root of all evil and only through Christ can we stop sinning against our neighbors by talking about money's power and greatness with each other. Instead, our conversation should be about the the Ten Commandments. People might get healed, but if anyone sins after that- the illness can come back or something worse might happen! Why? Because we didn't obey Jesus' command after he healed people and that was "go and sin no more..." So, if you got healed and then began again to sin is disobeying the first Commandment to Love God above all and everyone else, the sickness or disease will most likely reappear for it was the sin that caused the sickness in the first place. If you love your neighbor as yourself you will not lie to them, or steal from them etc. You'll tell them to obey God by obeying the Ten Commandments all the time!

Money is a strong Delusion! Money deceives everyone to think if they have it they are safe! It is a deception.
2 Thessalonians 2
The Man of Lawlessness

1 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.

 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful DELUSION so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

Humble yourselves before God, turn away from sin and those who sin. Turn away from the love of money  and the hold it has on you that causes all men to sin for it is a false God, an idol men worship and obey rather than The Gospel of repentance from sin. Trust not in earthly possessions for God owns everything and in a microsecond God can take everything away from anyone and give to those who love and cherish God and his Ten Commandments

Commentary Matthew Henry 1662-1714
Psalms 50:7-15 To obey is better than sacrifice, and to love God and our neighbor better than all burnt-offerings. We are here warned not to rest in these performances. And let us beware of resting in any form. God demands the heart, and how can human inventions please him, when repentance, faith, and holiness are neglected? In the day of distress we must apply to the Lord by fervent prayer. Our troubles, though we see them coming from God's hand, must drive us to him, not drive us from him. We must acknowledge him in all our ways, depend upon his wisdom, power, and goodness, and refer ourselves wholly to him, and so give him glory. Thus must we keep up communion with God; meeting him with prayers under trials, and with praises in deliverances. A believing supplicant shall not only be graciously answered as to his petition, and so have cause for praising God, but shall also have grace to praise him.

Jeremiah 32:17'Ah Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for You, 18 who shows loving kindness to thousands, but repays the iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their children after them, O great and mighty 

God.
