Isaiah 53:5 says Jesus was wounded for our sin, bruised for our iniquity and with His stripes we are healed. Matthew 8:16-17 says Jesus healed all that were sick to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah. So healing is to fulfil Bible prophecy! I talk about Bible prophecy, I write about it in Prophetic Vision magazine, but part of Bible prophecy is healing the sick. I believe Bible prophecy. Some people say that healing was only for the time of Jesus. But this prophecy is not ended. Jesus only healed for three years. There are more miracles of healing today than at any time in the history of the church – all over the world. Today in Russia this is how we are showing the glory of God, live on TV – seeing big miracles, every time I preach the Gospel!
Talking of the last days in Matthew 24:14 Jesus says: ‘This Gospel shall be preached in all the world for a witness to the nations, and then shall the end come.’ Jesus did not say there will be a worldwide revival. He said the preaching of the Gospel will be a witness to all nations, a demonstration to the whole world. My responsibility before God is not only to preach the Gospel, but to demonstrate the power of our God with authority. We have power in the Holy Ghost and we have authority in the Name of Jesus. I didn’t go to a healing evangelist, I went to the Word of God and God completely healed me – no operation, no treatment – I only had God and the Bible, and that’s all I needed to confound the doctors. They were shocked, they didn’t believe God. But I do, I believe in a God of power, of miracles.
The Prophetic Link Between Divine Healing and Bible Prophecy
Is Healing Part of Bible Prophecy?
Yes, divine healing is a central component of biblical prophecy. In Isaiah 53:5, the prophet declares that the Messiah "was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities... and by His stripes we are healed."
This prophetic promise is directly linked to physical healing in the New Testament. Matthew 8:16-17 explicitly states that when Jesus healed all who were sick, it was "to fulfill what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet." Therefore, every miracle of healing is a direct fulfillment of end-times biblical prophecy.
Is Divine Healing Only for the Time of Jesus?
A common theological misconception is that the gift of healing was temporary, limited only to the three years of Jesus’ earthly ministry or the apostolic age. However, biblical prophecy concerning the gospel is ongoing.
Today, there are more documented miracles of healing globally than at any other time in church history. For instance, during modern Gospel campaigns – such as our live televised broadcasts in Russia – the glory of God is actively demonstrated through major, undeniable miracles every time the Gospel is preached.
Demonstrating the Gospel in the Last Days
Matthew 24:14 and the Worldwide Witness
In Matthew 24:14, Jesus outlines the primary sign of the last days:
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."
Notably, Jesus does not promise a vague worldwide revival; rather, He mandates a global witness – a powerful, tangible demonstration of the Gospel to the nations. The responsibility of the modern church and evangelists is not merely to speak the Word, but to demonstrate the power of God with authority through the Holy Spirit and the Name of Jesus.
Personal Testimony: Healed by the Word of God
The power of God's Word is sufficient for complete physical restoration without medical intervention. As documented in Prophetic Vision magazine, my personal testimony stands as proof: after turning entirely to the Bible and the promises of God, I was completely healed of a condition that doctors claimed required surgery. This supernatural healing confounded medical professionals and serves as a living testament to a God of active miracles.
