Chapter 1: The Cry of the Leper and the Heart of God
In Luke 5:12, a man full of leprosy approaches Jesus with a desperate plea: “Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.” This man’s condition was more than a physical affliction; it was a social and spiritual death sentence. Yet, his faith was alive. He believed Jesus had the power to heal him but questioned His willingness. How many today share this doubt? They acknowledge God’s power yet question His heart. Jesus’ response to this man was clear and immediate: “I will: be thou clean.” Not only did He touch the untouchable, but He also demonstrated that God’s will is to heal and restore. This encounter teaches us that God’s will is not mysterious or capricious but rooted in His unchanging nature of love and mercy. Just as Jesus reached out to the leper, He reaches out to you today. The good news is that God’s will for your healing and salvation has not changed. The same Jesus who healed the leper is ready to meet your need now.
Chapter 2: Dispelling the Doubts About God’s Will
Many believers wrestle with the question, “Is it God’s will to heal me?” They pray, “Lord, if it be Thy will,” and wait for results to confirm God’s intentions. But friends, we don’t determine God’s will by outcomes; we discover it in His Word. Jesus never told anyone seeking healing, “I won’t.” Instead, He consistently revealed God’s will by saying, “I will.” If healing were only for a select few, Scripture would have recorded instances of Jesus refusing to heal—but there are none. The Bible declares that God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). What He did for one, He will do for all. Believing otherwise undermines the consistency of God’s character. Romans 12:2 calls us to renew our minds so that we can discern the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. This renewal comes through the Word, which repeatedly affirms that healing, restoration, and life are God’s will for His children. Let us stand firm on this truth: the same Jesus who healed the leper says to you today, “I will.”
Chapter 3: Understanding the Will of God
To understand God’s will, we must first reject the flawed idea that everything happening in life is His will. The Bible makes it clear: not all actions align with God’s desires. First Thessalonians 4:3 tells us that God’s will is our sanctification, yet sin persists in the world. Similarly, while 1 Thessalonians 5:18 calls us to give thanks in all things, we know that many fail to do so. Does this mean God’s will is inconsistent? No, it means we must align our choices with His revealed will. Ephesians 5:17 commands us to understand what the will of the Lord is. Where do we find this understanding? In His Word. The life and ministry of Jesus provide the clearest revelation of God’s will. Jesus healed, forgave, and restored—all direct reflections of the Father’s heart. If you want to know God’s will for your life, look to Jesus. His actions were not isolated incidents; they were eternal declarations of God’s purpose for humanity.
Chapter 4: Renewing the Mind to Prove His Will
Romans 12:2 reminds us that discerning God’s will requires transformation. Our minds must be renewed, reprogrammed by His Word. Too often, believers accept sickness or hardship as God’s mysterious plan, yet fail to seek His promises in Scripture. This passive approach is not faith; it is spiritual laziness. The Word of God calls us to test and prove His will in every situation. Jesus Himself said, “If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father.” Every miracle, every act of compassion, was a revelation of God’s will. When Jesus healed the leper, He wasn’t just addressing one man’s need—He was declaring God’s eternal purpose for humanity: healing, restoration, and life. This same truth applies to you. Renew your mind with the Word. Let it erase every doubt and replace it with the unwavering conviction that God’s will is good, acceptable, and perfect.
Chapter 5: Living in the Assurance of His Will
The story of the leper in Luke 5 is not just history; it is a timeless testament to God’s will for all who believe. Jesus’ declaration, “I will,” echoes across the ages, affirming that His will has not changed. Yet, millions live uncertain, praying prayers that lack the boldness of faith. Friends, this should not be! The Bible is clear: God desires your healing, salvation, and wholeness. But to walk in His will, you must first believe it. Ephesians 5:17 urges us not to be unwise but to grasp firmly the will of the Lord. This understanding comes from His Word, the final authority for faith and practice. Don’t let tradition or human reasoning rob you of God’s promises. Stand on His Word, which declares His will for your life: forgiveness for your sins, healing for your body, and peace for your soul. Just as Jesus reached out to the leper, He reaches out to you today with the same assurance: “I will.” Believe it. Receive it. Live in the fullness of God’s will for your life.
