"But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings;
and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall" (Malachi 4:2).
In today's passage, "the sun of righteousness" refers to the Messiah our Lord. When God's children have diseases, if they repent of their sin in the name of the Lord and pray to God, God will heal the diseases with healing beam. The healing beam is invisible light that can heal any kind of disease for any person regardless of age and health condition. Moreover, it brings no negative side-effects. But as written, God gives His healing light to those who fear Him.
1. Those who fear God
Proverbs 8:13 reads, "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverted mouth, I hate." Those who truly fear God will naturally hate evil. If you love someone, you will not do something that the one you love hates and you will try to give the person joy and peace. The same applies to your relationship with God.
The God of love sacrificed His only begotten Son. He made His Son an atoning sacrifice and thereby opened the way to save sinners. If you feel this great love of God, you cannot help fearing God. You cannot do something that God hates. You will even cast away sin and evil that God hates.
But many people say they love God and fear Him, but they do not hate evil. They may think that they hate evil, but they still harbor evil, look at what is evil, and show evil in words and actions. It means they do not really hate evil from the depths of their hearts. And, to that extent, they cannot say they love God and fear Him.
2. To receive complete answers
1) You should destroy the wall of sin against God.
God wants to give answers to whatever His children ask for, and to accomplish this, He gives them the word of the Bible. If we obey the words, our souls will prosper, everything will go well with us, and we will be healthy and prosperous in everything. Thus, if you have a problem that you ask God to solve, you should obey His words more earnestly.
Let's suppose you were drawn into a financial difficulty by falling to temptation through someone else. Then, you should not hate the person. You should rather hate your greed for money, your selfish motives and your desire to have what did not belong to you. You must realize that you had been deceived due to such attributes in your heart and that those things were the causes of being tempted. You also should give thanks because you found such evil elements in you. As long as you keep those evils in you, you cannot but fall into temptation someday again. So, to get rid of the evils, which are the fundamental causes, is the surest and wisest solution (James 1:14-15).
Exodus 15:26 reads, "And He said, 'If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer.'" As said, anyone can be protected by God and be disease-free only if they live by the Word of God.
In other words, if you were not protected by Him, you should realize that you had done something against His will (Isaiah 59:2). Therefore, to receive complete answers, the most important thing is to destroy the wall of sin that is standing between God and us. Furthermore, if we pile up deeds of faith and goodness that can please God, we can receive the answer more quickly.
God wants to give us the best things possible. As soon as we meet the measure that He set according to our own measure of faith, He gives answers to us. That is why new believers tend to receive answers quickly. God wants something more from those who have already experienced God's grace and have been believers for a long time. He wants them to have more goodness and show greater faith than before. It shows that God deems it most important for His children to live by the word of God and grow in their faith.
Therefore, if you want to receive an answer to your problem, you should see the problem by God's point of view. You shouldn't just want the immediate solution. But you have to think about how to resolve its fundamental cause. Then, you won't get nervous or become impatient while waiting for the answer. Rather you will feel thankful because you know that the time period is a time of blessing for you to change yourself into spirit.
2) You must not repeat building the wall of sin after you destroy it.
Some people are too impatient to get their answer. They habitually do the things that they have to do to receive answers, and ask why they are not receiving the answers. They offer up vowed-prayer in their own way, not following the way of God. And in the middle, they may get disappointed and disheartened. They may even complain and become resentful. It creates the higher wall of sin between them and God, so the answer gets farther away from them.
Then, they may repent and pray again. But if this cycle is repeated, they cannot receive the complete answer. Let's put this situation in this way. You had 10cm wall of sin against God. You prayed, fasted, and repented and thereby destroyed 5cm of it. The other 5cm is still remaining. It is not yet the time you can receive the complete answer, but you expect the answer to come. Because the answer you expected is not coming, you grumble without giving thanks and say, 'Why can't I receive an answer?' By doing so, you build the wall of sin higher again.
People usually remember very well what they have tried, but do not seem to remember what they have done wrong or errors in their words. So, they think the answer is coming late and what they are doing is not really working although they have been trying hard for a long time. We have to understand the most important things are the changes in our spiritual lives. We have to believe and trust in our faithful God without changing our mind along the way. Only when we think on every word of God in goodness and learn to be patient can we then receive complete answers more quickly. It is His justice by which when our souls prosper, everything goes well with us and we can be healthy. Thus, to the extent that we cultivate our heart into spirit, we will receive God's blessing more.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, God is faithful and does everything in justice and love. If you really fear Him, you need to remove everything that blocks you from God and must not repeat it. That is, you should hate and get rid of evil and replace it with goodness. When you show your love by doing so, God will give answer to whatever you ask.
I pray in the name of the Lord that by loving and fearing God you will receive complete answer and blessing and be healthy.
