Some people (Bible believing Christians) say that healing is not for today, that healing and miracles stopped with the apostles. I've also heard it said that God heals us through doctors. While I may agree that God can use any means, even drs. to heal us...Show me in the Bible where it says that. My authority on everything is the Bible...the written word of God. If we cannot trust God's word on healing, how can we trust him with our salvation? How do we pick and choose what scriptures are true and which ones are not?
When Jesus was on Earth he went about healing everyone who came to him...He did not say Go to a Dr. and if he can't help you come back and I'll see what I can do.
A leper came to Jesus asking for healing: Matthew 8:2-3 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Notice Jesus did not advise him to Seek the advice of a Dr.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever. If Jesus were here today, would he not heal you if you came to him? Ask and you shall receive.
Mark 11:24 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."
John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
Proverbs 23:7...as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.
We can trust in man, or we can trust in God. God is not the author of sickness...Satan is...and Satan is a liar. Don't agree with Satan when he tries to tell you you're sick. Tell him to get behind you. Affirm what God's word says. You defeat Satan by faith in God's word and prayer. Believing what God's written word says and speaking it in faith. Either we believe what God's word says or we don't. God doesn't change, and he does not lie; he cannot lie. If he says it he will do it. Numbers 23:19 God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Psalm 103:2-5 “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
Matthew 4:23-24 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."
1 John 5:14 “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us.”
John 14:12-13 Jesus said himself “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do greater works than these shall he do.
James 5:14 & 15 “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.”
James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Exodus 23:25 "Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you.
Jeremiah 30:17 "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the Lord."
