Dear friend,
As you
are trusting the Lord for healing today, it is so important for you to
know that God wants you healed and well. My Bible tells me clearly that
God is a God of love and that He is a good God (1 Chronicles 16:34; 1
John 4:16).
This means that if you are sick, God’s
heart is and will always be
to heal and restore health and life to you. He so desires for you to
walk in health and life that He gave you His beloved Son, Jesus, so that
you might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). God is for you to walk in abundant
health and life. He does not want your body and life sapped, incapacitated or debilitated by pain, sickness and disease, and He will never withhold healing from you.
How important is your healing and health to the Lord? So important that
He Himself paid the
heaviest and most terrible
price for your wholeness! At the cross, Jesus was judged, burnt, smitten
and crushed. He paid the full price for your healing, health and
wholeness so you could experience His abundant life. Today, there is no
symptom in your body that is too insignificant for Him to care
about, and no condition that
is greater than what His finished work has accomplished.
Beloved, if you’re facing challenges in your body today, I encourage you
to meditate on the love and finished work of our Lord Jesus through the
healing scriptures below. These Bible verses pertain specifically
to your healing. In them,
you will see the Lord’s heart to heal you and your loved ones, and how
your healing has already been paid for at the cross. When you see also
how willingly and compassionately Jesus simply healed all who came to
Him, as long as they had a physical need, faith will rise in your
heart to know that He wants
to, and can do the same for you.
You may find some of the verses
familiar, but I pray this will not stop you from soaking yourself in
these healing scriptures, chewing on them and trusting the powerful and
living Word of God to bring healing and life to your body.
The Bible tells us that
God’s Word is “life to those who find them, and health to all their
flesh” (Proverbs 4:22). So as you immerse yourself in God’s healing
promises and speak them over your body, expect to receive an abundance
of His divine healing and resurrection life!
Apart from these
healing scriptures, you will
also find a prayer at the end of the verses that you can pray or speak
over yourself or your loved ones. I pray that through these avenues, you
will keep receiving the healing and wholeness you are trusting Jesus
for, and keep walking in an increasingly greater measure of
His health and life!
God Wants You Healed And Whole
Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses)
and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly]
considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if
with leprosy]. But He was
wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and
iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being
for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are
healed and made whole.

the night, nor

heart; for they [are] life to those who find them, and health to all
their flesh.

Prayer For Healing And
Wholeness
“Lord Jesus, I thank
You that You love me and that You are both able and willing to heal me.
At the cross, You took all my sicknesses and pains in Your own body,
and by Your stripes, I am healed! Your body was scourged and broken so
that mine can be made whole. I receive all that You have done for me
and I rest in Your
finished work. There is nothing more for me to do. As I wait on You for
the complete manifestation of my healing, I choose to focus on and give
praise for Your great love for me. Amen!”
To find out more of what the
Lord has done for you, and to extent to which He has saved you, spirit,
soul and body, we would like to recommend the following resources by
