Healing Promises (3 page)

If you then, being evil, know how to give good
gifts to your children, how much more will
your Father who is in heaven give
good things to those who ask Him!

—M
ATTHEW 7:11

God Is Your Loving Father

God wants you to know that He is not the kind of Father who wants you sick and defeated. Instead, He is the kind of Father who enjoys providing for your needs. He is a good Father who will not withhold healing and a healthy body from you.

As your loving Father, God’s joy is to see you blessed with the best. If you, in spite of your faults, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to you when you ask Him!

My prayer today is that you will know just how much your Father loves you and be bold to ask Him for what you need.

“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and He
saved them from their distress. He sent out His
word and healed them, snatching them
from the door of death.

—P
SALM 107:19–20, NLT

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and
conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
in whom we have redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of sins.

—C
OLOSSIANS 1:13–14

Your Redeemer Has Delivered You From All Sicknesses

Jesus willingly came down from heaven to redeem you from a life of sickness, poverty and death to a life of freedom, health and blessings! He willingly suffered for you at the cross so that you may walk in the fullness of redemption’s blessings—divine health, restoration, peace and provision!

Simply look to Jesus and His finished work today and see how much God loves you. You will see how much more God wants to bless you than you want to be blessed, and how much more He wants to heal you than you want to be well!

For I am persuaded that neither death
nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor
powers, nor things present nor things
to come, nor height nor depth, nor any
other created thing, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God which
is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

—R
OMANS 8:38–39

Beloved, I pray that in all respects you
may prosper and be in good health,
just as your soul prospers.

OHN 1:2, NASB

God Wants You To Always Prosper And Be In Health

The Bible tells us that God’s love is so immeasurable, powerful and all-encompassing that nothing can ever separate us from it.

Because God loves you so much, His desire above all things is always for you, His beloved child, to prosper in all that you do and
be in health,
even as your soul prospers.

If an earthly father would want his child to be happy and healthy, how much more God, your heavenly Father? He wants you well and He is willing to use His power to make you well!

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and a hope.

—J
EREMIAH 29:11

…the very hairs on your head are all numbered.
So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God
than a whole flock of sparrows.

—L
UKE 12:7, NLT

If It Troubles You, God Wants To Take Care Of It!

Many Christians make the mistake of thinking that God is too busy taking care of the “big things” to be interested in the little problems they are facing.

But God is not like that. He is not just God Almighty, He is also your heavenly Father who loves you! To God, whether it’s a new pimple on your face, a sore throat or an aching back, no matter how trivial or commonplace it sounds, if it troubles you, He wants to take care of it!

If, as the Bible says, God bothers to keep track of how many hairs you have on your head, then there is no symptom, no discomfort and no condition in your body that He doesn’t know of or care about. His love for you is all-encompassing, personal and in-depth. There is nothing in your body or life too small that you can’t bring to Him and watch Him take care of!

…I have loved you with an everlasting love…

—J
EREMIAH
31:3

Since you are precious and honored in My sight,
and because I love you…Do not be afraid,
for I am with you…
