Healing Promises (6 page)

A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve
years with constant bleeding. She had suffered a
great deal from many doctors, and over the years
she had spent everything she had to pay them, but
she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten
worse. She had heard about Jesus, so she came
up behind Him through the crowd and touched
His robe. For she thought to herself, “If I can just
touch His robe, I will be healed.” Immediately the
bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body
that she had been healed of her terrible condition.

ARK 5:25–29, NLT

Hear How God Is Always Good Toward The Sick

She had been hemorrhaging continuously for 12 years. Medical science had no answer. Money to pay for expensive medication had run dry, very likely with all faith and hope that she could be made well.

And then one day, she heard of a travelling preacher, teacher and healer. She heard about His compassionate touch, His kind eyes and healing hands. She heard that everyone who came to Him to be healed was healed. Suddenly, faith to believe that she would be next sparked on the inside. And when this woman touched Jesus with that faith, power left His body and healed her instantly!

What had fired up her faith? It was simply hearing about how good, kind and loving Jesus was that led her to believe that He was both able and willing to heal her.

God is just as willing to heal you today. Just focus on His love for you. See His heart to heal you of your condition and faith will ignite in you, sparking off an explosion of healing in your body!

“So don’t worry about these things, saying,
‘What will we eat? What will we drink?
What will we wear?’ These things dominate
the thoughts of unbelievers, but your
heavenly Father already knows
all your needs… and He will
give you everything you need.”

ATTHEW 6:31–33, NLT

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from
above, and comes down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation
or shadow of turning.

AMES 1:17

Your Heavenly Father Wants You Blessed And Healthy!

If you were a parent, wouldn’t you want the best for your children? Would you ever want them to be diseased, poor and suffering? Of course not. You’d want your children to be blessed, strong and healthy, and enjoying the best things in life, wouldn’t you?

Think about this for a moment. If you on earth know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more your Father in heaven who loves you and knows how to bless you and your children with divine health, provision and protection!

Beloved, expect to receive good from the Lord, who is full of grace and mercy, every day!

What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?

—R
OMANS 8:31

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

—R
OMANS 8:35

Yet in all these things we are more than
conquerors through Him who loved us.

OMANS 8:37

If God Is For You, Who Can Be Against You?

When the Almighty God is your loving Father and you are His beloved, what fears can you have? Fear of the future? Fear of sickness? Fear of death?

Beloved, when you have a revelation of how much God loves you and that He sees you completely righteous by the blood of Jesus Christ, all your fears will dissipate, for if God is for you, who or what can be against you? What sickness can come against you and successfully bring you down?

So look away from your circumstances and call out without fear to your Father. He loves you and will never condemn you! Feed on His everlasting love for you and receive your healing from Him!

If
GOD
is

FOR YOU

and not against you…

…
then
He
is
for

your healing and

against
the disease
.

How then can the disease

prevail against you?

A funeral procession was coming out as He
approached the village gate. The young man who
had died was a widow’s only son… When the Lord
saw her, His heart overflowed with compassion.
“Don’t cry!” He said. Then He walked over to the
coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped.
“Young man,” He said, “I tell you, get up.”
Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk!
And Jesus gave him back to his mother.
