Healing Promises (8 page)

News about Him spread as far as Syria,
and people soon began bringing to
Him all who were sick. And whatever
their sickness or disease, or if they
were demon-possessed or epileptic or
paralyzed—He healed them all.

—M
ATTHEW 4:24, NLT

…I am the Lord who heals you.

—E
XODUS 15:26

See The Real Jesus

The Bible tells us that if you want to know what God is like, just look at Jesus! If you want to know how the Father feels about healing the sick, just look at Jesus! Jesus ALWAYS healed the sick who came to him. The blind, lame, mute, deaf and demon-possessed—He healed them ALL!

Jesus NEVER gave sickness to anybody. You’ll find Jesus healing lepers when He was on earth, but you’ll never find Him calling anyone over and saying to the person, “You are too healthy and good-looking. Receive some leprosy to learn how to be humble!” No, when a leper came to Him, uncertain that Jesus would want to heal him, Jesus, full of compassion, told him firmly, “I am WILLING. Be healed!”

That’s your Jesus. That is your God. He is the Lord who heals you—today and always!

… God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Spirit and with
power, who went about doing good
and healing all who were oppressed
by the devil, for God was with Him.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
today, and forever.

EBREWS
13:8

He Is Still The Same

Jesus had prioritized divine healing during His earthly ministry. The Bible tells us that He went about “doing good and healing
all
who were oppressed by the devil”. In fact,
anyone
and
everyone
who came to Him for healing—whether it was for their children, servants, friends or for themselves—received their healing. Not a single one who had come to Him went away without receiving healing from Him.

And Jesus, who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever”, will do the same for you today. His heart still beats with compassion for you. He will never miss an opportunity to do good to you—to heal you of your broken body, emotional scars and weary spirit—and to bless you!

For I am the Lord, I do not change…

ALACHI
3:6

But You are always the same;
You will live forever.

SALM 102:27, NLT

And Jesus said to him, “I will come
and heal him.”

—M
ATTHEW
8:7

He has
never changed.

Ever constant,

ever compassionate,

JESUS
STILL HEALS

YOU
TODAY.

No one living in Zion will say,
“I am ill”; and the sins of those who
dwell there will be forgiven.

—I
SAIAH 33:24, NIV

But He was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins. He was beaten so
we could be whole. He was whipped so
we could be healed.

—I
SAIAH 53:5, NLT

Both Forgiveness And Healing Are Yours

God loves you so much that He not only caused Jesus to carry your sins, but also your diseases at the cross. Your forgiveness and healing are BOTH part of Jesus’ finished work at Calvary. He was crushed for your sins, and He was also lashed, scourged and whipped for your healing!

My friend, God has already healed you of all your diseases, afflictions and pains at the cross. You might have heard it taught that healing is a “bonus blessing” because it’s over and on top of salvation. But nothing could be further from the truth. Your salvation, purchased by Jesus at the cross,
includes healing.
Today, because of the cross of Jesus, you have the right to COMPLETE WHOLENESS, both within and without!

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
