Healing Through the Word: God's Promise for Your Health
Dec 30, 2024
Discover Divine Healing: God’s Will for Your Health
Healing is a promise from God, woven throughout His Word and fulfilled through Jesus Christ. From the Old Testament to the New, God’s desire for His people is clear: He wants us to live in divine health, free from sickness and disease. Psalm 103:3-4 tells us that God heals all our diseases and redeems our lives from destruction. This isn’t just spiritual healing—it includes physical healing, as seen throughout scripture.
The Biblical Foundation of Healing
The word for diseases in Psalm 103:3 refers to physical illnesses, and the term for heals consistently pertains to the physical body. In Exodus 15:26, God declares, “I am the Lord that heals you.” This promise is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus healed every sickness and disease (Matthew 9:35). Hebrews 13:8 reminds us that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, assuring us that God’s healing power is still available.
Jesus’ Sacrifice: The Price Paid for Our Healing
Isaiah 53:4-5 reveals that Jesus bore not only our sins but also our sicknesses. Matthew 8:16-17 confirms this truth, showing that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy by healing all who were sick. By His stripes, we are healed (1 Peter 2:24). His suffering during the scourging and on the cross wasn’t just for our spiritual salvation, but also for the healing of our physical bodies.
The Role of Faith in Healing
Healing requires faith. Just as we believe in Jesus as our Savior for salvation, we must believe in Him as our Healer to receive healing. Romans 10:17 teaches that faith comes by hearing the Word of God. When we align our beliefs with His Word, the Holy Spirit confirms the truth with healing and miracles.
How to Receive Healing
To walk in divine health, three key steps are essential:
- Know God’s Will – Study His Word and believe that healing is His will for you.
- Trust in the Holy Spirit’s Power – Recognize that healing comes through His power working in you.
- Act in Faith – Take action based on God’s promises, such as declaring your healing or seeking prayer.
Overcoming Doubt and Unbelief
Incorrect teachings can lead to doubt and hinder believers from receiving healing. It’s vital to surround yourself with faith-building truth and avoid anything that contradicts God’s promises. Speak life over your situation, affirming that “By His stripes, I am healed.”

Healing is not just a future promise; it’s available to you now. As believers, we must develop a “Now” faith—expecting God to move today, not someday.
