Last night I was looking through some scriptures on healing. I looked up the word heal in my concordance and started going through every scripture listed. I found this one in Jeremiah that seemed to leap out at me.
Jeremiah 17:14 - Heal me, O Lord and I shall be healed; save me and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Corrie ten Boom used to tell a story about a young lady in Germany. The young lady was very sick and her brother had spent much time in prayer for her. He was reading his Bible one day and came across Mark 16:18: "And they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." He was so excited that he went to his sister and asked her if she believed the Bible. She replied that she did. He read her the scripture and then asked again, "do you believe this." She said, "I have never heard it, but I believe it because it is in the Bible." He then laid his hands on her and prayed. God immediately healed her.
The young lady went to her pastor on the next Sunday and told him what happened. She asked him if he had known that scripture was in the Bible. His reply stunned her. "My dear lady", he said. "I'm sorry to have to tell you but that verse is not part of original scripture. It was added centuries after the original was written." She was shocked for a moment and didn't know what to think. Then she looked at him and replied. "Oh what a magnificent book the Bible is that even an added verse has such power that I am healed."
I want to tell you today that there is power in the name of Jesus Christ to heal. God still does miracles. He has not changed because he is the same yesterday, today and forever. That being the case, what he did before he can and will do again. If you need healing today it is yours for the asking. God is a healer of ever physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional illness.
You don't have to say some magic words, have the atmosphere just right or anything else. He is ready and waiting to heal you. If you or someone you know needs healing claim this promise today. Call on the name of Jesus. Praise him for being the healer in your life. He is not only drawn to your needs but he inhabits your praise. (Psalm 22:3) Praise him for the healing and victory you need and he will be there right on time.
James 5:14 says we can call the elders of the church to lay hands on us and pray and we will be healed. If you need a miracle and you have prayed without results it is time for you to obey the scripture. Call for Godly elders who believe in the power of prayer. Let them pray with you, for you, and see what God will do.
I know we have all seen people who believed God and didn't get healed. We know there is a time for everyone to die. We can't avoid that. But the sickness you are in now does not have to be the one that takes you out. And you don't have to be sick when you do die. It is not God's will for you to suffer. He wants to heal because He is a healer by his very nature. Call on Jesus today. Let him show you his power. His able.
Jesus still heals!
