Health and Well-being

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed . . ." (Luke 4:18)

Healing is a result of Christ’s love, compassion, and concern. It is His will, His good pleasure, and it is well within His authority to heal us from every malady. Jesus delivers life and liberty to all who will receive Him, and He alone has the power to evict evil spirits who have taken up residence in the human soul. Our Lord not only heals, but He establishes a culture of well-being in and around those who will receive His touch. Obedience and belief in His word draw us close to Him and provide a fruitful path of health, restoration, and abundance. In Your presence is fullness of joy! (Psalm 16:11)

The question has been asked many times, "If Jesus still heals people, why don't we see the miraculous healings today as in Bible days?" The Bible, though, is clear - Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8) His power to heal us, cleanse us, and make us whole has not diminished one bit; and God is still willing, able, and mighty to save! The question lies in us and our faith --Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24) The prayers of the faithful unlock the doors of heaven and move the hand of God today, just as in Bible days. As our faith increases, God moves on our behalf more and more, answering our prayers, working wonders, healing the sick, feeding the poor, and saving the lost, just like Jesus promised. Health and well-being are ours in Christ, if we believe and pray. Do you believe? Do you pray?

Let's Pray - Dear Father, I desire to live a clean and healthy life, and I know that life comes only from You. Lead me in the way of truth, and my testimony of your goodness be loud and clear. Amen.

  1. Amen...And by faith I do believe He Is Still Able to Heal, Restore, and Deliver just like He did in the former Bible days. His blood and His touch will NEVER LOSE its POWER. Well as myself and many whom have gone ahead of me yet still suffer disease in the flesh; the reality of His power to heal does NOT go liking. And in some cases not only do we believe WE KNOW HE DOES because HIS POWER is keeping me alive today. Medicine has its limitations but my experience has been HIM REACHING and STRETCHING BEYOND what man can do when it comes to prolonging life and His power to live longer than expected. God has quicken my moral body over and over again. Had He not; I am one who would NOT be here. I don't always have an understanding of all the WHY's during certain times. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HIS POWER IS ANY LESS. HE HAS A PURPOSE and the knowledge of what I can't always see in the natural realm. But my spirit knows....beyond what is seen that it is as it is written....I AM HEALED!!!! I AM HEALED. And if all else seemingly fails...I CAN ALWAYS LEAN ON THE TRUTH THAT IS WRITTEN (as well) I HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. Thank God for His gift. Thanking Him alone for His power. I enjoy giving Him a little praise and worship...in the truth that God Almighty is a healer, heart fixer, and a mind regulator. Makes a way out no way. Blind to see and the lame to walk....YES I BELIEVE!!!!
