From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals Himself as a healer. Sickness was never part of His original design for humanity. In Eden, Adam and Eve enjoyed perfect health until sin entered the world (Genesis 3). Yet, through Christ’s redemptive work, healing is restored as part of God’s covenant blessings.
Psalm 103:2-3 – “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases.”
God’s desire is not just that we endure sickness but that we overcome it through His Word, prayer, and faith.
Old Testament Foundations of Healing
A. God Reveals Himself as Healer
Exodus 15:26 – “I am the LORD who heals you.”
In Hebrew, this is Jehovah Rapha — “The Lord your Physician.” God spoke this to Israel shortly after delivering them from Egypt, showing that health is part of His covenant care.
B. Covenant Promises of Health
Deuteronomy 7:15 – “The LORD will keep you free from every disease.”
This promise is rooted in obedience. God assured Israel that walking in His ways would bring protection from affliction.
C. Healing Through the Word
Psalm 107:20 – “He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
God’s Word is a living medicine that works in the spirit, soul, and body.
D. Prophecy of the Messiah’s Healing Work
Isaiah 53:4-5 – “Surely He took up our pain and bore our suffering… by His wounds we are healed.”
This is not symbolic — the Messiah would literally take our sickness as part of His redemptive mission.
Healing in the Ministry of Jesus
A. Healing Was Central to His Mission
● Matthew 4:23-24 – Jesus healed every sickness and disease.
● Luke 4:18 – The anointing of the Holy Spirit empowered Him to set people free from physical and spiritual oppression.
B. Fulfillment of Isaiah’s Prophecy
● Matthew 8:16-17 – Jesus’ healings proved He carried our sickness and diseases in His own body.
C. Faith as a Channel of Healing
Mark 5:34 – “Daughter, your faith has made you well.”
Healing often follows personal faith in God’s power.
D. Healing for All
Acts 10:38 – “God anointed Jesus… healing all who were oppressed by the devil.”
No one was excluded — healing is not for a select few.
Healing in the Early Church
● Acts 3:6-8 – Peter’s command to the lame man to walk shows the authority of Jesus’ name over sickness.
● James 5:14-15 – The elders were instructed to pray for the sick, believing for complete restoration.
Healing as Our Inheritance in Christ
Healing is not just a miracle — it’s part of the salvation package. The Greek word sozo means “to save, heal, and deliver.”
● 3 John 2 – God desires us to be in health as our soul prospers.
● Hebrews 13:8 – “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” His healing power has not expired.
How to Stand on Healing Scriptures
1. Meditate Daily – Proverbs 4:20-22 calls God’s Word “life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.”
2. Speak the Word – Faith grows when you declare Scripture aloud.
3. Reject Fear – Fear is faith in the wrong direction; resist it with God’s truth.
4. Give Thanks – Praise God in advance for healing before you see it.

● His power is unlimited.
● His will is for you to be whole.
Malachi 4:2 – “But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays, and you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.”
