Healing: to make or become healthy, sound, or whole; cure or remedy.

There are a lot of ads on TV, the radio, and outdoor billboards pertaining to “being healthy or whole.” I would say that most of these pertain to the physical aspect of our lives–eating healthy to stay healthy and getting enough exercise to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. However, the Word of God teaches us that when we have faith in God, He promises to heal us physically, mentally, and spiritually. (All of the scriptures are taken from the NIV version.)

Exodus 23:25: “Worship the Lord your God, and His blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.”

Psalm 30:2: “O Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.”

Isaiah 53:4-6: “Surely he took up our infirmities and carried out sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

Psalm 103:2-5: “Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits–who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

Jeremiah 17:14: “Heal me O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.”

Mark 5:34: “He said, ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.'”

God wants healing for everyone; He has promised it.
