Healings are also a strong sign the reign of death will come to a redemptive end ( Romans 5:17 8:20-21). God knows best and He distributes the gift of healing according to His will ( Hebrews 2:4).īesides honoring God and glorifying Jesus, healing is also for the common good of the Church ( 1 Corinthians 12:7). The Holy Spirit gives gifts to the Church ( 1 Corinthians 12:8-11), like the gift of healing ( 1 Corinthians 14:1). Jesus healed “every disease and sickness among the people” in Galilee ( Matthew 4:23), Judea ( Matthew 19:1-2), and everywhere He went ( Mark 6:56) to authenticate His Messiahship ( John 7:31) and give Israel a taste of the kingdom ( Luke 11:20). Healing also comes through the agency of the Holy Spirit working through believers’ spiritual gifts ( Acts 3:1-13a). The Father has the power to heal the whole person. No Scripture condemns the legitimate use of doctors or medical science, but one of the names of God is Jehovah-Rapha meaning “the Lord who heals.” Here are nine things the Bible says about healing and praying for healing.
Christians should want to approach healing in a biblical way, and in Scripture we discover the source and purposes for healing, as well as instruction and models for asking in faith. Because there are many opinions about healing, and those who use healing in self-serving ways, it’s important for Christians to go to the Bible for direction and guidance.
