You Shall Be Healed

You Shall Be Healed “If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.” Exodus 15:26 Being in the health care field for 45 years I have sat and listened to people who were struggling with health issues, and have had them unburden their hearts to me about their fears of what was going to happen to them. They were torn apart emotionally, spiritually and physically with their diseases and usually did not know where to turn for comfort and reassurance. No one knows the anguish that people with chronic sickness suffer until they go through health issues themselves. God tells us in the scripture above that there is hope in Him as He can be our healer. I would encourage you to not lose hope, as He is still the God who heals us, no matter what disease we are battling, and no matter how bleak the situation looks. We can find many examples throughout the Bible where people with all kinds of illnesses were healed both by Jesus and by His disciples. Healing starts with the belief that there is a God and the faith and trust that God can heal any affliction. The Bible gives us instruction, hope and faith when we believe and pray to God for our healing. The Word of God tells us to lay our hands on those who are suffering, anoint them with oil and pray the prayer of faith to God on their behalf. When we do, we are taught that God will do the rest. We can discover that through prayer and asking God for healing that great things can take place. The power of God can heal, restore and make new bodies that were suffering. When we have even the amount of faith as small as a mustard seed we have enough faith to be healed My Daily Devotional Volume III April 19 Robert William Brock, Jr.
