King Solomon gave us some sound advice on living a healthy life (Prov 3:7-8). He exhorted us us to not be wise in our own eyes but to fear and worship the Lord and to turn from sin. The king continued that this will bring us health. So, what does not "being wise in our own eyes" mean? I believe it means not being proud but being humble and trusting God rather than yourself.

 In the New Testament we also read a similar verse where man is taught: “not to think of himself more highly than he ought” (Rom 12:3; KJV). If being healthy is important to us (and I assume it is) then these verses above would be a good ones to pay attention to.  

Interestingly, in the next chapter of Proverbs, King Solomon outlines what we can do to experience health and healing. In Proverbs chapter 4 and verses 20 and 21 we are encouraged to pay close attention to the word, so much so that it becomes rooted in our hearts; this the King writes, will also bring health and healing.

We read in the New Testament that: "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh" (Matt 12:34). If we have an abundance of the word for healing and faith for healing, on the inside of us, in our hearts, then we can speak those words over our bodies to effect healing and health.

Psalm 103:2-3 talks about God’s benefits and reminds us that he heals all of our diseases. God told his people in Old Testament times that as long as they listened to him, obeyed his commandments and did what was right they would walk in his healing and health (Ex 15:26). We live in New Testament times and we know that we are healed by the stripes of Jesus (1 Peter 2:24). Jesus body was flogged, broken and striped with wounds so we could be whole.

In Acts 10:38 (KJV) Luke the physician wrote about Jesus: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”. Jesus is still our healer today; are told in the book of Hebrews that he never changes (Heb 13:8).

So, he can heal but will he heal me you may ask? Well God is no respecter of person (Mark 12:14). Jesus reassured the doubting leper: “And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean”. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed” (Matt 8:3).

Alleluia! Healing is yours, believe God for it today.

Does God heal today? Jesus healed by the power of the Holy Spirit when he was upon this earth; he healed: “all that were oppressed of the devil” (Acts 10:38; KJV). The Bible tells us that Jesus never changes (Heb 13:8). Jesus came that we might have abundant life, not sickness and premature death (John 10:10). God said: “I am the Lord that healeth thee” (Ex 15:26).

In both the Old (Isa 53:5) and New Testaments, it is made clear that Christ took stripes on his body, his body was broken, that we could be whole and be healed. “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed (1 Peter 2:24).  

We can receive God’s promise of healing by praying in faith (Mark 11:24). We develop the faith God gave us by spending time in his word: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom 10:17).

Let’s do it. Let’s be like the Psalmist and meditate God’s word day and night (Ps 1:2), until, like Abraham, we are fully convinced that God is able to do what he promised (Rom 4:21).

 In Psalm 103:2-3, King David the psalmist talks about God’s benefits and reminds us that he (God) heals all of our diseases. God had a healing covenant with his people in the old testament as long as they obeyed the law (Ex 15:26), but praise God, in the new testament, we are told that we are healed by the stripes of Jesus (1 Peter 2:24). Jesus body was flogged, broken and striped with wounds so we could be whole. In Acts 10:38 (KJV) Luke talks about Jesus: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him”. He is still our healer today as we are told in Hebrews that he never changes (Heb 13:8).  So, he can heal but will he heal me you may ask? Well, God is no respecter of person (Mark 12:14). A leper came to Jesus knowing Jesus could heal but not sure if it was his (Jesus) will to heal him; Jesus replied: “And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed” (Matt 8:3). If you are concerned with the scope of God’s desire to heal, be concerned no more. The apostle Matthew tells us that Jesus healed: “every sickness and every disease” (Matt 9:35) and that: “great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all” (Matt 12:15). Alleluia. Healing is yours, believe God for it today.
