What
The Word Of God Says On Healing
Matthew 8:17
"... Himself took our infirmities, and
bore our sicknesses."
More good news! Through the
resurrection of Jesus we have salvation, healing, deliverance and
protection. Provision has been made for your physical and mental
healing through Jesus Christ! We can stand on both Old Testament and New Testament promises for healing.
Matthew 8:16-17
16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Further down on this page is a listing of some healing scriptures. It is by no means an exhaustive list of all the healing scriptures. Going
through the bible starting in the first book of Genesis, we see God
has provided supernatural healing to His people. It is His will to
heal you. It is His desire we walk in health. Healing is not a
question of His will, His Word is His will.
There is a false
teaching that to receive healing once must plant a "seed"--a
monetary gift towards what is usually the very ministry teaching
such an assertion. There may be a time God tells you to plant a
seed--you should do so out of obedience. His Word says we were
healed by the stripes of Jesus. Looking over the New Testament
miracles, I see no account of someone having to plant a seed to get
healing, in fact I am unaware of it in the New Testament or Old
Testament.
There are accounts where the person had to
perform acts of obedience. One account would be Naaman who was told
by Elisha to dip himself in the Jordan river seven times to be
healed of leprosy. Why? Because God commanded it of him. He is God,
and He may command something which seems far out to the natural
mind. But must you plant a monetary investment to get supernatural
healing? Read the New Testament gospel accounts (Matthew, Mark,
Luke, John, and Acts) and see how many healed people gave Jesus or
the apostles money before receiving their healing. None--no one-
nada. The answer to this question is no--its not mandatory. Nor should the healing
anointing be purchased, such a paying for a prayer cloth (Acts
19:12). Disgusting. Healing has already been provided
through salvation in Jesus Christ, stand on His Word. Jesus is the
Word (John 1:1).

HEALING SCRIPTURES

appears in parenthesis.
Isaiah 53:4-5
(NKJV)
4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But
He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our
iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His
stripes we are healed.
Another
translation of Isaiah 53:4-5 from The Complete Jewish
Bible reads:
4 In fact, it was our diseases he bore, our pains
from which he suffered; yet we regarded him as punished, stricken

crushed because of our sins; the disciplining that makes us whole
fell on him, and by his bruises we are healed.

well."

forgiven.
