Divine Healing is EASY

Divine healing is EASY!

Jeremiah 32:17 says,

Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.

Most people have no difficulty believing that God will forgive them of their sins. But they struggle to believe that a loving God could or would heal them of their diseases.

With the help of Satan, mankind has made divine healing difficult to receive. But God has always made it easy. One sacrifice, the blood of Jesus and the stripes He bore, redeemed us from every sin and every disease.

We have many types and shadows of this under the Old Covenant.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And forget not all His benefits:

Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases,

Psalm 103:2-3 NKJV

Notice the word “all” in verse three. That means no sin or disease remains. They have all been forgiven and healed, every last one, including diseases unknown in Jesus’ time!

Verses four and five are so good, I just have to mention them here, too.

Who redeems your life from destruction,

Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

Who satisfies your mouth with good things,

So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Psalm 103:4-5 NKJV

This is the all-inclusive package! These verses show us everything that’s included in God’s benefits package.

We’ve been redeemed from destruction—that eliminates cancer and all other destructive diseases. We’ve been given good and powerful words to speak out of our mouths—the Word of God brings health like a medicine.

Even as we age, we can expect our youth to be renewed. I declare daily that my youth is renewed like the eagle’s, and you should too! That’s how you stay strong and active in old age.

Let’s look at an account of Jesus ministering to a paralytic that validates Psalm 103.

“Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’?  But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”

Mark 2:8-12 NKJV

Notice the phrase, “Which is EASIER?” Jesus didn’t say, “Which is more difficult?” He said, “Which is EASIER?” God thinks that forgiveness and healing are EASY. People often think that it’s hard to receive healing. But that is clearly not God’s thought.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways,

And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Isaiah 55:8-9 NKJV

When it comes to healing, I’m so glad God has higher thoughts than men do! His thought is that He has made forgiveness and healing EASY! Jesus said it was easy to heal a paralytic. There are few things that seem more impossible than a paralytic getting up and walking away completely healed. But remember that Jeremiah said there is nothing too difficult for God!

When we think of something easy, we think of a state of rest.

Hebrews 4:3 says,

For we who have believed do enter that rest

Faith is a place of rest. When we believe the Word of God concerning our healing, we enter a state of rest. And rest is EASY.

We’re going to look at one more witness from the epistles that healing and forgiveness are an easy package deal.

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

James 5:14-15 NKJV

The word “save” is translated from the Greek word “sozo” which means to heal, preserve, save, do well, and be made whole. The prayer of faith—the place of rest—WILL heal the sick. The Lord will raise him up. And if he has sinned, he WILL be forgiven!

This doesn’t sound hard to me. This actually sounds EASY.

The next time you’re tempted to make healing difficult in your life, remember these words from the Bible. God wants you to live in health so much that He made receiving your healing EASY!

Today is a good day to receive healing!
