God Keeps His Promises—And That Includes Your Healing

If you are suffering from sickness and disease, do you think God is willing to heal someone like you? Let me help you with the answer: EMPHATICALLY yes!! How can you be sure that He will heal you every time you need it? You have His Word on it!! Do you believe it is God’s will to keep His promise? Here are a few promises of God regarding healing:

For I am the Lord who heals you.

Ex 15:26 NKJV

He Himself took our infirmities

And bore our sicknesses.

Matt 8:17 NKJV

[Who] Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed.

1 Peter 2:24 NKJV

All these promises are for YOU! They are not for a select few individuals. And since God said it in His Word, you can take it to the bank and cash it!

Even though healing is for all, it must be received by FAITH, or we could say by TRUST.

Therefore, before anyone can have steadfast faith for healing, they must be rid of all uncertainty about God’s will to heal. God’s promises are each a revelation of what God is eager to do for us. Until we know these promises, there is nothing on which to base our faith.

The Bible teaches us that faith comes by hearing, and hearing what the Word of God promises.

And faith is expecting God to do what we know He has said in His word that He will do. Faith is believing that God speaks the truth.

God is not a man, that He should lie,

Nor a son of man, that He should repent.

Has He said, and will He not do?

Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Num 23:19 NKJV

If someone you trusted promised to give you $1000 tomorrow, and they were in the habit of keeping their word, you would believe and act like it was true. Shouldn’t we trust our Heavenly Father more than we trust the word of any man?

Regarding healing, there are only 2 platforms on which to stand: Belief or unbelief. Either the word of God is true, or it is not. God is either reliable, or He is not. Will we believe the Word of God is truthful, or not?

Genuine faith in God and in His Word will step out on what He has said, regardless of what we see, feel, or sense in the natural realm. Faith is a decisive act and depends only upon God’s Word. Faith ignores every natural symptom or evidence which is contrary to what the God’s Word says.

One of my favorite definitions of faith is found in Hebrews.

NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].

Heb 11:1 AMPC

Genuine faith will count healing as a real fact, even if your body says you are not healed. As Christians, one of the most important lessons we must learn is to not be moved by circumstances that contradict the Word of God. We must also learn to be patient, and not get discouraged if things don’t change immediately.

The devil doesn’t let anybody have a free pass – he will endeavor to deceive you so you will give up before you see the manifestation. But if you will not be moved by what you feel and see, and stand firm on what God says, you will win the battle every time!

I heard the story of a lady from New York, who many years ago was on her deathbed being ravaged by the effects of tuberculosis. She was a wonderful Christian, but had never heard about Divine healing. One afternoon she was reading the Bible and came across 1 Peter 2:24,

“[Who] Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness…”

As she read this verse, she began to weep with gratitude for the salvation Jesus had provided for her. She knew when this disease had run its course, she would be ready to die and go to Heaven. Then she decided to read further.

“… by whose stripes you were healed.”

She looked back and noticed that Jesus had already bore her sins. It was in the past. It was real to her and nobody could make her doubt it. But what about the rest of the verse? Could it be true? Did it mean what it said? She concluded that it must be true.

She cried out, “Mother, did you know that God has said in His Word that I was healed? I never saw this before. It’s already done. I am healed. Get my clothes and bring them here!”

Her mother tried to calm her down, but she reminded her that she always taught her children to believe every word of the Bible. She arose from bed, put on her clothes, and shouted throughout the house.  She was completely healed!!

What happened here? She treated the Word of God as if it was actually TRUE! So we see that real faith is taking God at His Word and stepping out upon His promises with all confidence and sincerity, without a doubt or fear!

You can exercise your faith in the same way today and receive your healing!
