GOD's POWER over HEALTH

 

Jeremiah 17:5

King James Version

5 Thus saith the Lord; 

Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, 

and maketh flesh his arm, 

and whose heart departeth 

from the Lord.

Many don't realize GOD's power over everything.

But how could you, unless you're born again?

That's the only way we receive His SPIRIT.

It is SPIRIT Who teaches us GOD's TRUTH.

It is SPIRIT Who teaches us that JESUS is the Divine Healer.

It is SPIRIT Who teaches us to GLORIFY GOD.

It is SPIRIT Who teaches us about GOD's wrath.

It is SPIRIT Who teaches us about Scripture.

It is only GOD Who has REAL power.

Especially regarding health.

Whether it be of mind, body, or spirit.

SPIRIT gives us proof, through these verses.

On actual, or symbolic ailments.

Of man, and nations.

Numbers 21:5-6

King James Version

5 And the people spake against God, 

and against Moses, 

Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt 

to die in the wilderness? 

for there is no bread, 

neither is there any water; 

and our soul loatheth this light bread.

6 And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, 

and they bit the people; 

and much people of Israel died.

1 Samuel 16:14-23

King James Version

14 But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, 

and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.

15 And Saul's servants said unto him, 

Behold now, 

an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

16 Let our lord now command thy servants, 

which are before thee, 

to seek out a man, 

who is a cunning player on an harp: 

and it shall come to pass, 

when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, 

that he shall play with his hand, 

and thou shalt be well.

17 And Saul said unto his servants, 

Provide me now a man that can play well, 

and bring him to me.

18 Then answered one of the servants, 

and said, Behold, 

I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, 

that is cunning in playing, 

and a mighty valiant man, 

and a man of war, 

and prudent in matters, 

and a comely person, 

and the Lord is with him.

19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, 

and said, 

Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.

20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, 

and a bottle of wine, and a kid, 

and sent them by David his son unto Saul.

21 And David came to Saul, 

and stood before him: 

and he loved him greatly; 

and he became his armourbearer.

22 And Saul sent to Jesse, 

saying, 

Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; 

for he hath found favour in my sight.

23 And it came to pass, 

when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, 

that David took an harp, 

and played with his hand: 

so Saul was refreshed, 

and was well, 

and the evil spirit departed from him.

2 Chronicles 16:12-13

King James Version

12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign 

was diseased in his feet, 

until his disease was exceeding great: 

yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, 

but to the physicians.

13 And Asa slept with his fathers, 

and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

Isaiah 1:4-8

King James Version

4 Ah sinful nation, 

a people laden with iniquity, 

a seed of evildoers, 

children that are corrupters: 

they have forsaken the Lord, 

they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, 

they are gone away backward.

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? 

ye will revolt more and more: 

the whole head is sick, 

and the whole heart faint.

6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head 

there is no soundness in it; 

but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: 

they have not been closed, 

neither bound up, 

neither mollified with ointment.

7 Your country is desolate, 

your cities are burned with fire: 

your land, strangers devour it in your presence, 

and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8 And the daughter of Zion 

is left as a cottage in a vineyard, 

as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, 

as a besieged city.

Jeremiah 30:12-15

King James Version

12 For thus saith the Lord, 

Thy bruise is incurable, 

and thy wound is grievous.

13 There is none to plead thy cause, 

that thou mayest be bound up: 

thou hast no healing medicines.

14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; 

they seek thee not; 

for I have wounded thee 

with the wound of an enemy, 

with the chastisement of a cruel one, 

for the multitude of thine iniquity; 

because thy sins were increased.

15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? 

thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: 

because thy sins were increased, 

I have done these things unto thee.

Jeremiah 46:11

King James Version

11 Go up into Gilead, 

and take balm, 

O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: 

in vain shalt thou use many medicines; 

for thou shalt not be cured.

Ezekiel 30:20-24

King James Version

20 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, 

in the first month, 

in the seventh day of the month, 

that the word of the Lord came unto me, 

saying,

21 Son of man, 

I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; 

and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, 

to put a roller to bind it, 

to make it strong to hold the sword.

22 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; 

Behold, 

I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, 

and will break his arms, 

the strong, and that which was broken; 

and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

23 And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, 

and will disperse them through the countries.

24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, 

and put my sword in his hand: 

but I will break Pharaoh's arms, 

and he shall groan before him 

with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

Mark 5:25-26

King James Version

25 And a certain woman, 

which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, 

and had spent all that she had, 

and was nothing bettered, 

but rather grew worse,

1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.

1 John 3:17

King James Version

17 But whoso hath this world's good, 

and seeth his brother have need, 

and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, 

how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Revelation 18:23-24

King James Version

23 And the light of a candle 

shall shine no more at all in thee; 

and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride 

shall be heard no more at all in thee: 

for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; 

for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, 

and of saints, 

and of all that were slain upon the earth.

If we are in need of healing, we need to trust GOD.

Jeremiah 17:7-8

King James Version

7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, 

and whose hope the Lord is.

8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, 

and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, 

and shall not see when heat cometh, 

but her leaf shall be green; 

and shall not be careful in the year of drought, 

neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

We need to repent of our sins, if healing is to take place in self, and nations:

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version

14 If my people, 

which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, 

and pray, 

and seek my face, 

and turn from their wicked ways; 

then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, 

and will heal their land.

Proverbs 3:5-6

King James Version

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; 

and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, 

and he shall direct thy paths.

We have a merciful GOD.

He prepares us for what is to come.

He gives us strength for the journey.

These I found, since GOD made me born again.

Today was another day for remembrance.

SPIRIT and I just finished an article:

"COMPLEX to SIMPLE"

As I edited the material, He brought me back to a 2021 article we wrote:

"The TRUE BORN AGAIN"

It was written simply, and beautifully.

I was to use it as a link for the first article.

As I re-read that post, I realized it was written on 3 October 2021.

I was not to know that 12 days after, my beloved baby sister would pass on.

So, it presses upon my heart again.

The tears wanting to flow.

Every now and then, the same thing occurs.

Reminding me of the articles we wrote before she passed on.

All articles always involved SPIRIT, baby sis, and I.

We were a team.

I was just two years into being saved then.

Those two years were busy years of writing, and caring for family.

I was to be tested.

JESUS took my baby sis back home.

Would I be overcome by grief?

Would I keep on?

Would I carry the torch for JESUS, baby sis, and I?

Would my shattered heart be put back together?

Would I stay on the path?

What do you think happened?

Was I a true born again?

By the GRACE of GOD, by the LOVE of JESUS, and love for the rest of my family, I kept on.

It wouldn't do to fall apart when I had other members to think of.

I was not the only one grieving.

I could not quit the task given me.

I held on to JESUS:

Luke 9:23

King James Version

23 And he said to them all, 

If any man will come after me, 

let him deny himself, 

and take up his cross daily, 

and follow me.

I carry that cross each day.

We created more blogs.

I saved my sister's spot in our room.

Why change a beautiful thing?

It's as if she's still there.

Even as I know she's with JESUS now.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

King James Version

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: 

and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

2 Corinthians 5:8

King James Version

8 We are confident, I say, 

and willing rather to be absent from the body, 

and to be present with the Lord.

Only through JESUS am I able to keep on.

GOD made me born again on time.

If He didn't, how would I survive the pain?

He gave me enough preparation for pain.

He gave me SPIRIT, to teach me Scripture.

He gave me Scripture, for healing.

He gave me a premonition, a month before.

He gave me a vision of angels, a week before.

He gifted me with my precious baby sister.

I can only thank GOD, continually.
