HEALING SCRIPTURES
God's Word Is His Medicine
Proverbs 4:20-22 says, "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes: keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh." The Hebrew word for "health" in verse 22 is medicine. God's Word is medicine to all our flesh. Isaac Leeser's translation of
Exodus 15:26 reads, ". . . I the Lord am they physician." The medicine He prescribes is His Word.
Many make the mistake of substituting belief in healing for the actual taking of God's medicine-- His Word. They say, "I believe in healing" without actually taking the medicine. What good would it do you to believe in food if you didn't eat it? You would starve. What good would it do you to believe in water if you didn't actually drink any? You would die of thirst.
God's Word is His medicine. There are several parallels between God's medicine and natural medicine. First, God's Word is a healing agent just as natural medicine is a healing agent or catalyst. In other words, the medicine itself contains the capacity to produce healing. God's Word contains inherent within it the capacity, the energy, the ability, the nature to effect healing in your body.
- Psalm 107:20 says, "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."
- Fenton says, "He sent out his word, and it healed, and from their corruptions it freed!"
- Proverbs 4:22 says, "For they (His Words) are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
- Isaiah 55:10-11 says the Word of God will accomplish what it was sent out to do.
The Word itself contains the power to produce what it says, just as when God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Healing Scriptures contain with them the capacity to produce healing.
- Hebrews 4:12 says, "The word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit…"
- Weymouth says, "God's Message is full of life and power…"
- Jordan says, "God's Word is alive and with energy…"
- Knox says, "God's word to us is something alive, full of energy…"
The key to partaking of the life and healing energy in the Word is feeding on it until it penetrates your spirit, where it deposits that life and energy.
Secondly, we might say that medicine is no respecter of persons. It will work for anyone who takes it. It is not a matter of God wiling or not willing the healing of any individual, but whether or not the individual will receive healing by taking the medicine that produces it.
Thirdly, and most importantly, medicine must be taken according to directions to be effective. Some medicine labels read, "Take internally" while others say, "Take externally." To rub it on your body externally when the directions say to take it internally will not work. To take it after meals when the directions say take it before meals will reduce its effectiveness. To take it once in a while when the directions say three times every day will mean limited results, if any. No matter how good the medicine is, it must be taken according to directions or it won't work. So, it is with God's medicine. It must be taken according to directions to work. The directions for taking God's medicine -- God's Word -- are found in Proverbs 4:20-2 and says, "Attend to them, incline your ear to them, don't let them depart from before your eyes, and keep them in the midst of your heart."
Notice that it is only as they get in the midst of your heart and stay there that they produce healing in your body. Head knowledge won't do. They are going to have to penetrate to your spirit through meditation -- attending, hearing, looking, pondering, and declaring -- to produce healing in your body. But once they do penetrate, they will surely bring health to all your flesh. The Living Bible says, "…let them penetrate deep within your heart." You can see again that God's way of healing is spiritual. Power is ministered first to your spirit, and then distributed to your body. God's medicine must be taken internally.
Listen, instead of wondering whether you have enough faith to be healed, just take the medicine. Below is a list of healing scriptures. Feed on them several times a day, repeating them over and over again to yourself. The medicine itself will work if you will get it inside you.
Fourthly, remember that it takes time for medicine to work. Most people give natural medicine a lot of time, patience and money to work. They take the prescription back for refills. They are diligent about it. They don't just take one dose and expect a miracle. Keep taking God's medicine. Give it time to work.
Take your medicine. Say these scriptures to yourself. Think on what you're saying in your heart. Use them in praise to the Father. His Word is medicine to all your flesh.
Scriptures and Spoken Declarations
In faith, declare these scriptures and confessions out loud, and the Lord will establish it. For Job 22:28 says, "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; and the light shall shine upon thy ways."
Exodus 15:25-26. "And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee."
- [Leeser]" …for I the Lord am thy physician."
- [Basic English] "…I am the Lord your life-giver."
- [Rotherham] "…I am Yahweh thy physician."
- [Smith-Goodspeed] "…for I, the Lord, make you immune to them (diseases)."
- [Knox] "…I, the Lord, will bring thee only health."
God is speaking to me now, saying, "I am the Lord that heals thee." He is watching over this Word to perform it. He is healing me now. This Word contains the ability to produce what it says. His Word is full of healing power. I receive this Word now. I receive the healing that is in His Word now. Healing is inherent in God's nature. God is in me. My body is the temple of the Lord that heals me. God is bigger than sickness and Satan. God is dwelling inside of me now, healing me now. The Lord that heals me is my Shepherd; I do not lack healing. My body is in contact with the Lord that heals me. My body has to respond to God's healing life and nature at work in me now. Healing is in God and God is in me. I thank you, Father, because you are my Healer and You are healing me now.
Exodus23:25. "And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away for the midst of thee."
- [Basic English] "…And give worship to the Lord your God, who will send a blessing on your bread and on your water; and I will take all disease away from among you."
- [Moffatt, Smith-Goodspeed] "…I will free you from disease."
- [Young] "…I have turned aside sickness from thine heart."
- [Know] "…and keep sickness away from thy company."
"I will" is the strongest assertion that can be made in the English language. God is speaking to me now saying, "I will take sickness away from the midst of thee." God is watching over this Word and performing it in me now. He is taking sickness away from the midst of me. Goodbye sickness; the Lord is taking you away from the midst of me. Thank you, Father, for taking sickness far away from me. I thank you for doing what you said.
Deuteronomy 7:15. "And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee."
The Lord is taking away from me all sickness, every trace of weakness and deficiency.. His Word contains the ability to do what it says. His Word will not return void but accomplish what it was sent to do. Sickness is going out of me now. Thank you, Father, for taking away from me all sickness like you said.
Psalm 30:2. "O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou has healed me."
I believe I have received my healing. Thou has healed me. I don't consider what I feel. I believe Your Word that I am healed. Thou has healed me.
Psalm 42:11. "Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."
I refuse to be cast down or discouraged. I am the conqueror. Father I praise you because You are the health of my countenance.
Psalm 91:1-6. "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God: in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisesome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling."
- [Amplified] "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand)."
- [Leeser] "He who sitteth under the secret protection of the Most High, shall rest under the shadow of the Almighty."
- [Basic English] "Happy is he whose resting place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High; Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: he is my God…You will have no fear of the evil things of the night…Or of the disease which takes men in the dark…"
- [Good News] "He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly disease…and so no disaster will strike you, no violence will come near your home."
- [Knox] "It is he that rescues me from every treacherous snare, from every whisper of harm. Sheltered under his arms, under his wings nestling, thou art safe; his faithfulness will throw a shield about thee. Nothing shalt thou fear from mighty terrors…from the assault of man or fiend under the moon."
- [Living Bible] "...His faithful promises are your armor."
- [Basic English] "Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting place."
- [New English] "No disaster will befall you, no calamity will come upon your home."
- [Fenton] "So sickness will not approach you, Contagion not enter your Rest."
I'm abiding under the shadow of the Almighty. Jehova-Rapha, the Lord that heals me, is my refuge and fortress against disease. His Word is my shield and buckler against sickness. I'm trusting in Him, and there is healing in His wings (Malachi 4:1). I'm not afraid of disease and sickness. No plague shall come nigh my dwelling or my body. Sickness and disease are not mine. I refuse to be sick in Jesus' name. Sickness cannot trespass in my body. Sickness (name it), you cannot come nigh my dwelling. I refuse you; I resist you.
Psalm 103:2-3. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases, who redeemeth thy life from destruction."
- [New English Bible] "He pardons all my guilt and heals all my suffering."
- [Basic English] "..he takes away all your disease."
- [Young] "…Who is healing all thy disease."
Bless the Lord, Jehova-Rapha, O my soul. Blessed be God the Father. Lord, I praise You; Lord, I thank you. Praise You for your benefits. You forgive all my sin, all my faults, all my failures and disobedience. You heal all my diseases, and I thank you for it. Healing belongs to me as part of the New Covenant. Healing is my redemptive right. (A benefit is a condition of a contract, not a bonus thrown in extra at the discretion of the employer.) Thank You, Father, for healing all my diseases.
Psalm 107:20. "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."
- [Moffatt] "He sent his word to heal them and preserve their life.
- [Leeser] "…and delivereth them from their graves.
- [Fenton] "He sent out His word, and it healed, and from their corruptions it freed!
He sent His Word and healed me. His word heals me and delivers me from my destructions. His Word frees me from my corruptions. God's Word contains God's ability to perform what it says (Isaiah 55:10-11.) His Word is healing me now. His Word contains His healing power. He has sent His Word and healed me.
Proverbs 4:20-22. "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
- [Living Bible] "…let them penetrate deep within your heart."
- [Knox] "Let a man master them, they will bring life and healing to his whole being."
- [Rotherham] "…to every part of one's flesh they bring healing."
God's Word is health and medicine to all my flesh. The Word of God is full of the life of God. That life is saturating my spirit. God's life and healing power is in His Word, and His Word is at work in me now. The Word of God is depositing the life of God and the healing of God into my spirit. That life and health is spreading out of my spirit into every tissue and pore of my body, creating health and soundness. My body has no choice but to respond to the healing in the Word that is being absorbed into me now.
Proverbs 12:18. "There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health."
- [Moffatt] "A reckless tongue wounds like a sword, but there is healing power in thoughtful words."
- [Good News] "Thoughtless words can wound as deeply as any sword, but wisely spoken words can heal."
- [Basic English] "There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again."
My tongue makes me well. I have what I say. I say, "The Lord is my Healer. He takes sickness away from me. No plague comes nigh my dwelling. He Heals all my diseases." What I confess, I possess. Speaking His Words make me well. There is healing power in my words when they are God's words. I speak health to every muscle, tissue, fiber, and cell in my body. I release God's healing power with my words into my whole body. Healing is mine.
Proverbs 17:22. "A merry heart doeth good like medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones."
- [Smith-Goodspeed] "A happy heart makes a healthy body…"
- [Jerusalem] "A glad heart is excellent medicine, a spirit depressed wastes the bones away."
- [Knox] "A cheerful heart makes a quick recovery; it is crushed spirits that waste the man's frame."
- [Rotherham] "A joyful heart worketh an excellent cure…"
Ha! Ha! Ha! I have a merry heart. Sickness cannot dominate me. Satan cannot dominate me. You cannot put sickness on me. I have a merry heart. I am full of joy. A merry heart works like a medicine. God's medicine is working in and for me.
Isaiah 53:3-5. "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hat borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
- [Masoretic O.T.] "Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried…"
- [Byington] "But in fact it was our sicknesses he was carrying, our pains he was loaded with."
- [Moffatt] "…the blows that fell to him have brought us healing."
- [Amplified] "…the chastisement needful to obtain peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes that wounded Him we are healed and made whole."
Surely, He has borne my sickness and diseases and carried my pains. He took my sicknesses on Himself and carried my pains. He bore them and carried them far away. I refuse to bear what He bore for me. Satan cannot put on me what Jesus bore for me. By the stripes that wounded Jesus, I am healed and made whole. By His bruises there is healing for me. By His punishment I am made whole. Healing is mine. My diseases went to the cross with Jesus and died with Him there. Satan, you're attacking a child of God. Jesus took my sicknesses and by His stripes I am healed.
Malachi 4:2. "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
The Son of righteousness has arisen, having conquered sickness and Satan. There is healing in His wings. That healing is beaming into me now by His Word. I am trusting beneath His healing wings.
Matthew 8:2-3. "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."
- [Jerusalem] "A leper came up and bowed low in front of him. "Sir," he said, "if you want to, you can cure me." Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, "Of course I want to! Be cured!" And his leprosy was cured at once."
- [Basis English] "…Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have the power to make me clean. And he put his hand on him, saying, It is my pleasure; be clean."
- [Wuest] "…I am desiring it from all my heart. Be cleansed at once."
God wants me well. Healing is the will of God. God is at work in me right now to will and to do His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). Healing is at work in me.
Matthew 8:16-17. "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: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Easaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."
- [Amplified] "….He Himself took (in order to carry away) our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases."
Jesus took my infirmities and bare my sicknesses. He carried away my sicknesses. He bore them away and removed them. Disease is not mine. Healing is mine. I refuse to bear what Jesus bore fore me. I refuse to take what He took away for me. Satan, you cannot put disease on me, for Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. I refuse to accept or tolerate sickness. Jesus bore them and I refuse to have them.
Mark 5:25-34. "And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing better, but rather grew worse. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, they faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."
- [Wuest] "…A woman had a spirit that caused an infirmity eighteen years and was completely bent together by a curvature of the spine and was not able to raise herself up at all."
- [Williams] "..at once she straightened herself up and burst into praising God."
Satan cannot bind me with sickness. I have been delivered from Satan's dominion and translated into the kingdom of the Son of God (Colossians 1:13). Sickness is ungodly. Sickness is of the devil. Satan, you cannot put sickness on me. Who do you think you are? You are a defeated foe. Jesus stripped you of your authority over me (Colossians 2:15, Hebrews 2:14). You cannot do this to me. I resist you in Jesus' name. I am delivered. I am free; I have been loosed. I am now rid of my infirmity. My bondage is ended! It is right for me to be completely free, for I am a child of Abraham, and Abraham's blessing are mine (Galatians 3:14, 29). Healing is part of the covenant. I am under the covenant. Healing is mine. It is my rightful possession. Satan, take your filthy hands off my body!
Mark 16:17-18. "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
The name of Jesus is greater than sickness. Jesus conquered sickness and disease. In His name, I command disease to leave my body. Satan, take your hands off me. I cast you out in Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus, I am free.
Luke 10:19. "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
- [Amplified] "Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and (physical and mental strength and ability) over all the power that the enemy (possesses), and nothing shall in any way harm you."
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself gave me authority over all the power of the enemy. I have authority over sickness. Sickness, I trample on you; I tread on you; I stomp on you. Get out. You have no right to dominate me. Get out of my body in Jesus' name. Sickness and disease are under my feet because I am seated with Christ above all the power of the enemy (Ephesians 2:6)
John 14:12-14. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it."
The name of Jesus gives me authority. Jesus is the resurrected healing Lord. In the name of Jesus I command disease to leave my body. My body is healed in Jesus' name.
John 15:4-5. "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."
- [Phillips] "You must go on growing in me and I will grow in you. For just as the branch cannot bear any fruit unless it share the life of the vine, so you can produce nothing unless you go on growing in me. I am the vine itself; you are the branches. It is the man who shares my life and whose life I share who proves fruitful. For the plain fact is that apart from me you can do nothing at all.
I am in union with Christ. My spirit is in union with Christ the Healer. I draw out His healing power, and it is manifested in my body. I am one with the healing Vine. I am in union with the healing Christ. I have His life and health in me.
Acts 3:16. "And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all."
His name and my faith in His name give me perfect soundness and make me strong. The name of Jesus is greater than sickness. All that He is is in His name. All He did is in His name. I speak His name, Jesus, to my body now. Every disease germ dies now in Jesus' name. My body is made whole in Jesus' name.
Acts 10:38. "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."
- [Barclay] "…curing all those who were under the tyranny of the devil…"
- [Jordan] "…God equipped him with the Holy Spirit and power, who passed through our midst acting nobly and healing all those who were lorded over by the devil…"
- [Concordant] "…Who passed through as a benefactor and healer of all those who are tyrannized over by the Adversary…"
Satan cannot oppress me with sickness, for I have been delivered from his authority (Colossians 1:13). I have authority to tread on Satan and demons and all the power the enemy possesses. I tread on sickness. Healing is mine. The power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in me now. It is healing power because He is the Lord that heals. Healing power is at work in me and I am free.
Romans 8:2. "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death."
- [Translator's NT] "For the principle of spiritual life in Christ Jesus has liberated me from the principle of sin and death."
- Romans 8:11. "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you."
The Spirit of God is residing in me. The Spirit of God makes His home in my spirit. The Spirit Jehova-Rapha is in me, giving life to my body. The Spirit of the Lord that heals is creating life, supplying life in my body and making it whole. The life of Jehova-Rapha is being applied to my body by His Spirit who dwells in me. The life of God drives out every trace of sickness and disease. The life of God is destroying disease germs in my body now.
1 Corinthians 6:13, 15, 19, 20. "Meats for the belly, and belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
My body wasn't made for sin but for the Lord. My body wasn't made for sickness, but for the Lord. My body belongs to Christ. Satan, how dare you trespass on God's property. Take your hands off God's property in Jesus' name. My body is the temple of Jehova-Rapha, the Lord that heals. He is in me healing me now, for He is the Lord that heals me. I have been bought with a price. Jesus' blood cleansed me from all sin, and by His stripes, my body is healed. I glorify God in my body. You foul disease, take your hands off my body in Jesus' name.
Galatians 2:20. "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
I was crucified with Christ. I died with Him to sickness and disease. Moreover, I was raised with and in Him. His life now lives in me. Christ the Healer lives in me. Healing is in me because Christ is in me heals me.
Galatians 3:13. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangest on a tree."
- [Translator's NT] "Christ ransomed us from the curse of the law by taking that curse upon himself for our sakes."
- [Weymouth] "Christ has purchased our freedom."
Philippians 2:13. "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."
God--Jehova-Rapha --is at work in me, healing me. He is the Lord that heals me. God is greater than the devil. Healing is greater than sickness. God is healing me now.
Colossians 1:12. "Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light."
- [Smith-Goodspeed] "…thank the Father who entitled you to share the lot of God's people in the realm of light."
I am qualified, entitled, worthy and able to partake of my inheritance in Christ. Healing belongs to me (Psalm 102:3). I refuse to be beaten out of my inheritance.
Colossians 1:13. "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son."
I have been delivered from the authority of darkness. I am free of Satan's dominion. Sickness is of the devil. Satan cannot dominate me with sickness and disease. I have passed out of your jurisdiction over into the kingdom of the Son of God. I am a citizen in the kingdom of Jehova-Rapha, the Lord that heals me.
Colossians 1:14. "In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
- [Wade] "…In whom we have our ransoming, the remission of our sins."
In Christ Jesus I have redemption. I have been ransomed from captivity. I am delivered from Satan and his works. I am free from sickness and disease.
James 4:7. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
- [Barclay] "So, then, accept the authority of God. Take a stand against the devil, and he will run away from you."
- [Basic English] "…be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.
I submit to God. I humble myself before Him. I accept God's authority and His Word. I resist you, devil. I resist disease. You cannot rule over my body. Get out. Remove yourself. You must flee from my body now in the name of Jesus.
James 5:14-15. "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another, that y may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
- [Basic English]. "And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well."
- [Wade] "And the prayer offered in faith will restore the sufferer to health, and the Lord will raise him from his sick-bed."
The prayer of faith has made me whole. The Lord is raising me up. I cannot stay down. I believe I received when I prayed, and my faith makes me whole. I believe I have received my healing.
1 Peter 2:24. "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."
By His stripes I was healed. Healing belongs to me. I was healed two thousand years ago by the stripes Jesus bore. I'm not trying to get healing. I've got healing!
1 Peter 5:8-9. "Be sober, be vigilant; because our adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in our brethren that are in the world."
- [Barclay] "You must resist him with a rock-like faith."
- [Wuest] "Stand immovable against his onset, solid as a rock in your faith…"
- [Amplified] "…be firm in faith (against his onset) -- rooted, established, strong, immovable and determined…"
I stand immovable against sickness in Jesus' name. I refuse to accept it. I will not quit until the devil and sickness flee from me. I am steadfast in the faith.
1 John 3:8. "He that committeth sin is of the devil, for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."
- [Amplified] "The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen and dissolve) the works the devil (has done).
- [Phillips] "Now the Son of God came to the earth with the express purpose of liquidating the devil's activities."
Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Sickness is the work of the devil. Sickness has been dissolved, broken up, annulled, undone and liquidated in my life. Jesus put sickness to an end for me.
III John 2. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
I am prospering and I am in health even as my soul prospers, because it is God's will for me. God is at work in me to do His will and pleasure. Jehova-Rapha is at work in me, healing me.
