Healing

Purposes for Divine Healing

Healing Garden 115The late English Bible teacher Smith Wigglesworth used to tell this story: Two women on the train with him—a mother and daughter—were very sick, so Wigglesworth said to them, “Look, I've something in the bag that will cure every case in the world. It has never been known to fail.”

The mother and daughter were quite interested, so the minister went on to tell them about his “remedy.” When they finally asked for a dose, he opened the bag, took out his Bible, and read them the verse that says, “I am the Lord that healeth thee” (Exodus 15:26).

What a wonderful way to share how the Bible is filled with promises and accounts regarding health and healing for His children!

There is A Balm in Gilead

God is pleased when we stand on the Rock and believe that He is unchangeable. If you will dare to believe God, you can defy all the powers of evil. There have been times in my experience when I have dared to believe Him and have had the most remarkable experiences.

One day I was traveling in a railway coach, and there were two people in the coach who were very sick, a mother and her daughter. I said to them, “Look, I’ve something in the bag that will cure every case in the world. It has never been known to fail.”

They became very much interested, and I went on to tell them more and more about this remedy that had never failed to remove disease and sickness. At last they summoned up the courage to ask for a dose. So I opened my bag, took out my Bible and read them the verse that says, “I am the Lord who heals you” (Exod. 15:26).

Healing: A Heavenly Grace

heavenly graceBy Andrew Murray

When the psalmist called upon all that was within him to bless the Lord, he cried, "Bless the Lord,... who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases" (Ps. 103:2-3). When Isaiah foretold the deliverance of his people, he added, "The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity" (Isa. 33:24).

This prediction was accomplished beyond all anticipation when Jesus the Redeemer came down to this earth. How numerous were the healings brought about by Him who had come to establish on earth the kingdom of heaven!

By His own acts and afterward by the commands that He left for His disciples, He showed us clearly that the preaching of the Gospel and the healing of the sick went together in the salvation that He came to bring.
