God can heal any sickness and disease .Give him a chance

By: Shaila Touchton | April 12, 2017 The Lord is powerful; He is Lord of all things, including disease. All of Scripture makes clear what Psalm 103:19 affirms: “The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.” That declaration calls forth the paean of verses 20-22: “Praise the Lord, O my soul.” The Lord is loving toward His people. “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.” His love is expressed in healing His people from sins. Isaiah 53:5 looks forward to Jesus: “But he was pierced for our transgressions … and by his wounds we are healed.” That “healing” is from sin and its effects. The Lord “heals all your diseases.” How do we know that to be true? Scripture says so. On the face of it, God seems to be a panacea, a remedy that cures all diseases. (Panacea was the Greek goddess of healing, daughter of Aesclepius—god of medicine, and sister of Hygieia—goddess of disease prevention). “Disease” may refer to all adversities, afflictions. But the focus is on illness. In biblical times this would have included leprosy, plagues, severe bodily weakness and failure, and other mysterious diseases. Trust the Lord. Do not rely on your limited understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Remember, however hard it may be, that “God is love.” “Jesus loves me, this I know … .” The cross is the pledge of His love. He is indeed a God of power and of love, who can and does work all things in accord with His will. Even in the midst of our suffering, believe it or not, the Lord is in control. Job told his wife, in effect, “When we receive nice, pleasant things, we say they came from the Lord. Shouldn’t we also believe that God is in control when things are not going well?” Paul wrote to the Philippians (1:29-30) that the God who so graciously grants us faith, also grants suffering; He is a God of grace, even in our affliction. When you cannot understand you can still trust. Paul said about difficulties he was facing: I am “perplexed, but not in despair.” That’s when and where trust works. But in all things we must praise the Lord! This may appear to be foolish, useless advice. And it may seem impossible. It may have been difficult for David. He had apparently experienced pain and sickness before, perhaps many times. In Psalm 103, he does not say, “Praise the Lord! He has kept me without any suffering, without any disease.” He says, “The Lord has healed all my diseases Category: Healing and Deliverance Tags: God can heal any sickness and disease Give him a chance
