At one time, thousands of years ago, in the Garden of Eden, people
never got sick. Since then, however, we have turned from
God and have been born sinners ever since. Along with sin came a
lot of consequences.
"By
the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the
ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you
will return." Genesis 3:19
Women
must go through pain in childbirth, men must work the ground to
eat, and everyone eventually dies. Each of these consequences
will last for the life of the human race, but sickness is not one of
them. Even though sickness entered the world when Adam fell, God
has still given us a way to live without it.

In Exodus 15:26 God is revealed as
Jehovah-Rophe, or God My Healer.
-
In Isaiah 53:5 it is prophesied that by Jesus'
wounds we are healed.
-
In Luke 4 Jesus proclaims his fulfillment of
prophecy and demonstrates the power of God to heal the sick.
-
In Acts 20:10 Paul raises a man from the dead,
many years after Jesus had ascended to heaven.
Our God is The Healer, He is the Great
Physician. God has healed ever since mankind first needed
healing and He has not stopped since. God does not need to use a
doctor to heal, nor does He need to use medicine. The Holy
Spirit of God can restore your body right where you are simply by
coming near you.
"And the prayer offered in
faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him
up." James 5:15
Wherever you are pray to God for
your healing. Pray with the understanding that the blood of
Jesus has covered your sins and given you the right to receive God's
power.
If you do these things you will be healed.
