Gracious words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and
healing to the bones.
- Proverbs 16:24

"Frequently remind yourself that God is with you,
that He will never fail you, that you can count upon Him.
Say these words, "God is with me, helping me."
- Norman Vincent Peale 

  

Lately I've been more keenly aware that healing seems to be at the center of my conversations with many.  Just ask someone, "how are you feeling?"   The response is typically going to be "fine but..."   

 

Many of us go on and on about our pain and suffering of all sorts: physical, mental, emotional, financial and even spiritual.  When we place God at the center of our conversation instead, this is when healing can begin.

 

I have held onto pain, and it is during prayer and meditation that God reminds me that it is possible to release my pain to Him.  I am reminded that God is all powerful and can heal any ailment! 

 

If you find it impossible to sit in prayer for healing on your own, ask a friend to support you - change negative thoughts and conversation into positive Christ-centered thinking and prayerful conversation.

  

"Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint; heal me, Lord,
for my bones are in agony." - Psalm 6:2 

 

Do we really need to be holding onto suffering through pain on any level?  The other day I read some really great advice in Mornings With Jesus.  Erin Keeley Marschall reminded me of how "practice makes perfect" - what we practice we become.  We get stronger at something we put our mind and body to.  When it comes to healing, we have to practice 'surrendering' to the Lord.  This way, we stop holding onto pain.

  

If I "flip it around" and practice taking back, or holding onto internal negative thinking, then all I continue to experience is worry; fear; physical pain; and so on.  I just stay stuck and the result of that is never favorable.  Thankfully, God intervenes because He is always with me at my center, reminding me to surrender to His powerful and miraculous ability to carry my pain and to heal me.


"Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security."
- Jeremiah 33:6


God is all powerful, miraculous and loving, and He can heal us in many ways when we  go to Him.  But for God to heal us, we must put our trust and faith in Him by praying for His healing.  Read Bible verses to prepare your mind and spirit for being healed.  Then healing always comes!

 
"Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me."
- Psalm 30:2


Try it!  Surrender your pain to the Lord, whatever it is.  Then be open to receive His healing power - as if healing from Jesus is flowing through you like living water washing away all disease, pain, fear and worry.  Feel whole again with the presence of peace, freedom from pain and refreshed in body, mind and spirit.  God's healing power and grace are available to all of us at any time when we put our faith in Him and open up for the chance to be healed. 


"Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you."
- Mark 10:52 

 

A famous doctor once said, "I treat the patient; God heals him."  This booklet is a powerful reminder of this 'healing' that is all possible. 

 

Dr. Peale tells how God is the fountainhead of healing love - Jesus Christ as the administrator of the healing Grace, and the Holy Spirit as the power of God manifesting in our bodies and filling us with the life of Christ.

 

God-divine mind is everywhere; and whenever we tune in with this mind-in faith-praying, believing that we are now receiving, we get the most wonderful results. Distance makes no difference to God's power.


Think health; pray health; affirm health; practice health; believe health - as a child of God, created by the Heavenly Father and re-created by Him also.

 

"I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal"
- Jeremiah 30:17

 

Whether of the body or of the mind or of the soul, so says the Lord God Almighty who created you and the Lord Jesus Christ who heals you.

 

In His name now, receive healing!

Thank you for praying for my Mom. She got the results of her ultrasound and blood work today and everything came back good!!  The Doctor didn't find anything on the results to be concerned about. I know without a doubt that it was God who did this. He heard everyone's prayers. He is truly an awesome God.

Whatever Your will may be for me, help me to practice surrendering to You and acceptance.  I pray for renewed health and for longer life, and if such be Your will for me, I will be humbly grateful.  And for this Divine and Gracious favor, I will rejoice to serve You to the end of my days. Amen
