Prayer and healing in the bible

Jehovah Rapha: The Lord, Our Healer. There are dozens of Bible verses about healing Scriptures and I have come to take solace in these over the years as my loved ones and I have battle health conditions. They have brought up comfort, hope and have built up our most holy faith to believe our Lord for a miracle!

With that said, there is a practical application to all of this. The Lord has gifted your body with the remarkable ability to heal itself under the right conditions. You need to feed it wholesome food, drink clean water and breathe pure air. Sadly, finding these things is all but impossible in our fallen world as toxic chemicals have overtaken our soil and atmosphere. In spite of our efforts (and great expense) to purchase essential products for a healthy home, we still get sick and God is here to bless you with His healing touch when you need it. The healing Scripture below testifies to that!

Cry out to Him and seek this precious gift today! Come before His throne with confidence and courage.

Scriptures for Healing – 40 Bible Verses to Read

Before I share my 40 favorite Bible verses about healing Scriptures, we need to put what God’s Word says about health into context with these two scripture passages.

  1. “Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, ‘See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.’” John 5:14
  2. “Faith without works is useless.” James 2:20

Essentially, once God does His part, we must do our part! He heals us and we maintain the healing!

Personally, I don’t view sickness as a sin issue. From what I can in the Scripture, neither does Jesus. Otherwise, why would He say this in John 9:3?

  • “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.”

The point that I think our Lord is trying to make is that, when we sin, we put ourselves in harm’s way. Reckless behavior, misuse of medicines and deliberate poor food choices (i.e. all “sins”) can and oftentimes damages our bodies and will make us more susceptible to get sick.

This is why it’s so crucial to put faith to our deeds and put deeds to our faith!

My hope and prayer is that these 40 Bible verses about healing Scriptures inspire, encourage and build up your most holy faith.  As you seek God for healing, I suggest you do your best to learn how to be healthy and make the proper abundant life-giving choices.

Using natural therapies God gave us like essential oils can help and I wrote a report about the 10 most healing that you can find here.

Also, at the end of this article, I list my favorite products and resources for you to help you on your journey. 

Shalom!

Which of these 40 Bible verses about healing Scriptures speaks to your heart?

Are there any Bible verses about healing Scriptures that you’d like to add?

The Bible Verses About Healing Scriptures Challenge

As I read, and reread Bible Verses About Healing Scriptures, I am often filled with a sense of reassurance to see how the timeless principles within its pages ring true in my life.

One lesson in particular, that we reap what we sow, has all but defined my Biblical health experience and my favorite Bible verses about healing Scriptures conveys this profoundly. In its simplest form, we reap sickness because of what was sow into our bodies. Along our healing journey, we are all confronted by the same fork in the road and, we all have a choice.

No amount of prayer, no amount of meditation, and no amount of counseling can turn things around until we are willing to change. Yes, these 40 Bible Verses About Healing Scriptures are absolutely abundant life giving, but we need to also stop doing the things that are causing the damage in the first place, which then gives our bodies an opportunity to heal. At the same time, we need to learn how to take care of ourselves and regain control of our health.

Can you relate?

  • Have you pledged to regaining control of your health in a way that honors your body as the temple that it truly is?
  • Have you determined to feed your temple nutritious foods and avoid toxins that cause disease?
  • Have you committed to stop running to the pharmacy for every little thing, and have you embraced the power of using natural therapies like essential oils instead?
  • Are you committed to meditating and proclaiming these 40 Bible Verses About Healing Scriptures?

Like me, you have a choice which path you want to follow. And, now that you have learned what the Bible says about health, I trust that you will walk with me on the path toward the abundant life!

Practical Steps to Health

Now that we’ve meditated on 40 Bible verses about healing Scriptures, let’s switch gears a little and focus on giving your home a “make over” to support a new healthy lifestyle to maintain your healing!

Usually, you’ll quickly discover that you need to replace many of the staple pantry items considered unsafe like white, bleached sugar and flour. Then you’ll notice that you need new kitchen gadgets to prepare all those fresh ingredients and DIY projects on your to-do list. After you’ve made over the kitchen, you start to think about other essential products for a healthy home like body care, household cleaners, and all kinds of stuff!

Rest assured that this is completely normal, so don’t get stressed out about the transition. Take it all in baby-steps, focusing on the lowest hanging fruit. Like first trying to memorize Bible verses about healing Scriptures, as you do what’s easiest to implement at first, you’ll find that you can master the basics quite quickly. Then, next think you know, you’re picking fruit on top of the tree that you once thought was impossible to do!

This, my friend, is all part of the adventure, and our prayer is that by sharing our experience and this list of our favorite products, you’ll be inspired and encouraged on your own journey.

Must-Have Items to Stay Healthy

prayer and healing in the bible

You can technically live without reading your favorite Bible verses about healing Scriptures, but why would you want to!?!

Food on the hand is not negotiable.

Humans can live without food for a few weeks, without water for a few days and without air for just a few minutes. It’s important to put things into perspective to see how absolutely vital these are to our existence, and it should motivate us to provide our bodies with the very best of what’s available to us within our individual budgets. Because of this, we have found that these items are an absolute MUST if you want to minimize toxins, reduce your risk of developing disease and maintain a strong healthy profile:

  1. Air Purifier – Far too many people take for granted that every breath we take will either give us Abundant Life-giving gasses like nitrogen and oxygen, or fill our lungs with pollutants. We recommend the AIR Doctor – the first affordable air PURIFIER that not only removes almost 100% of particles but also the vast majority of toxic ozone, volatile organic chemicals and gases. AIR Doctor is giving our tribe a 50% discount. Click HERE to check it out!

Supplements and Natural Remedies

prayer and healing in the bible

Like of one my favorite Bible verses about healing Scriptures says, “The leaves of the trees are the healing of the nations,” and we have personally experienced wonderful results when using these natural remedies and supplements to keep our family healthy and strong! There are few products I recommend in this category as we’ve found most supplements to be useless – riddled with harmful fillers and manufactured in such a way that your body cannot properly absorb the ingredients. Essentially, most people pee and poop their money away because they’re taking supplements that are undigested!

What do these healing scriptures teach us?

From the Bible verses about healing, we can see that not only has God healed in the past as described in the Scriptures, but that he promises to heal us in specific circumstances and situations in the here and now.

Jesus healed a lot of people with a lot of ailments and afflictions. Then his apostles and followers did the same. There is still people being healed today through prayer and faith in God.

What we can learn from the above Bible quotes about healing is that God loves us and doesn’t want us to suffer affliction, and that he wants to heal us when it is going to be beneficial to us and help us live a Christian life in service to God.

Though, having said that, it is important to understand that God may not heal ailments in situations where he is protecting us from falling into sin or from other things we don’t understand.
