God loves you. And because He loves you,
He wants the best for your life—restoration and wholeness. That’s why Jesus
Christ willingly laid down His life, died, and rose again. His sacrifice has
provided the way for us to find and experience the healing and restoration we
need.
God has a plan for your life, and He
wants to heal you everywhere you hurt. John 10:10 says that Jesus came to give
us abundant life, and part of that abundant life is making sure
you are healthy and whole—physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
But the truth is you cannot “catch”
health like you can disease. For example, if you're around somebody who has a
cold, you don't have to do anything to catch it. You can get it by just by
being around them because that's the nature of sickness and disease. But you
can be around a healthy person and you won’t catch their health. You have to choose health.
Choose
Life
One of the ways we can choose life is
through prayer and by speaking His truth over our lives. I want to help you do
that. You can speak scriptures and confessions over your life to strengthen
your faith in God for the healing and wholeness you need.
Think about it like this: If I have a
headache, I take an aspirin to get relief from it. I have to swallow the pill
for it to work. If I put it on top of my head, it won’t do anything for me.
God’s Word is medicine for our spirit, soul and body, and the way we experience
its power is by speaking it out loud, praying it to God, meditating on it, and
believing it. When you speak His Word over your life, it releases that power
into your life. It won’t work for us if we just have a Bible and leave it on
the shelf. We have to use it.
God wants to make you whole, and what
He’s asking you to do is believe what His Word says more than you believe what
you think or how you feel. Keep speaking His Word over your circumstances and
in His timing, He’ll complete the good work
He’s begun in you!
Applying
the Medicine of God’s Word
Depending on your situation, one or more
scriptures or confessions may apply to a need you are facing right now. Take
time to read them, meditate on them, pray them, and memorize the verses that
will encourage you to trust God for the healing you need. Or write them down on
a note card and carry them with you so you have them on hand wherever you are,
whenever you need them.
You can search out the scriptures you need
in the Bible and make them your confession. As you do, you’ll be amazed at how
God’s Word will give you more of the abundant life you can have in Christ, and
you’ll experience the wholeness and healing it brings.
