Healing Scriptures

Romans 8:11 "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal (Natural, Earthly) bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." NOTE - Take a close look at this Scripture, this is talking about your body that you have now, not the one you're going to receive one day in heaven! Allow the Lord to impart His life into you by placing faith in His Word. Begin to praise Him for this promise.

2 Corinthians 4:10-11 "Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus (which was for our victory), that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh." - Bodily Health!!!

2 Peter 1:3-4 "As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." NOTE - Notice the past tense use of "has" given us all things that pertain to life!!! The blessing of health was purchased for us at the cross, it belongs to you now. Notice the importance of the Word of God, your healing must be rooted steadfastly on the Word, not on what you see or how you feel.

Matthew 18:18 "Verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." NOTE - The word "bind" means to forbid, the word "loose" means to let go or to allow to go free. Do not allow sickness, pain or disease run free in your body, bind it or forbid it to stay there any longer. Put your foot down and command it to leave in the Name of Jesus!!!

Matthew 6:9-10 "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven." NOTE - Jesus always prays the will of God, and He prays that the will of God be done here on the earth just as it is in heaven. People in heaven are not sick, so we can clearly see it is God's will that we also be free from sickness.

Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment YOU shall condemn. This is the heritage (birthright) of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me," says the LORD." NOTE - Sickness is judging you falsely, it is your birthright to live in health. You condemn it, with the Word of God, and command it to leave your body.

I John 4:4 ". . . . greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."

I John 5:4 "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." NOTE - As a believer, we are given the right to overcome that which comes against us. We do not deny the problem or circumstance exists, we do however deny the problem the right to stay!!! Faith in God is victory all of the time!!!

Deuteronomy 7:15 "And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you." NOTE - If this was a promise to God's covenant people under the Old Covenant, how much more does this benefit of health pertain to us today; as we are under the New Covenant which is based upon the precious Blood of Jesus Christ!

Romans 8:32 "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" NOTE - Surely this includes healing!!!

Mark 16:17-18 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name . . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." NOTE - Find someone who believes God's Word regarding healing and have them lay hands on you and pray for you. James 5:16 says "that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much."

Isaiah 40:31 "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint." NOTE - The word "wait" in this verse implies a positive action of hope, based on knowing that the Word of God is a true fact and that it will soon come to pass - waiting with earnest expectation!

Psalm 34:19 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all."

Jeremiah 30:17 "For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord."

Romans 8:31 "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us" NOTE - You are a winner, you are victorious through the Lord Jesus Christ. Begin to see yourself the way God sees you.

Isaiah 53:4-5 "Surely He hath borne our griefs (Lit. sicknesses) and carried our sorrows (Lit. pains) yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and by His stripes we are healed." NOTE - The last part of this verse,"by His stripes we are healed," is not talking about spiritual healing, as some have taught, but definite physical healing. God does not "heal" a human spirit, he recreates it. He does however, heal our bodies and minds. This clearly shows that your healing was paid for at the cross!

Jeremiah 33:6 "Behold, I will bring you health and cure, and I will cure you, and will reveal unto you the abundance of peace and truth."

Matthew 18:19 "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on Earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven." NOTE - The prayer of agreement is powerful - have someone agree with you for your healing!

Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." Surely this includes healing!

Isaiah 58:8 "Thy light shall break forth as the morning, and thy health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee: the glory of the Lord shall be thy rear guard."

1Thessalonians 5:23 "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless [sound, complete and intact] unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." NOTE - It is very clear in this passage that wholeness, wellness, and health is for the complete make-up of man, spiritual, mental, and physical.

1 Peter 2:24 "Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness-- by whose stripes you were healed." NOTE - Past tense "You were healed". Jesus paid it all for your total deliverance - spirit, soul and body!

Psalm 103:2-3 "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who heals all thy diseases" NOTE - Notice it doesn't say some, it says all! It also states that healing is one of the benefits that belongs to the believer along with the benefit of having our sin forgiven. See our article Two Gifts of Grace

Psalm 42:11 "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."

3 John 2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

Jeremiah 17:14 "Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise." NOTE - Once a person finally sees that healing is a finished work along with salvation, paid for at the same time with the same healing Blood, then you can get excited about this verse saying; "you did it Lord for me, then according to this verse I will agree and say I will have healing just as I have salvation, it's mine NOW!"

James 5:14-15 "Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."

John 10:10 "The thief (satan) does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I (Jesus) have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." NOTE - Here we see the desired will of the Lord for every believer, that we experience abundant life. According to this verse He came for this very purpose. We also see clearly here that it is not God who afflicts us. The word here for life is the Greek word "zoe." One commentator describes the true meaning of this word in this verse as: "the highest and best of which Christ is." In light of that meaning you can easily see the wonderful gift of life the Lord wants for each of us. Sickness and disease are truly not in His plan for us, simply because He has none to give.

Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power (authority) to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." NOTE - This is an exciting verse as Jesus said He has given us authoritive power over ALL, not some of the enemy! Command Satan to take his hands off of you. Command sickness and disease to leave you now in the Name of Jesus.

Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Make Jesus The Lord Of Your Life, Reverence Him By Closing All Doors To The Enemy, Giving Him First Place!

Proverbs 3:7-8 "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones." NOTE - The term "fear the Lord" means to reverence and worship the Lord in all things.

Exodus 15:26 "If thou will diligently harken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put (permit) none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee."

Exodus 23:25 "So you shall serve (worship) the Lord your God and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you." NOTE - True worship from the heart is a key to walking in divine health. Close every door you can to the devil.

Psalm 91:9-10 "Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling."

Malachi 4:2-3 "But unto you that fear (reverence, worship) My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. You shall trample the wicked for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this says the Lord of hosts" NOTE - I love this verse! This verse is a great promise and even tells us when it became a reality for us. "On the day that I do this" was at Calvary. Now the enemy is "ashes" under our feet and healing and protection belong to us. See Luke 10:19 also.

Know That When You Ask The Lord For Healing, It Is Already His Will And He Hears You And He Agrees. Know He Has Already Settled It In The Atonement Of The Blood Of Jesus Christ - He Says "Yes"!

Psalm 30:2 "O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me."

Psalm 107:19-20 "Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

Matthew 7:7-8 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." NOTE - The word "ask" in the Greek has the meaning of insistent asking with a knowing of what belongs to the one making the request. Presenting a solid requisition to God, knowing He longs to distribute what He has to the one in need. Look at James 1:5-8 we must ask in faith, and faith always knows, it never wishes!

I John 5:14-15 "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." NOTE - The Word of God is the will of God. If you see it in the Word of God then you can be assured that it is the will of God. The Lord is not trying to keep healing from you, He is trying to get it to you - Just Believe!

2 Corinthians 1:20 "For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us." NOTE - Notice that according to God all of His promises towards us are "YES" and amen (so be it!) or it is settled! There are no "no's" from the Lord to us when it comes to performing His Word.

The Word Of God Brings Healing!

Psalm 119:50 "This is my comfort in my affliction, for your Word has given my life."

Romans 10:17 "So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." NOTE - Faith for healing comes by hearing God's Word concerning healing. So just as you may be taking medicine two or three times a day, do the same thing with the promises in the Word of God regarding healing, and allow your faith to be built up! You'll be amazed at the change that will take place.

Proverbs 4:20-22 "My Son, attend to My words; incline thine ear unto My sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health (Lit. medicine) to all their flesh." NOTE - Here it is as plain as it can be: the taking of God's Word is life and medicine to your flesh. So just don't take your prescribed medicine alone, add the take the Word of God along with it. Prescribed medicine can heal and help some things, but God's medicine can heal all.

John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." NOTE - The Word of God is truth see John 17:17. Once you know the truth concerning healing in God's redemptive plan, then you can begin to exercise faith and expect the promises of God to manifest in you - and they will - REJOICE!!!

2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." NOTE - Does your body and or mind need correction? God's Word is just the medicine. That you may be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work. If you are sick you cannot do the work of the ministry- God wants you to be able bodied, a living example in every area of His grace and mercy and power.

John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." NOTE - God's Word is healing, it will bring health to your flesh. See Proverbs 4:22. That's why it is important to continue to go over the healing scriptures daily, therefore building your faith in the area of healing, imparting the very life of God into your cells. Fill up on God's Word!

John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."

Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." NOTE - God's Word on healing will accomplish healing in you.

Jeremiah 1:12 ". . . . I am alert and active watching over My Word to perform it." Amplified NOTE - God is looking, searching eagerly for someone to take Him at His Word so that He can perform it on their behalf.

Joshua 21:45 "Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass." NOTE - How much more sure is this promise to us since our covenant with God is based upon the shed Blood of Jesus Christ!

Healing is a good gift from God!

James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." NOTE - Healing is a wonderful gift from God, and here again is another proof that He does not change. What He did yesterday He will do again today - Praise the Lord, He is still the Healer!!!

1 Corinthians 3:21-22 "Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come--all are yours." NOTE - This says it so clear, the Lord is holding nothing back from us. Surely healing is included in the claim of "all things" and certainly is included in the word "life." Begin to praise the Lord for your healing which is a gift to you from the Lord, and the manifestation that will come as you receive the promise by faith.

Romans 11:29 "For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." NOTE - He's the giver of gifts and He doesn't take them back, they cannot be canceled out!

Philippians 2:13 "For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for his good pleasure."

We have been redeemed out from under the bondage of sickness & disease!

Galatians 3:13-14 "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessings of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ." NOTE - The curse of the law includes sickness and disease and is found in Deuteronomy 28:15-68 the first 14 verses pertain to the blessing and the rest of the chapter describes the curse! By the shed Blood of Jesus Christ we were purchased out of or out from under the curse!!!

Romans 8:2 "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." And the effects of death and the curse!

Colossians 1:13 "He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love" NOTE - Remember there is no sickness or disease in the kingdom of God! Here again is another wonderful scripture proving your birthright of healing.

Snap Out Of That Depression, Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude!

Hebrews 12:12-13 "Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed." NOTE - Real faith rejoices at the promises of God as if it were experiencing them already. Get your focus off of your problem and on to the answer which is the promises of God - His Word. REJOICE! Get happy, it's all yours!

We Can Have Confidence In Him, For God Cannot Lie!

Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)" NOTE - Remember Hebrews 6:18 says that it is impossible for God to lie!

I John 5:14-15 "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." NOTE - It's easy to know the will of God. The Word of God is the will of God! Jeremiah 1:12 says that He watches over His Word to perform it. So when you ask and believe the Word of God, you are asking and believing according to His will and you will receive just as it says!

Hebrews 10:35-36 "Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise." NOTE - Remember that the will of God is the Word of God!

Long Life Belongs To You - Don't Give up!!!

Base Your Faith On The Promises Of God.

Psalm 90:10 "The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." NOTE - Did you see it! The promise of God is that you live at least a minimum of 70 years. Speak to that mountain of death and command it to be removed. Begin to grab hold of this promise and lay claim to it and say it with your mouth. Don't settle for less than what God has promised, don't let the devil steal from you - go on and live a long life fulfilling your days and ministry on this Earth!

Job 5:26 "You shall come to the grave at a full age, as a sheaf of grain ripens in its season."

Psalm 91:16 "With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation."

Psalm 118:17 "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD." NOTE - Agree with this right now! Declare it with your voice! God has a plan for your life here on the Earth. Don't let the enemy steal it away. You can do what God says you can do, you can be what God says you can be!

Cast Down Those Thoughts and Imaginations That Don't Line Up With The Word Of God!

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" NOTE - Keep your focus on the promises of God, you have to make yourself stay focused. Don't allow your mind to stray - the manifestation of your healing is on it's way!

State Your Case To God!

Isaiah 43:25-26 "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins. Put Me in remembrance; let us contend together; state your case, that you may be acquitted." NOTE - Your case was settled when Jesus went to the cross in your behalf! If you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord then "It is finished!!!"

Your Words Are Important!

Isaiah 57:19 "I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him." NOTE - The word "fruit" here means produce. God creates what you produce from your mouth when we believe and speak the Word of God

Mark 11:22-23 "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." NOTE - What kind of mountains or obstacles do you have in your life right now? Obey Jesus and command that mountain of pain, cancer, disease, to go, now out of your body in the Name of Jesus. Jesus said you can have what you say. Begin to call your body whole, healed, well - don't stop, don't listen to your body, listen to Jesus!

Remember To Give Testimony Of Your Healing!

Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony..." NOTE - When your healing manifests itself and you recover and have the opportunity to testify to the grace of the Lord - Do it!!! The Lord wants you to give glory to Him for what He has done and it will also serve to help build faith in someone else who has a need.

2 Kings 5:1-14

5:1 Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper. 2 And the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel. She waited on Naaman's wife. 3 Then she said to her mistress, "If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy." 4 And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, "Thus and thus said the girl who is from the land of Israel."

5 Then the king of Syria said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing. 6 Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy. 7 And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, "Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks quarrel with me." 8 So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel." 9 Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha's house. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean." 11 But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, "Indeed, I said to myself, 'He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.' 12 "Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, 'Wash, and be clean'?" 14 So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. NKJV
