I want to exhort you today on 5 ways of healing. We are living in times when the understanding of healing is important. These are not normal times but the Lord is our healer. I believe with all of my heart that there are five main sources of healing and restoration:
1. By the body naturally healing itself
2. By medicine
3. By surgical procedures
4. By laughter or a merry heart
5. By faith
I believe the human body is created to be able to heal itself through proper diet, sleep and exercise. Your body can naturally recover from certain conditions and I believe it is the best form of healing. The Bible says “if the spirit of him that raise Christ from the dead abides in you, then he that raised Christ from the dead, shall quicken your mortal bodies.”
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you”. (Romans 8:11 KJV)
The next form of healing worth mentioning is by medicine or drugs. Science plays a very important role in the health care delivery system. Apostle Paul recommended that Timothy drink no longer water but wine, for his tummy sake.
“Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities”. (1 Timothy 5:23 KJV)
The Bible teaches that the prophet Isaiah recommended that fig leaves be put on King Hezekiah’s boils. The Lord can choose to heal by herbs. Even in heaven, the nations shall be healed by herbs. The scriptures are littered with clues; let’s pay attention! In the vision of Apostle John, he reveals how the leaves of a tree in heaven by the side of a river was used to heal the nations.
“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations”. (Revelation 22:2 KJV)
Don’t be tempted to rubbish medicine as a sign of weakness or unbelief. It is important to state that these medicines are neither perfect nor without side effects. Though medicines may have side effects there are many people who can’t be healed by any means except by medication. They don’t even have faith enough to be healed by the anointing.
Thirdly, remember also that a merry heart creates the same effect on your body as medicine would. Being happy and staying joyful will heal and sustain your body the same way as medicine; in fact, healing through being happy has no side effect. Maintaining a joyful attitude would boost your immune system.
[Proverbs 17:22] “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones”.
That is why anointed music was recommended for the mental health of King Saul. A merry heart does good. A merry heart keeps the body healthy.
In a sense, surgical procedure is recommended by scripture as a process of healing and wellbeing. Read this:
[Mark 9:43, 45, 47 KJV] “And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:”
The Lord by this teaching is suggesting that it is better to live a productive effective and efficient life without parts of your body; than to go through hell.
I believe that you should get well any means possible. Health is wealth, please don’t mess with it.
The final medium of healing is faith or the healing anointing. The faith of many people made them whole in the days of Christ Jesus. They were healed and made whole because they believed in Jesus Christ. We shall, therefore, be discussing healing in a more perfect way, that is healing by faith, by power, and by anointing. I believe the power of God is present to heal and to restore every sick organ in the name of Jesus Christ.
I pray that you get well by any means possible. Health is wealth, stay healthy.
Be blessed, I love you!
