There is so much sickness on this earth! So many people are ill. Sickness comes in many forms: physical illness, emotional issues, addictions, basically anything that stops us living a healthy life.
Perhaps you are ill in some way.
In the above verse God is saying he is our healer. He wants us to be healthy! His intention for us is not that we live in pain or torment or subservient to some kind of addiction. His people are meant to be healthy! This verse says that sickness is a punishment for God's enemies, but not for his children.
So why are we sick?
We live in a fallen world, sin is rampant. Each of us have sinned, so we are a part of this. Yet God has chosen to call us out of this mess, to become his children. His children are whole, healthy. They are not intended to suffer sickness.
God reaches out to us and says, "I am the Lord that heals you!"
What God has said he will perform. "God is not a man, that he should lie" -Numbers 23:19
So it remains for us to trust that God will follow through on what he has said. His intention for us is that we live in health. We are his special children.
We can be sure that he will respond when we ask him for the blessing of health, no matter if it be from cancer, hepatitis, diseases that affect our nerves, or other non-health issues such as depression, anxiety or anger. Perhaps we are tormented by demonic issues, God is bigger that that. He says, "I am your healer." Trust him!
"Lord thank you that you have called me into a relationship with you! I am your child. You don't want me to continue living with this illness. I ask you to do a miracle in my life and that you would remove this affliction! In Jesus name I speak health to my spirit soul and body, and I command anything not of you, Jesus, to leave. I trust you God that you are faithful to perform your word. Thank you. In Jesus name, amen"
