Hebrews 10:19-29

 

¹⁹ Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, ²¹ and having a High Priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, ²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

My thoughts: Jesus shed his blood so we could have forgiveness of sins, healing and a way to be with Father God. So that when we pray, we know that we're washed clean through what Jesus did on the cross for us and we are forgiven. But sometimes I wonder why we accept forgiveness of sins so easily., but when it comes to healing, we have to see it or feel it before we can believe it. I think this is why many people, including me, miss out on healing. It said in verse 23 to hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering. But that is not always easy to do when you wake up with pain, or see the infection, or the doctors words keep ringing through our ears. We must stand firm, when we are waiting and praying for our healing because God is faithful in keeping His promises. 

Jeremy Camp has a wonderful song on healing. This powerful video features his song, "The Healing Hand of God", set with scenes from the movie, "The Passion of The Christ".

Galatians 3:25-29 Healing Scripture

Galatians 3:25-29

²⁶ For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. ²⁷ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. ²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

My thoughts:  God made these promises to all the descendants of Abraham. Guess what, that’s us. Notice too in these few short sentences that God doesn’t categorize us like the world does. We are all one in Christ Jesus, and if we belong to Jesus, then we are a part of Abraham’s family. God promised healing to the heirs of Abraham. That includes everyone in Christ. Isn’t that awesome!

The nice thing about the word of God is that it is alive and powerful. God spoke the worlds into existence. God is still on the throne and He still answers prayers.  No matter what you are going through in life, take a moment to thank God for all He has done. You'll be amazed at what happens after that.

Galatians 3:13-14 Healing Scriptures

Galatians 3:13-14

¹³ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), ¹⁴ that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

My thoughts: Tonight I am listening to uplifting music that heals my body and causes my soul to sing with praises to Father God.  Have you ever listened to the Newsboys?  Their songs are centered around the word of God. 

 I have included a collection of YouTube videos by the Newsboys. Vitaly Eve. The song,  "Blessed by Your Name" will help you with healing.  Even though the group has gone through some changes, their message never changes.

 

Exodus 23:25-30 Healing Scriptures

Exodus 23:25-30

²⁵ And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
²⁶ There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
²⁷ I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.
²⁸ And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
²⁹ I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
³⁰ By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

My thoughts: The Lord God tells us that if we serve Him, He will bless our bread, water and we will not be sick.  I believe that we really need to rely on this verse.  Without God blessing our food and water, we will become a sick nation.  Our food is being poisoned with preservatives, BHT, insecticides, pesticides, artificial dyes, artificial sugar and GMO.  Our water is being poisoned by pollution, fluoride, fertilizer chemicals.  The more we turn away from God, the more sickness that come on us. Look at the explosion of doctors and hospitals.  They seem to be popping up on every street corner. When I was growing up, people were rarely sick. Now most of my friends are going to the doctor and taking pills.  Some take so many pills that they rattle when they walk.  The pills are man-made out of synthetic substances that cause more health problems than it cures.  We really need to return back to God before it is too late.   

Exodus 15:22-26 Healing Scritures

Exodus 15:22-26

22 Then Moses led Israel forward from the Red Sea, and they marched out to the wilderness of Shur. After traveling for three days through the wilderness without finding water, 23 they arrived at Marah, where they could not drink its water, because it was too bitter. Hence this place was called Marah. 24 As the people grumbled against Moses, saying, "What are we to drink" 25 he cried out to the Lord,   who pointed out to him a piece of wood. When he threw it into the water, the water became fresh.
It was here that God, in making statutes and ordinances for them, put them to the test. 26 He said: If you listen closely to the voice of the Lord,  your God, and do what is right in his eyes: if you heed his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will not afflict you with any of the diseases with which I afflicted the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer.

 

My thoughts:

God led Moses and the Israelites out of Egypt. They were happy to be leaving, but soon they began to complain. They had been traveling in the desert for three days and couldn’t find any water to drink. Can you imagine walking through the hot, dry desert and not finding water? So the people started complaining and Moses cried out to God for water that was good to drink. You see, they found some, but it was bitter tasting. God showed Moses a stick, and when Moses threw it into the bitter water, the water turned sweet.

God tells the people three things. Listen to God’s Voice. Do what is right. Keep His commandments, and statutes. If you do these three things, God promised to be their healer. He said that they wouldn’t be afflicted with diseases like the Egyptians.

I an relate to this.  It is so easy to go through life when things are going good, but how many of us remember or take the time to thank God for those good times.  Instead, we often wonder how long those good times will last. 

When things go wrong, it is easy to start complaining to God. Sin enters in, and we don’t think to repent right away until after we are sick. The time to do it is before. Seek God for healing. Remind Him of his promises. Keep talking with God and reminding him until healing comes. I know how easy it is to think, He’s God. He already knows. Yes, He does know, but he likes to be included in the things you want or need. Thank Him for what He has already done in your life.
