“Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise.” ~Jeremiah 17:14
Jesus healed every person that came to Him. All they needed was a willing heart, and they would be cured. It didn’t matter what their ailment, affliction or handicap was. He healed the blind, the crippled, the lepers, even a woman with unstoppable bleeding. This Jesus is most certainly a God of healing!
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” ~Hebrews 13:8
Has His power lessened? Absolutely not! Is He any less able to do the same for us as He did when He walked the earth? Of course not, He is no less powerful now than He was then. God never changes! We will be able to see the same healing miracles . . . when we muster up enough faith to believe there is great power in the name of Jesus!
“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.” ~Acts 3:16 NIV
God has been healing man since the fall, ever since man first sinned. Everyone recognizes the symbol of the medical profession. But where did this symbol come from? Believe it or not, it came straight from the Bible!

“Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live. So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.” ~Numbers 21:7-9
Jesus was then, and still is the Great Physician. As in the days of Moses when the Lord told him to tell the people to look upon God for healing, so too is He still our source of healing to this very day. The rod of Moses is just one of many Biblical symbols still used today. Just about everything that exists originated with the word of God. If we want to accept the healing power of God, we must also accept the divine power of His holy word. We cannot be slack in learning the truth of His inspired book.

Satan wants us to suffer. He wants us to be in pain and agony—to suffer and die! That is his plan for every one of us, to cause us pain and use us to inflict pain onto others. When we are in pain, whether physical or emotional pain, we are far more prone to engage in his temptation to exhibit anger. Every time we feel the agonizing twinge of pain, we react in anger. The angrier we get, the more likely we will act out and cuss, the more we cuss and complain, the more Satan will double down with more pain. It’s a vicious cycle that we get caught in, I call it the devil’s pain loop.
How can we ever break out of this cycle? Turn your attention to Jesus. Call out His name when you feel any kind of pain, the very next time you feel Satan’s twinge of pain, call out the name of Jesus instead of cussing! Use your mouth to call to the power you want and need, rather than reacting in anger and literally shouting to Satan!
Only God can heal us. Only looking at Him can open up the doors of unlimited power and connect us to His merciful healing. Only absolute faith in His almighty power can restore our health as well as save our eternal souls. If we but look in His direction—in Jesus’ direction—everything suddenly changes.
“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” ~Isaiah 45:22 KJV
There is “none else”—no other name in which we are to be saved—“for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” ~Acts 4:12 KJV. We must rely solely on the word of God, allowing His original Holy Scriptures to be our only source of empowerment and faith. In the name of Jesus there is power and healing! We need to look to him for everything, especially for healing. Take hold of the same healing powers that Jesus gave to the apostles. Take hold of your healing miracle . . . in the name of Jesus!
“Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” ~Acts 3:6
