My Healing Testimony

A portion of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 4:20-23 because I have experiences with it. It talks about God's word being our medicine, remedy, healing, and cure that's what the word health is translated as. Just this week I had a toothache that was so bad I could hardly chew, I couldn't even chew a banana without pain. But, what did I do I started speaking the word (taking God's medicine). I started taking in God's word, By his stripes I am healed Isa 53:5/Jesus carried my pains Isa 53:4/Through the blood of Jesus I am redeemed from toothache Eph. 1:7. And by the next day when I got up I could chew as normal, that was not just natural that I know. But, that's what the word says in Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 1. To believe the word you have to know what the word says. 2. The word confession means-to say the same thing. 3. Salvation means-healing, deliverance, preservation, wholeness.

Notice, that you confess unto salvation so you are going to have to be saying something. Romans 3:3,4 says "Let God be true(found true) but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Well, Jesus said, "For by thy words thou shalt be justified(free), and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. The way God will be found true for you is by putting your faith in his word. Jesus said in John 8:32 that the truth would make you free. Well, God's word is the truth Jesus was referring to. John 17:17 Jesus said, "Thy word is truth." We have to learn the difference between fact and truth. What's the difference? Fact is basically something that exists, or is present in reality. Hence, these are things that can be seen visually, and these are the things that can actually be verified. It is not just something that you believe, but rather these are more or less the things that can be observed empirically, or by the senses. So, facts can be seen and heard, as well as proven by the other senses.

But truth can be described as the true state of a certain matter. So, God says whatever your flesh or your senses might be telling you that might be a fact, but what God says is the truth of the matter. That's why 1 Corinthians 5:7 says, For we walk by faith, not by sight. Walking by sight you walk by facts and walking by faith is walking by truth, God's word. I chose to walk by God's truth and not my flesh's facts. And I found God to be true and my flesh a liar. God said in Isa. 55:11 that his word shall not return to him void, but it shall accomplish that which He pleases and prosper in the thing whereto He sent it. His word returns to him when you speak it.

It is not God's will that any should perish. And I wouldn't want to end this article without giving someone the opportunity to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It's very easy just pray: Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20). He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10). I thank you for saving me, Amen

Thank you Frank. God still heals indeed, and His Word will stand in truth forever.

I had arthritis of the hips for years, which was slowly growing worse. Most days I had great difficulty walking. A therapist told me there was nothing that could be done.

I was prayed over by a sister and 3 others, and I was fully healed not long after. This was 7 years ago, and I walk normally without pain.

It’s sad to see those who do not trust God; they live without hope, without peace. But worst of all, upon their deaths they’ll be cast into a terrible place of screaming, and eternal darkness. Faith in Christ brings new life, and each day we rejoice in His grace and goodness.

In 2016, I was in a motorcycle accident.

in the hospital for 4 days on heavy morphine. Both bones in left forearm were broken and overlapping, left wrist was pulverized (Bones were basically powder), Ribs broken on both sides, eight broken toes, and I believe both feet were broken. Major road rash from shoulders to feet on both sides of body. Could not sleep without oxygen or a hospital bed in my house.

I was back at work in a month. No physical therapy for my hands required. 99% functionality returned. Still have a plate with 7 screws in my left arm, but it doesn't interfere with me at all.

During the entire incident, I *knew* I was in God's protective hands. I knew I was hurt bad, but that I was in no danger. I healed up faster than my doctors were expecting, and they are still amazed at that.

I do the same thing. Whenever a symptom appears, I load up on the Word.

Read it out loud - so it will pass through the eyes and the ears - "Let them not depart from thine eyes..." Proverbs 4:20-24

Confess it, personalize it, believe it in my heart - I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. (Mark 11:23)

Play Bible confessions throughout the night - “This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night - (Joshua 1:8)

Establishing our faith on His Word is pleasing to the Father - And without faith it is impossible to please God - (Hebrews 11:6)

I will share one testimony. I left work one day because I was experiencing some very troubling, and obviously serious symptoms. I could not afford to miss work, or go to doctor or hospital. God was literally my only option. Fear creeped in as I saw myself having to be rushed to a hospital for emergency surgery and thousands of dollars in medical debt I might never pay off. Not to mention all the evil thoughts of what would happen to me physically.

I started in the car drive home, almost in tears confessing the Word. I have a couple of books of healing verses, so I began confessing them as I paced the floor. When I had tried to lay down before, I got nauseous, so I had stayed upright and moving until I just had to lay down. I hit play on a CD with healing verses, and quoted them along with the narrator until I fell asleep. And occasionally I threw in one of my favorites - When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. (Proverbs 3:24)

I slept so well that night. I woke up without my alarm clock and felt fine. Ate a little breakfast, and felt even better. All symptoms were gone, and have never returned. Praise God!

I am not an expert on this. I have made some mistakes. But I believe if our bodies our God's Temple, He has provided the means for them to be whole.

19 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NLT

In context, this verse is about sexual sin. But one of the results of this is often sickness, so I believe its meaning can be expanded. I can't imagine Jesus desiring even a hangnail in His Body. That is why He endured those stripes and the horror of the cross. Just as the serpent lifted up in the desert provided healing to all who were bitten, so too can we look to Jesus to be healed of the old serpents attacks today.
