We live in a world that is marred by sin, which means that our bodies eventually wear out and we will eventually face death. Death will come to all of us, but prior to death we experience weakness in our physical bodies, the decay that is continually working in us. Whether cancer or a cold, diabetes or a bone break, we all face some sort of sickness in our physical bodies.
The Bible says that when we are sick, we can come boldly to the throne of God, asking for grace and mercy in our time of need. Though our bodies don’t feel well, God still rules over our circumstances and Jesus still has the power and authority to heal us, not to mention His willingness and ability to do so.
Approach Jesus with faith and expectancy, believing that He still heals the sick, sets us free, and exercises dominion over our physical bodies. We will all eventually die, but that doesn’t mean that Jesus isn’t interested in healing your body today. Confidently call out to Him to bring healing into our life.
Faith is not believing God can do something. Faith is not hoping he will do something. Faith is thanking God in advance.
