Healing Scriptures

More than 30 years ago, Dodie Osteen was diagnosed with liver cancer and was told she only had weeks to live. She went to the word of God (the Bible) and began to go over many of the passages that you are about to read. She did this faithfully every day. She said it was her medicine. She did not go outside or do anything else that day until she had first taken her medicine. And she did this daily, for months, and even after she was healed completely, she continued doing it. Thirty years later, she is still doing it today. She did not die, but she lived, in accordance with the word of God:

“I will not die, but live, and declare Yah’s works.” (Psalm 118:17)

You can find Dodie Osteen on YouTube and I encourage you to do so. Her story will truly inspire you.

The verses you are about to read talk about the power and greatness of God. They will challenge you. In my case, I also had a big trial one day (it was a spiritual trial, I was attacked on a spiritual level by unseen forces). I remember opening up these verses and reading them. After 30 minutes, God brought a great victory. I was delivered from these unseen spiritual forces as I patiently read through each of these Scriptures. They are really powerful. Yes, I cried as I read through many of them, because these unseen spiritual forces were lying to me. But when I read the verses, they opposed the lies. And then God spoke to me right in my spirit and said, “The lies are wrong but my word is true!” Yes, I wept. What an incredible difference 30 minutes in these Scriptures can make, especially when you are under attack by unseen spiritual forces. It happens to all of us, sometimes, but many people do not realize it. They just think they are having a “bad day.” Actually, there are powers all around us, wanting to bring us down and discourage us. That is why these verses are so incredibly important.

Take time to go over each verse, slowly, one at a time. Ask yourself, “How does this verse apply to my situation? Do I believe it?” I encourage you to choose to believe the good about that verse, because I believe that’s exactly what God wants us to do. Some of these verses are about God’s goodness. Others may challenge you to “get right with God” in a certain area. Some of them sharply will just cut through a lot of lies that you may have been believing, that have been hindering you in certain areas. You may find, and probably will find, that you are very refreshed after reading these. However, don’t rush it. I would spend 30 minutes a day reading these, especially in your time of need. Get alone. Talk to God as you read through each one. Make them personal.

Again, at least several other times, I sat down and I read these Scripture passages through completely, and I wept even as I read them, because I could feel God’s presence ministering to me. They are truly powerful. They are amazing. Dodie Osteen did not get healed immediately. She had to press in, every day. Your problem may take weeks or months of pressing in. God could also heal you in a day or in a minute. I don’t know what God is doing in your life. Only you and God do. But whatever he is doing, he is trying to build your faith. Life is not always easy, but these verses are powerful, and will definitely strengthen you in your faith.

God wants us to ask him for things, and that includes healing. There is nothing wrong with this and God performed many healings in the Bible. Also, God has not changed today. He is the same God as he always has been.

By the way, sometimes when God speaks, it can feel rather painful. I’m not talking about the pain of disease (that is very painful). I am talking about the pain that may be impressed upon your mind as you read any of the following verses. If you find a “jab” or “conviction” in your spirit, or if in any way you feel very uncomfortable with any of these verses, stop and go slowly and don’t panic. Talk to God personally about what you are feeling. Why are you feeling that way? God wants you to have a relationship with him. His goal is not simply to get you to memorize verses. He truly loves you and wants you to get to know him better.

Maybe you do not even know him at all. Tell him, “Jesus, I want to get to know you. Help me not to be afraid concerning these passages that I am about to read. Help me to understand them and receive from you as I read them over. Help me not to be afraid. Help me want to get to know you more.”

That’s the idea. He’s a good God. He did not come to kill your joy, but to make your joy complete. Jesus said,

“The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)

May God bless you as you faithfully go through these verses now.
