Hope for Healing, Faith for Living Podcast

In our last podcast, we went over the first three pillars of healing. Today we cover the last two!

First is 1 Peter 2:24.

Let’s start with verse 21. Here Peter is telling other believers we are to follow the example Jesus lived out for us.

21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. 23 When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

Here, Peter talks about what Jesus went through for us and then he make it clear what he did for us. He bore our sins so that we are set free from sin to live to righteousness and he also includes Jesus providing bodily healing.

James 5

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

What save? The prayer of faith. Who heals? Jesus. Oil is used but don’t focus on the oil. It’s one method where we can use our faith. By faith, we can take hold of what Jesus has already provided for us.

Continue to read and meditate on these scriptures. Let the Word dwell in your heart until you have a steadfast faith that God is the Lord our Healer, Jesus has provided healing and healing is God’s will for your life.
