Psalm 107:20 “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (KJV)
WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER SICKNESS!
God’s Word reveals His heart towards us concerning healing. Sickness and disease are realities that many people face, but as believers, we must never forget that God is greater than any illness, disease or physical challenge. His power is not limited by what we see, feel or experience. We serve a God who heals, restores and sustains His children.
Psalm 107:20 declares, “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” This powerful Scripture reminds us that God’s Word carries life, healing and deliverance. His Word is not empty information; it reveals His power, faithfulness and love towards us.
Through Jesus Christ, we have been given authority to stand against the works of the enemy. We do not have to surrender our hearts to fear, hopelessness or the belief that sickness has the final say. We can approach God confidently, pray for healing, speak His promises over our lives and trust Him to work in ways beyond our understanding.
However, how can we stand confidently on God’s promises if we do not know what His Word says? We cannot hold firmly to promises we have never taken time to understand. That is why studying the Scriptures is so important. As we become familiar with God’s Word, our faith grows, our thinking changes, and we become better equipped to face difficult circumstances.
God wants us to know His heart. We should not allow our circumstances to become greater in our minds than His promises. When sickness comes, we can pray with confidence, seek appropriate medical care, receive support and continue trusting God for His healing power. Seeking medical help does not mean we lack faith; God can also work through the knowledge, skills and abilities He has given medical professionals.
Remember, having authority in Christ does not mean that every illness will disappear immediately or that those who remain sick have failed in their faith. It means that sickness does not have the authority to separate us from God’s love, steal our hope or determine our eternal future in Christ.
Therefore, make God’s Word part of your daily life. Study His promises concerning healing, meditate on them, pray over your circumstances and allow His truth to strengthen your heart.
Do not let sickness have the final word over your life. God’s Word is greater, His power is unlimited, and His love never fails. Stand firm in Christ, keep believing, and trust God with your healing journey. Study and become established in God’s will to heal YOU! All glory belongs to Him! Amen.
