News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them. Matthew 4:24
What does healing mean? It means being able to function as you are with wholeness and wellness. In some cases, it means the complete removal of a physical affliction. In other cases it means you taste the grace of God in such wonderful ways that you are able to function with joy and gladness.
If ever a generation needed wholeness and healing, it is our generation. Broken hearts, fractured relationships and the inability to live at peace with our neighbors and ourselves has left us hurting, estranged and troubled.
Jesus Christ came to bring emotional, physical and spiritual healing. At the onset of His public ministry, Jesus made this clear. “He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,” He said. Jesus healed without considering how serious the situation was. He healed both emotional and physical sicknesses, which are often intertwined. He never considered race, position or social status when there was a need. The influential and wealthy were accorded no more attention than the destitute and poverty-stricken.
Jesus also made it clear that sickness was not the result of personal failure or sin, but part of the curse that came when Adam turned his back on God’s plan and purpose for humankind.
Human beings are a composite of the emotional, the physical and the spiritual, therefore the restoration that we need has to touch all three areas. God is still Jehovah Rapha, or the God who heals. He feels your pain and you can experience His healing touch personally.
God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.... With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7, 11-12
