The following information on God's healing power has been prepared by our
healing minister. May God bless you as you read it.
INTRODUCTION
It is and it always has been God’s will to heal! You are God’s most precious creation and he gave
His Son for you. He carefully watches over you and holds you in His loving arms. Can a mother forget the
baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I
will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands...(Isaiah 49:15-16).
God desires that you have the best of everything. You are supposed to live your life to the fullest.
Jesus said: ...I have come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
(John 10:10 KJV)
One component of this abundant life Jesus died to give you is freedom from sickness. How can you
experience God’s best if you have sickness in your body? Sickness will rob you of your joy, peace,
happiness, rest and money. If you are a slave to sickness and disease, reclaim your freedom and break the
chains that hold you captive.
The only way to free yourselves from the shackles of sickness and disease is to know what the Bible
clearly teaches about healing. I believe the scriptures clearly show that healing is for all people and God
is always willing to heal.
REDEMPTION INCLUDES HEALING
Spiritual and physical deliverance from sin and sickness is included in your redemption.
Through the shed blood of Christ for the remission of sins and the stripes Jesus bore on His back, we received
freedom for our spirit, soul and body. Jesus is our redeemer and healer.
What is the meaning of redemption?
The Hebrew word for redeemer is ga’al.
Ga’al means to redeem, deliver, act as a kinsman. This
word is usually associated with persons or property sold for a debt and it was the responsibility of a nearest
relative, usually an uncle, brother or some other blood relative from the individuals family to make redemption
for the persons or property.
Jesus fulfills the role of redeemer
In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom
and through whom everything exist, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed
to call them brothers. He says, I will declare your name to my brothers; in the presence of the
congregation I will sing your praises. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again he says here
I am, and the children God has given me. Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in
their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death — that is, the
devil — and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is
not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like his brothers
in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and
that he make atonement for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 2:10-17
