    10 Bible Verses on Healing (with Commentary)

    Posted on March 14, 2021 by Edith Ohaja

    The primary channel through which God heals is His word. He speaks and darkness turns to light, sickness turns to health, the damaged is repaired, the lost restored. It was through the same word that God created all things (Genesis 1). We can, therefore, release the same creative power when we pray God’s word over our minds and bodies. This requires studying and meditating upon God’s word so that the Spirit of God can quicken the right scriptures in our heart to pray with and undo whatever evil is plaguing us.

    Apostle Paul admonished that each person should be fully convinced in his mind of the stance he or she wants to take on disputable matters because anything not done from faith is sin (vs. 5 & 23). He added that we should not judge one another on the bases of such matters.
