“And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick” (Matthew 8:14-16).
One touch from God brings total and complete healing. Whether the need is physical, emotional, or psychological, His presence casts out sickness and sin.

“But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves” (Malachi 4:2, NIV).
True healing comes directly from God, who honors our faith in His Word and always keeps His promises. Regardless of how broken or sick we are when we come to Him, when He heals us, we’re even better than we were before.

“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:1, 2).
Our acceptance by faith in what God’s Word says makes us righteous in His eyes; the knowledge that we have right-standing with Him gives us a peace the world doesn’t have. The hope that we have is filled with joy over the finished works of Jesus.

“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones” (Proverbs 17:22).
There’s a definite connection between the spiritual condition of our hearts and the physical condition of our bodies. God’s Word is life; it brings healing, wholeness, and joy on many different levels. Jesus is the Great Physician; those who internalize what He says demonstrate true wisdom.

“For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it” (Romans 8:24, 25).
We can place our hope in Jesus with complete certainty and no doubt; just because we can’t see it with our physical eyes doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Hoping and believing in what we don’t see is the essence of faith, which justifies us.

“And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward. But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea” (Exodus 14:15, 16).
When Moses was leading the people through the wilderness and he prayed to God for guidance, God revealed to him that he needed to speak to the situation from a position of authority. God has empowered those who believe in His promises to speak to any problems or situations that arise, and command them to step aside. When we move forward in faith despite what we see, miracles happen.
