Is Divine Healing and Health Scriptural? Physical Emotional Mental Be reminded that this world changed kingdoms—from God’s
government to Satan’s government. And God
delivered to Adam the catastrophic news: “Cursed is the earth because of you…” (Genesis
3:17‑19; Proverbs 26:2). Corruption, dis-ease, and death now reigned on
the earth (Romans 5:12). Adam and Eve were now under a cursed, fraudulent
government system. Satan’s kingdom could not freely provide what the human
race needed, including health & wellness. Stress (fear) came. Our health & wellness are limited because of that
impotent kingdom. Death obviously reigns and usually it’s the result of
progressive issues or dis-ease. This perverse system is what we were raised in—it is
‘normal’ for us. This mindset is deeply ingrained in each of us. It even
operates below the conscious level. And because of this cursed world
government system, fear (stress) is now ‘normal.’ But Isaiah 9:6,7 promised this about Y’shua
Messiah (Jesus the Christ): “Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.
And the government shall rest upon his shoulder… an ever expanding, peaceful, never ending,
fair, and just…kingdom.”
Divine healing and health is a definite act of God through faith in Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and the precious blood of Christ, whereby the human body is cured, healed, repaired, delivered from health issues and their power, and made whole, sound, and healthy. And God’s
government healthcare plan is already paid for; Jesus the Christ paid the price
in full! GOOD NEWS! Divine Healing and Health
is Markedly Scriptural There are
at least fourteen Hebrew and Greek words found in hundreds of Scriptures,
which plainly teach the ideas of full salvation, deliverance, preservation,
soundness, healing, health, and wholeness of body, soul, and spirit through
the gospel. These words are used many times of the body as well as of the
soul. Sometimes they are used in the same passages of both body and soul,
thus proving that they are not limited to the healing of the soul. There are
some passages where these words are used which speak of other things besides
the body being healed, such as the soul (Ps. 41:4); a vessel (Jer. 19:11);
land (2 Chron. 7:14); waters (Ezek. 47:8-11; 2 Kings 2:21-22); and
backslidings (Jer. 3:22). Please enjoy below, the many times bodily
healing is referred to in the Bible: 1. The
Hebrew word rapha means and is translated cure (Jer. 33:6); to make
whole (Job 5:18); to heal (Num. 12:13; Deut. 32:39; 2 Kings 20:5, 8; 6:2;
Isa. 19:22; 57:18-19; Jer. 17:14; 30:17; Hosea 6:1; Zech. 1:16); be healed
(Gen. 20:17; Ex. 21:19; Lev. 13:18, 37; 14:3, 48; Deut. 28:27, 35; 1 Sam.
6:3; 8:29; 9:15; 2 Chron. 22:6; 30:20; Ps. 30:2; 107:20; Isa. 6:10; 53:5;
Jer. 17:14; Ezek. 34:4; Hos. 7:1; 11:3); healeth (Ex. 15:26; Ps. 103:3;
147:3; Isa. 30:26); be thoroughly healed (Ex. 21:19); and physician (Gen.
50:2; 2 Chron. 16:12; Job 13:4; Jer. 8:22). 2. The
Hebrew marpay means and is translated healing (Jer. 14:19; Mal. 4:2)
health (Prov. 4:22; 12:18; 13:17; 16:24; Jer. 8:15); cure (Jer. 33:6); remedy
(2 Chron. 36:16; Prov. 6:15; 29:1); sound in health (Prov. 14:30); and
wholesome (Prov. 15:4). 3. The
Hebrew yeshuwah means and is translated health (Ps. 42:11;
43:5 67:2); deliverance (Ps. 18:50; 44:4); and salvation (Ps.
91:16). The whole 91st Psalm teaches perfect healing and health physically;
so the salvation of v. 16 includes the body as well as the soul. As
you may know Jesus the Christ was a Jew. And His name was this word:
Yeshuwah. 4. The
Hebrew arubah means restoring to sound health (Isa. 58:8; Jer. 8:22;
30:17; 33:6). 5. The
Hebrew chabash means healer (Isa. 3:7) and to bind up or heal (Isa.
30:26; 61:1; Ezek. 34:16; Hos. 6:1; Job 5:18; Ps. 147:3). 6. The
Hebrew word rifooth means health (Prov. 3:8). 7. The
Greek word therapeuo means and is translated heal (Matt. 8:7; 10:1, 8;
12:10; Mark 3:2, 15; Luke 4:23; 6:7; 10:9; 14:3); healed (Matt. 4:23-24;
8:16, 17; 9:35; 12:15, 22; 14:14; 15:20; 19:2; 21:14; Mark 1:34; 3:10; 6:5,
13; Luke 4:40; 5:15; 6:18; 8:43; 9:6-11; 13:14; 14:4; Acts 4:14; 5:16; 8:7;
28:9); cure (Matt. 17:16; Luke 9:1); and cured (Luke 7:21; John
5:10). 8. The
Greek iama means healing or repairing (1 Cor. 12:9, 28, 30). 9. The
Greek iaomai means and is translated heal (Matt. 13:15; Luke 4:18;
5:17; 9:2; John 4:47; 12:40); healed (Matt. 8:8,13; Mark 5:29; Luke 6:17, 19;
7:7; 8:2, 47; 17:15: 22:51; John 5:13; Acts 3:11; 28:8; Heb. 12:13; Jas.
5:16; 1 Pet. 2:24); healing (Acts 10:38); whole (Matt. 15:28; Acts 9:24). 10. The
Greek iasis means healing and cure (Luke 13:32; Acts 4:22, 30; 28:27). 11. The
Greek hugiano means sound health (3 John 2). 12. The
Greek hogies means healthy, sound and whole (Matt. 12:13; 15:31; Mark
3:5; 5:34; Luke 5:31). 13. The
Greek sodzo means to save, deliver, protect, heal, preserve, and make
whole. It is used 86 times in reference to saving the soul, but in the
following passages it refers to saving the body and healing it of illness
(Matt. 9:21-22; Mark 5:29, 34; 6:56; 10:52; Luke 8:36,48; 8:50; 17:19; Acts
4:9; 14:9). 14. The
Greek dia-sodzo means to save and to heal thoroughly, make perfectly
whole and is used of the body being healed (Matt. 14:36; Luke 7:3). By reading the 177 Scriptures above and
the many in these
studies, one can readily see that both divine healing and divine health
are taught in Scripture for all who will meet the conditions of faith
required by the gospel, as Jesus has already paid the price for healing; paid
in full (Is. 53; Matt. 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24).
Be reminded that active faith gives the Kingdom of God the legal and just
access into this cursed world impotent government system (Mark 11:24; 1 Peter
1:5; Ephesians 2:8; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11;
James 1:6-7; 2:17-26).
Return to Healing and
Health Main Page What Divine
Healing and Health is Not It is not healing and health by natural remedies, imagination, will power, personal magnetism, metaphysics, demonology, spiritualism, immunity from death, presumption, insubordination to God's will, mind over matter, denial of the plain facts of sin, health issues, and disease, or natural healing by inherent laws and creative powers in man's body. The plan of God is to end evil and
suffering forever (Exodus 34:6-7; Matthew 13:37-43; I Corinthians 15:24-28;
Galatians 6:7-8; 1 Timothy 1:5; Revelation 21-22). The ultimate purpose of
God in all His present dealings with man is to bring him back to the place
where he was before the fall (beloved fellowship) and purge him of all possibility
of failing in the future. “The object and purpose of our instruction and
charge is that all believers would be filled with love
that comes from a pure heart, and a clear conscience, and genuine
trust (faith).” —1 Timothy 1:5 Thank you Finis Jennings Dake, Dake
