Healing Verses of the Bible

1. Our God is a Merciful God

1. “… But You are God, ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abundant in kindness …” (Nehemiah 9:17)

2. “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.” (Psalm 103:8)

3. “But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.” (Psalm 86:15)

4. “Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness …” (Joel 2:13)

5. “The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works.” (Psalm 145:8)

6. “The Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting …” (Psalm 100:5)

7. “For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him … But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him.” (Psalm 103:11,17)

2. God the Father Does Have the Power to Heal You

1. “For with God nothing will be impossible.” (Luke 1:37)

2. But He said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” (Luke 18:27)

3. “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” (Ephesians 3:20)

The Bible tells us that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS– which means He loves each person He has ever created equally and unconditionally. This tells us that if both God and Jesus were healing people back in both the OT and NT – then there is no reason we cannot approach Him for our own personal healing when we may need one in this day and age.

If God the Father is the same today as He was yesterday – and if He was healing people back in the past in the Old Testament days – then this means that He can and will continue to heal today. This is why divine healing is still for everyone in this day and age. The gift of healing did not stop after the first set of apostles left the scene. Here is the verse:

“For I am the Lord, I do not change …” (Malachi 3:6)

“And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:29)

1. “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” (Exodus 15:26)

2. “And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.” (Deuteronomy 7:15)

3. “So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.” (Exodus 23:25)

4. “He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (Psalm 107:20)

5. “He also brought them out with silver and gold, and there was none feeble among His tribes.” (Psalm 105:37)

6. “Bless the Lord, O my, soul ,and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases …” (Psalm 103:2)

7. “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He guards all his bones; not one of them is broken.” (Psalm 34:19)

8. “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” says the Lord. (Jeremiah 30:17)

9. “O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You have healed me.” (Psalm 30:2)

10. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds … Great is our Lord, and mighty in power …” (Psalm 147:3)

11. “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)

12. “But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” (Psalm 34:10)

13. “For the Lord is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.” (Psalm 84:11)

14. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

All of the above verses are definitely showing us how active God really was in taking care of the Jewish people back in the Old Testament. Notice some of the specific wording:

1. Put none of these diseases on you

2. Take away from you all sickness

3. Sent His word and healed them

4. There was none feeble among His tribes

5. Heals all your diseases

6. Guards all his bones – not one of them is broken

7. Restore health to you and heal you of your wounds

8. Heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds

Notice in three of these verses God is giving perfect health to all of them when He specifically says that “none“ of the diseases shall fall on them, that there was “none feeble among the tribes” and that He would take away “all” sickness from within their midst!

Again, if God the Father did this for the Jewish people back in the Old Testament, and we have a new and better covenant through His Son Jesus Christ in the New Testament – then we all should have access to the same blessings that the Jewish people had – and one of the those blessings was having divine health and divine healing when needed!

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)

1. Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee … “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.

For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
