Our opening scripture is very insightful. It unveils profound principles that stand as the key to unlock amazing possibilities. Divine healing is one of the benefits of God’s covenant with His people. It is a demonstration of His love, mercy, and power, affirming His role as Jehovah Rapha—the Lord who heals. His promises of health and wholeness are not limited by time or circumstance but are available to all who believe.

Through the redeeming works of Jesus Christ, healing is part of the believer's inheritance. Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) says, "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed." This assurance demonstrates that God’s desire is for His children to live in divine health. To experience this, believers must align themselves with key principles that activate and sustain divine healing.

1. FAITH IN GOD’S WORD
Faith is the cornerstone of receiving divine healing. Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) reminds us, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." When faith is active, it creates an atmosphere where miracles can occur. Like the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25-34), whose faith drew healing power from Jesus, believers today must approach God with unwavering belief in His ability to heal.

2. PROCLAIM GOD’S WORDS
Your response to God’s word is where the blessing is. Hebrews 13:5-6 (ESV) says “…for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Notice it doesn’t say, “He hath said, so that you might say,” NO! You are to boldly affirm His word.

Boldly proclaim God’s Word over your life, reinforce His promises and align your heart with His will. Say, "By His stripes, I am healed" (Isaiah 53:5). Consistently speaking God’s Words reinforces your trust in Him and paves the way for healing.

3. PRAYER
James 5:14(ESV) says, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” Prayer is a direct channel to God, inviting Him to intervene in your situation.

Consistent communion with God through prayer fosters intimacy, allowing you to hear His guidance and receive His peace. Our Lord Jesus healed through prayer, demonstrating the power of prayer. Persistent prayer strengthens your connection to God and invites His healing power into your life. Relate to the article ‘EFFECTIVENESS OF PRAYER’ in the news category to know more about how to pray effectively.

Divine healing is a gift from God, available to all who believe and follow His principles. Through faith, proclaiming God’s Words, and fervent prayer, you can access the power of God to restore health and wholeness. Remember, Jesus said in John 10:10 (ESV), "…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have life and have it more abundantly." Divine healing is part of the abundant life He promised. Follow these principles and experience the fullness of divine healing.
