HEALING IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
"He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their
destructions." Psalm 107:20 KJV
The Old Testament is full of healing promises as well as examples of God healing people. Here are some healing promises: "Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span" (Exodus 23:25-26 NIV).
"I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 30:17 NIV).
"O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me" (Psalm 30:2 NKJV). And here are a few examples of healing in the Old Testament: (1) God healing Naaman of leprosy (see 2Kings 5:14-15); (2) Elijah raising the widow's son from the dead (see 1 Kings 17:17-24);
(3) God healing Hannah's infertility (see 1 Samuel 1:19-20); (4) The children of Israel being healed when bitten by poisonous snakes in the wilderness (see Numbers 21:4-9). Even beyond the healing of sickness, the Old Testament provides evidence that God cared about the sustained health of His people. Psalm 105:37 says when God delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, "He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes" (KJV). If God would do that for His children under the old covenant, think how much more He will for us who are "in Christ living under a better covenant. "[Jesus] is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises" (Hebrews 8:6 NKJV). So the word for you today is--believe God for your healing.
