‭Many people who were in pain and suffering with every kind of illness were brought to Jesus for their healing—epileptics, paralytics, and those tormented by demonic powers were all set free. Everyone who was brought to Jesus was healed! Matthew 4:24 TPT

It is God’s will to heal. Healing is part of the atonement and is included in God’s redemptive plan. This is echoed in Isaiah 53:4–5 tells us that Jesus bore our sicknesses and carried our pains and Acts 10:38 says, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.”

God is not the author of sickness. Nowhere in the Bible do we ever see Jesus making anyone sick.

Sickness comes from Satan (Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8). Some may argue using the story of Miriam, who was struck with leprosy, or the story of Job. However, how God dealt with sickness under the Old Covenant is very different from how He deals with it under the New Covenant.

We must understand that we have been redeemed from the curse of the law. We now live under a better covenant, established on better promises. Under the Old Testament, blessings were conditional upon strict obedience to the law and statutes. Under the New Covenant, healing is accessed through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

We can initiate our healing by appropriating the Word and promises of God.

The manifestation of healing is not always instant. Sometimes it comes through revelation of the Word and the finished work of Jesus on the cross. At other times, it comes through deliverance from demonic oppression. The fig tree that Jesus spoke to shows us this principle clearly—what is addressed in the spirit eventually manifests in the natural.

Understanding Divine Healing

God’s method of healing is spiritual and can be lost if not guarded. God heals through the human spirit. God is Spirit, and “the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord.” God enlightens and guides us through our spirit.
“He sent His Word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction.” That Word—under the New Covenant—is Jesus.

God has given us the written Word to reveal the Living Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. Man receives healing by acting on the Word. That action is faith. “I will show you my faith by my actions.” Faith in God is acting as though God’s Word is true.

The Word of God is the most effective, natural, non-toxic medicine—guaranteed to bring healing.

What to Do When Symptoms Return

The devil is predictable. The same tactic he used with Jesus during His temptation is what he uses against us today. His goal was to make Jesus question His identity and authority.

When symptoms return, it is the devil attempting to get you to agree with him, cancel what you have already declared, and reverse what the Lord has already done. He wants you to believe in symptoms over what has already been made available through the finished work of Jesus on the cross.

1. Guard Your Heart

Proverbs 4:23 says, “Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it flow the issues of life.” The heart is the place where thoughts are formed, and those thoughts shape our bodies and lives. Health flows from the state of the heart—this is why we are instructed to guard it carefully. This is echoed in Proverbs 23:7 where it says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.” That is why renewing the mind is essential.

Guarding your heart is guarding what you believe. In Romans 12:1–2, Paul instructs us to present our bodies as living sacrifices. Our bodies submit to the spirit man. He then explains how this happens— you guard your heart by refusing to conform to the patterns of this world and by being transformed through the renewing of the mind.

Ask yourself:
What do you believe about health and healing?
What have you been taught about sickness, generational curses, or suffering?

Your health is connected to the prosperity of your soul—your mind, will, and emotions.

2. Resist the Devil

“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) This verse means exactly what it says. When the symptoms come, resist them. Do what you normally do, and do not listen to any whispers about incapacitation. Resist him in thought but also in action. As the bible says, The just shall live by faith and we walk by faith and not by sight. You need to resist and live beyond what you see.

3. Keep Building Your Faith and Eliminate Doubt

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Pray in the Spirit, building yourself up in your most holy faith. Continue meditating on the Word until it replaces what you believe and what you see. Renew your mind daily with Scripture. Practice acting on the Word above feelings, symptoms, personal experiences, or the experiences of others. The Bible is clear: a person who doubts should not expect to receive anything from the Lord (James 1).

Before sharing the declarations, it is important to build this foundation—so your beliefs are aligned with the truth, and you understand the good news about healing. When your belief is settled, you can declare God’s Word boldly, confidently, and without wavering.

Remember this: Healing is a part of the blessing of the new covenant in the blood of Jesus. And this is echoed in our theme scripture. As we see in Matthew 4, it did not matter what sickness someone had, ALL WHO CAME TO JESUS WERE HEALED, powerful! This is true for you today as you make these prayer declarations of health and healing, remember the finished work of Jesus at Calvary. These declarations, grounded in Scripture, can be a powerful part of your daily prayer as you await the manifestation of your healing.
