What to Do For Sickness?

Sickness is part of this life. Sometimes because of our own mistreatment of our
bodies, sometimes, because of our environment and sometimes just because the
body fails to work like it was supposed to.

There has been great advancements in medicine and God can use that to heal you.
God can also supernaturally. God is the great healer and it should always be the
first thing we do when we get sick. Lifted up to the lord first. The Bible tells us to
pray for whatever we need, and that surely includes freedom from sickness and pain.

Sometimes healing does not occur, even to the most loving, God-centered
people. Why not? We don’t really know, however, the Bible does promise us
that if we are not healed in this life, there is something greater awaiting us
afterward.

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved,
For You are my praise. Jeremiah 17:14 (NKJV)

For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds,' says the
LORD, 'Because they called you an outcast saying: "This is Zion; No one
seeks her." ' Jeremiah 30:17 (NKJV)

And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power o
ver unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and
all kinds of disease. Matthew 10:1 (NKJV)

And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in
all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 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. But
one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He
wills. 1 Corinthians 12:6-11 (NKJV)

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in
the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of
healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:27-28 (NKJV)

Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And
He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest
upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in
distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:8-10 (NKJV)

For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is
from heaven, if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. For we who are in this tent groan, being
burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
2 Corinthians 5:1-4 (NKJV)

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed
day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:16 (NKJV)
