God’s Medicine Chest

Proverbs 4:20-22 says, “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they [my words] are life unto those that find them and health/medicine to all their flesh.”

In the article entitled “The Word As Medicine,” we talked about God’s Word being one of the means He uses to heal us. It is His medicine, and as we take it into our system, we can be assured that it will do what He promised: produce health and life in our whole being. There are hundreds of Scriptures that contain God’s life and health in them, but the following are some of the most powerful that I have used in my own experience and have known to be effective in other believers’ lives as well.

I have listed many of them categorically, under the headings of some of the most common diseases and problems. However, please do not feel that you need to use only those listed in each category. Most of these Scriptures apply to numerous problems, and, of course, some (especially those listed in the “General” category) can be applied to all healing needs.

Choose the ones that relate to your situation, or use them all. Read them daily, or many times a day, depending on how you feel led in your own spirit. You might also ask the Lord to show you other verses from His Word that will help you particularly. Don’t forget to put your own name in them, or the name of your loved one. It’s also very helpful to read them aloud.

  1. Thank you for putting these Scriptures together Sandra! It’s such a blessing to have them all in one place to read, and even by category for type of affliction. I’ve read them here before, but clicked away to visit other links you have and forgot to leave a comment. I just wanted to let you know I appreciate you, and that I’m blessed by the content of your blogs.

    1. I’m glad they are a help. Please feel free to print them out if you want to. In fact, you can print out the whole healing book if it will be helpful to you. I’m working on an updated edition of the book that will have more scriptures, but I’m not sure when that will be done.

      1. Also, I think this will be of interest to you: I’m sure you know about the “Healing From Jesus” Blog here on WordPress, but I also created one on Blogger. That one went up one month ago yesterday, and it has already had 99 hits — from 7 different countries. I did not advertise that blog anywhere or try to interact from it. I had tried that on a couple other “Blogger” blogs, but people on Blogger just don’t seem to want to interact. Anyway, I had not done so from the “Healing From Jesus” site, but even so, the Lord has brought all those people to the site to get help. I’m thrilled that it is able to reach so many people and to know that it is really the Lord’s doing.
