My sister is scheduled for double heart valve replacement surgery, she is very frightened and she is also losing hope and feels that God never helps her. This is a very risky surgery. The doctors are not giving any assurance of recovery after the surgery. We just don't know what to do. Please pray
According to the Bible how do your get healed?
First we need to know if it's God's will for you to be healed.
God says very plainly that He wants you to be healthy and happy.
3 John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
And so God has made provisions in His Word to keep you healthy .
Sickness sometimes is cured instantly, but most of the time it occurs when we
follow God's instructions and our body heals itself naturally.
So let's see who might be responsible for your sickness:
Luke 13:16
And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom
Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Some times sickness comes from satan and sometimes it comes from our bad habits like (drinking, smoking, overeating, etc.)
God gives you instructions in the Bible on what to avoid in your life so you will stay healthy and also instructions on how to heal your sickness when it occurs and bring you back to a healthy state.
First God gives you instructions that will help your body stay healthy:
Proverbs 17:22 tells us, "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones." Stay happy and your body will begin to heal itself/ Keep anger, fear and frustration out of your thoughts they can cause health problems.
Philippians 4:6-7 6 Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
A peaceful mind helps your body stay healthy.
You also have a spirit and God gives you scriptures to help your spirit stay strong.
Romans 10:17 - So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Your spirit controls everything in your body and faith is the power it needs to help heal your body Reading scriptures on healing causes faith to grow in your spirit and that gives your spirit more power to heal you.
Here are some scriptures to stand on for your healing:
James 5:14-1614 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the
prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
Ps.37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Is.53:5
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and
by His stripes we are healed.
PSALM 107:20 HE SENT HIS WORD AND
HEALED THEM, AND DELIVERED THEM FROM THEIR DESTRUCTIONS.
Ps.103:3-5
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who
heals all your diseases,
Isaiah 40:31 - But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Joining other people in prayer gives your prayer more power:
God say that if two people on earth agree about anything they ask He will do it.
He puts it this way:
Matthew 18:19
19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
I will be praying in agreement with all of your prayers from now on.
John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed
