THE WAY OF HEALTH

THE WAY OF HEALING

“Come, let us return to the Lord; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down, and he will bind us up. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him. Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.” Hosea 6:1‭-‬3 ESV

GOOD DAY: My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20‭-‬22 ESV

I was meditating on healing as I have been afflicted much in that area. I want to know how to be healed by God with or without medicine. I notice that there are people who die of disease in spite of treatment from the best hospitals and doctors while some people recover from serious illnesses with no or minimal medical treatment. What does God say about healing? How can I consciously walk in health? I was given an understanding of Hosea 6:1-3. First, the WORD is the LORD. John 1:1 (emphasis mine) if we replace the Lord with the Word, Hosea 6:1 reads let us return to the Word for he has torn us that he may heal us. The word of our mouth tears or heals us.

The words that fly around more and that we all speak are words of disease. Everywhere you read about one disease or another in the guise of science finding solutions to them. The atmosphere is laden with talks of disease. Now return to the word of God. If a person can find and surround himself with the word of health from God, (Proverbs 4:20-22) then that will be life to the person and healing to all his flesh. You can create a bubble of God's word around you. Find the word of God, pay attention to it, don't let it escape from your sight and keep it in your heart and it will be healing to your flesh.

There are more scriptures linking the word and health, do a research of word and health from scriptures. Instead of studying disease and its symptoms from Google and other search engines, study the scriptures for the word of healing. Make your healthy lifestyle not only of food that perishes but of the word of God that lasts to eternity. John 6:27. Keep the word of God in your sight and heart and it will be healing to your whole flesh all the days appointed to you on this earth.
