GOD is our GREAT PHYSICIAN (PART 1)
God is not only our creator, but He as well is our healer. Originally, it was never His plan to make man and woman experience sickness and death. In fact, He created the world good (Genesis 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.)
Before creating Adam and Eve, He created first everything they needed in six days. However, they chose to disgrace His will, Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
and in Genesis 3, has documented what happened after their disobedience. Suffering, hardships, and death were among the consequences to name a few.
one of the consequences of sin is sickness. The Bible has recorded several text showing healer.
Exodus 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
Introduces God as the Healer of His People if they would diligent obe His voice. God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female slaves Genesis 20:17 So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
God healed Hezekiah in (2Kings Chapter 20.)
-However, His healing was not only focused on physical sickness. He did heal as well the emotional problems of His people. In Psalms 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
-States, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." On top of this, God provided SPIRITUAL HEALING as well, which is foundational to all healings.
