“If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God… I am the Lord that healeth thee” (EXo 15:26).

Here the first condition laid down by the Lord for healing is, Diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God.” Perphaps the Lord is speaking to you during your illness and you are not listening to what He is saying to you.

“He sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” (Psa 107:20). There is healing in His Word.

The centurion said, “Speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed” (Matt 8:8). If the servant of a centurion can be healed by a word spoken by the Lord Jesus, how much more can we the children of God or the servants of the Lord be healed by His words!

“He cast out the spirit with His word, and healed all that were sick” (Matt 8:16).

“My sheep hear My voice” (Jn10:27). So, if you are a child of God and you are sick, the Lord certainly wants to speak to you and heal you. When the Lord speaks, His words also bring peace to our troubled hearts. “He will speak peace unto His people” (Psa 85:8). Here the word ‘peace unto His people” (shalom) means peace, prosperity, health and healing.
So when we hear the Lord speaking to us, it brings peace to our troubled spirit, healing to our body and prosperity to our soul.

Once a child of God had a severe heart attack. As she waited on the Lord, the Lord spoke to her through the verse, “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart” (Psa 73:26).She believed the word and it brought miraculous healing to her. She asked the Lord to speak to her and give her word that she will not have another attack. Then the Lord very clearly spoke. “Affliction shall not rise up the second time” (Nah 1:9). She wanted to be shifted back to her room which was upstairs and prayed to the Lord about it. Then the Lord gave her the verse: “I will strengthen them in the Lord; and they shall walk up and down in His name” (Zech 10:12). Accordingly, she was strenghthened to walk up and down in the name of the Lord!

Dear child of God, “Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice” (Jn 5:28,29). If the voice of God is able to raise those who are in the graves and bring them out, how much more you, being a precious child of God, can hear His voice and come out of your sickness! By faith rise up from your bed because the Word of God is come to you: “With His stripes you are healed!”.
