18 She said to Elijah, “What do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?” 19 “Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. 1 Kings 17:17 “Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. Proverbs 17:22 “ A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”ģ. Romans 5:3-4 “And not only this, but we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance 4 and perseverance, proven character and proven character, hope.”Ģ. Do not allow a temporary problem like flesh to guide you away from God.ġ.
Illness will no longer matter, but your spirit will remain. No matter how hard you try, at some point, you will die, and your flesh will no longer matter. Our flesh and sin are linked until we break the chains with salvation from God. If the Lord can reverse problems of the flesh, how much more will He do to guide your spirit to a place of health and life?Īll scripture leads to the healing of sickness with sin as the main sickness. While on earth, Jesus healed physical ailments to help people understand how God can cure the problem of sin. While enjoying sickness does not happen, God uses physical affliction to sharpen our spirit and bring us closer to Him. Romans 5:3-4 embodies the necessity of suffering, “More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.” The only cure for our flesh is the spirit that comes from salvation via Jesus Christ. To fully realize the necessity of Jesus’ sacrifice, we need illness to remind us of our human nature.
#WORDS TO THE SICK AND SHUT IN SCRIPTURES FREE#
Jesus came to take away our decaying forms and replace them with eternal forms free from sickness and death by showing us the route to Heaven through salvation. As we are made of a body that decays, we need to be reminded of our imperfect nature and the necessity of eternal life, which the Bible points out time and time again. The Word often speaks about illness and suffering while pointing toward the flesh as the cause. “The critical question for our generation-and for every generation- is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ were not there?” John Piper He does nothing in vain.” John Henry Newman My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. “Health is a good thing but sickness is far better, if it leads us to God.” J.C. Sickness has frequently been of more use to the saints of God than health has.” C.H.
“I venture to say that the greatest earthly blessing that God can give to any of us is health, with the exception of sickness. “When you get sick, do two things: pray for healing and go to a doctor.” John MacArthur
