Does God say anything about our bodies, especially when they’re sick?
Yes! The Gospels are full of Jesus and the disciples healing bodies.
God still heals today and He does it in 4 different ways:
- Naturally
- Medically
- Supernaturally
- Eternally
What do we do when we, or someone we know, are under the pressure of something physical going wrong with our bodies?
James 5:14-16
14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
