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.
– Exodus 15:26

Has the devil ever tried to put
you under condemnation by telling you that it’s contrary to the
principles of faith to use doctors and medicine when you need healing?
If so, here are some encouraging words that I believe will help you put
your heart at rest.
It is God’s will to heal you. That’s the first
and most important thing for you to understand. If your faith is strong
and you can believe the Word without wavering (regardless of what
circumstances or symptoms come against you), then you’ll be able to
receive that healing by faith alone.
But that kind of faith takes
more than just hearing a few sermons about healing. It takes a deep
personal revelation of God’s healing power. So, if you haven’t yet
developed that kind of faith, the doctor is your best friend.
If
you’re not certain whether your faith is strong enough or whether you
need a doctor’s help, follow the instructions of the Apostle Paul
(Colossians 3:15) and let peace be your umpire.
If fear rises up
within you when you think about doing without medical help, then go to a
doctor. And go in faith! On the other hand, if you have a sure
confidence within you that healing is yours strictly by faith, let your
faith do its work and receive your healing directly. Whether or not you
go to the doctor is not the issue. It is what you do with your faith.
Either
way, you can rejoice knowing God is working with you, meeting you at
the level of your faith. Thank God for your healing—however it
comes!—and do not let Satan put you under condemnation. It is none of
his business!
