3. God expects His people to look to Him first for healing.
2 Chronicles 16:12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD,but to the physicians. 13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

5. The mercy of God to Hezekiah was not dependent upon the king’s faith for he dared to ask asign that God would keep His word.
2 Kings 20:8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD willheal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?

9. When God moves in judgment against a nation or an individual the divine intent is to inducethe people to repent, pray and return to righteousness.
Isaiah 19:22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall healthem.

Zechariah 11:16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit thosethat be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
17. Some of the most precious words Jesus spoke is when He was asked to heal someone and Hereplied,
“I will come and heal him.”
Matthew 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. Does Jesus care when my heart is pained Too deeply for mirth or song, As the burdens press, and the cares distress And the way grows weary and long?
Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares,His heart is touched with my grief;When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,I know my Savior cares.
