From the day we are born till the day we die, we are all
susceptible to sickness and disease. As young children we
instinctively look to and trust our parents to pull us through,
but sooner or later we find that all their love, concern, and
experience can take the healing process only so far. Then
as we get older we learn to appreciate our body’s amazing
ability to overcome and recover from sickness, and we depend
on that. But eventually we each find ourselves in a situation
where that’s not enough either. Who do we turn to for help
then?—Doctors? God? Does God even want to get involved in
our personal health problems? If so, what can we expect from
Him, and what does He expect from us?
Yet another factor is that our own spirits aren’t the only ones
involved. The Bible tells us that a fierce, continual battle is
taking place in the unseen spiritual realm that surrounds us.
It’s a battle of good against evil for influence over our hearts and
minds, which in turn control our actions and destinies. As God
and His heavenly forces war against the Devil and his demons,
the battle spills over into our physical realm and involves us. “We
do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”1
One way that the Devil and his demons attack us is through our
health, so it’s important that we keep our spiritual defenses
strong in order to help ward off sickness, and also that we pray
about possible spiritual causes when we do get sick.

Ephesians 6:12
So when you need healing, put yourself first and foremost in His
loving hands. If He chooses to heal you through supernatural
means alone, that’s within His power. If He chooses to enlist
the help of doctors, He wants to head the team. If He chooses
I’m right here. I know it hurts, and I feel for you. I’m
right here by your side. No, I’m not even that distant; I
surround you, covering all the sore spots, soothing as
only I can, and I won’t leave you for an instant.
I can heal anything. I can even restore life and health to someone who
has died! I raised people from the dead while I trod the dusty roads of
Palestine two thousand years ago, and My power has not diminished
since. If I could do that, surely I can heal whatever’s wrong with you!
