There's a lot of talk about being healthy these days. Everyone around you is trying to be healthy, eat healthy and get healthy again. Everyone is walking, watching their carbs, eating more fruits and vegetables and getting back to nature the way God intended. And God certainly wants us to be healthy but also walk in spiritual health. God desires to bring healing and deliverance to all who will only ask Him for this blessing - both spiritually and physically. 1 Peter declares, "He bore our sins in His own body on a tree, that we being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed."
The pain and agony that Christ suffered on the cross for you and me, and the stripes that He suffered on His own body were for our healing. That was one of the reasons He took this suffering. So if you are afflicted, ask God to show you His Glory by miraculously healing your sick body. Then when you receive your healing, go and tell someone. Testify of the greatness of God and how He has blessed you with good health. He is an awesome God and He is praiseworthy.
However, more than physical health He wants us to be strong and vibrant in spirit. The life He came to give to us is spiritual life. And He desires to set us free of the bondages of spiritual death and help us experience real life and health.
