The scriptures reveal God’s heart. God is not a respecter of people. What he has done for others we can expect him to do for us if we obey his word. Let’s begin with Luke 5:12-13 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
Proverbs 4:20-23 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
We see in these scriptures provision. God has provided a way for us to be in health. He promises that if we keep his word foremost in our minds and conversations to do what it says, they are life and health to all our flesh.
We believe that the scriptures are inspired by God. God caused humans to record the scriptures so we can understand and know what he expects of us, what he has promised us and how to please him by doing his word.
Psalms 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ephesians 1:17-23 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.
Paul prayed this over the church at Ephesus. We can ask God to give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him too. Ask God to open the eyes of your understanding so they are enlightened to know the will of God.
