Healing is part of the plan pt. 2

We are three-part beings—spirit, soul, and body. When we make Jesus Lord of our lives, our spirit receives healing from spiritual death. But there are still two areas of our makeup that need Christ’s healing touch—our souls (mind, emotions, and will) and our physical bodies.

For any area where our soul is sick, the Word of God is the answer to nourishing our minds into a balanced and healthy state. Thoughts of fear can be replaced with thoughts of faith. Thoughts of lack can be replaced with thoughts of provision. Thoughts of failure and depression can be replaced with thoughts of peace and joy. When fear and negative thoughts rise in your mind, recognize that they aren’t from God, and, by faith, choose to replace them with the precious promises of God’s Word.

Many times, it’s not what happened to us, but how we respond that matters. Jesus doesn’t want us to go through life carrying old wounds; He wants to heal us. The Spirit of God is always with you and will never leave you. You can draw from His strength through every painful circumstance and find your healing. Your job is to saturate your mind and heart with the promises found in His Word—to build up your faith by believing and standing on these promises.
