Pray to be free from sickness...

“And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” ~ Exodus 23:25 (NIV).

Our mighty God tells us in his own holy word that he is our healer and he is the one who takes our sickness and disease away. Yet people who claim to be Christians, live day after day with things that are not right with their health. Isn’t it strange that it never occurs to them that they can ask God to restore their bodies.

I crossed paths with a girl in her early 20’s recently that has fought an allergy to coconut all of her life. Whenever she comes in contact with it, her face swells to the point she is unrecognizable.

I asked her if she had ever prayed for God to take away that allergy and if she had ask Jesus to stand between her and the coconut. Even though she was born into family that regularly worships God, she had never considered praying to be free from this sickness that binds her.

We can pray to be free from all kinds of things, including free from an allergy that limits our activities and alters our health. The Lord urged us in Isaiah 52:2, “Free yourself from the chains on your neck.”

Let us not limit God and believe that he can not do all things. For that is a lie straight from Satan. Our God is the God of the impossible.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” ~ Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV).
