In Psalms, chapter six, verse four, though the penitent one is concerned about the body receiving healing, as in verse two, his primary concern is for the healing of the soul and the restoration of the presence of God and favor. He longs for God to be near him and appeals to His mercy and love. Since mercy and love are part of God’s character and nature, believers may appeal to Him confidently for mercy in keeping with His character.
To receive healing is a blessing that may not be in conversation much, only during testimonies at church. However, healing is mentioned thirteen times in the Bible, four in the Old Testament and the rest in the New Testament. In these healing verses, this word connects with peace. If none, it is trouble. Healing is like medicine: when we hear it, we overhear wounds, sickness, and all manner of diseases.
There is a need for healing while healing is happening everywhere, and the miracle of healing, the demonstration of healing all from oppression by evil spirits, is a gift. However, the gifts of healing can heal nations. Significantly, when healing is at work, through Jesus Christ, the Son of God by the Holy Spirit, ministering. However, despite all of this healing, there is a verse or verses not mentioned in the thirteen found in the Bible that may be the most valuable but does have the word healing in it and will make believers realize how precious it is: Matthew fifteen, verse twenty-six, and Mark seven, verse twenty-seven.
These healing verses are from Matthew fifteen, verse twenty-six, under the Faith of a Canaanite Woman, verses twenty-one to thirty-one, and Mark seven, verse twenty-seven, A Greek Woman’s Faith section, verses twenty-four through thirty, respectively. “Healing is the Children’s Bread” is a phrase that carries profound significance and power. It refers to the truth that healing is an inherent and rightful provision for the children of God. Just as bread is a staple in our physical nourishment, healing is a fundamental aspect of our spiritual and emotional well-being. By referring to healing as the children’s bread, Jesus emphasizes that healing is not only available but also essential for God’s children and a provision
meant to sustain and nourish us in our journey of faith.
Healing provides restoration and strength for our spiritual and emotional well-being. Understanding the meaning of this phrase changes our perspective on healing. It reminds us that healing is not a mere luxury or occasional occurrence but rather a fundamental aspect of our identity as children of God. It encourages us to approach God with confidence and faith, knowing He desires to bring healing and wholeness into every area of our lives.
Delivering my soul is much more important because even though we receive healing, it may have the opportunity to come again depending on what we do, the choices made, and how we live. Deliverance will come if our faith is working and determines which path we are on by seeking the narrow way, leaving Broadway, which is the worldly lifestyle to begin, while doing our part to avoid and not live in sin.
