Bible verses about healing abound in the Good Book. Healing scriptures for the sick can be found in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. God revealed Himself as the Healer in the book of Exodus. Jesus addressed the “is healing the will of God” issue in Matthew 8:3.
God remains in the healing business and revealed Himself as The Healer in the book of Exodus. Jesus healed thousands during His brief time on earth. Peter’s shadow was known to have healing power and Paul’s handkerchiefs did as well. We can go to God with confidence and ask for healing in our bodies!
