“Is not God as willing to show the mercy of healing to His worshippers as He is to show the mercy of forgiveness to His enemies?” (Romans 8:32) – F.F. Bosworth in “Christ The Healer“
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:32 NKJ
The Amplified Bible is often helpful for explaining the meaning of words in a passage (amplifying them):
“He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all [other] things?” Romans 8:32 AMP
He sends forth His word and heals them and rescues them from the pit and destruction.
Psalm 107:20 AMP
Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name!
Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits—
Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;
Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]! Psalm 103:1-5 AMP
There are many, many more Scriptures about healing, as well as many examples of healing in the Bible. There are also many books written about healing, but not all of them line up with Scripture. In my study on healing I’ve ran across several books that completely disregard what the Bible says about it. I’m currently reading “Christ The Healer” by F.F. Bosworth, as I’ve quoted above. I’m not finished with it yet, but my opinion about it so far is good. The book is mostly a compilation of Bosworth’s sermons, with some incredible and encouraging testimonials from people who were healed of various ailments and diseases, several which were life-threatening.
Have you read any good books on healing that are based on Scripture? If so, please share them in the comments.

Also, don’t forget, you’re welcome to copy and print out any part of “Healing Is For You!” that you want to have in hard copy. There is a copy on the Hangin’ Out With God blog and on the Healing From Jesus Blog as well.

Thank you Sandra. I had read and bookmarked your “Healing Is For You!” and also “God’s Medicine Chest” some time ago, but I didn’t print anything out. It does help to have a hard copy to read and refer to any time. Thanks for the option to copy and print it!

Great post, Sharon. And you definitely cannot go wrong reading F. F. Bosworth’s book. Also, if you have an opportunity to read anything by John G. Lake about healing, be sure you do. He was anointed with one of the most powerful healing ministries the world has ever known, and his teaching is straight from the Word.

Thanks Sandra! I have heard of John G. Lake but have not read anything by him yet. I see that his books are available on Amazon, and the one “John G. Lake on Healing” compiled by Roberts Liardon looks like it may be a good one to start with.
