Scripture Declarations for Physical Healing

Jesus entered this world for a single purpose: “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 Jn. 3:8). As seen all throughout the Bible, some of the main consequences of Satan’s influence on this world are sickness and disease. That’s why as a part of Jesus’ ministry to “make all things new,” healing was front and center. And as consistently modeled by His followers, healing remained a crucial ministry of the Holy Spirit even after Jesus’ resurrection.

To aid you in your prayers for healing, I’ve selected the most powerful Scripture promises for healing and coupled them with personalized declarations. Follow along with the audio track or the text below and be encouraged in God’s healing power today.
