God Is our "Great Physician"

Its been a few days since I have blogged,well the reason being is because I had to have some foot surgery done,and I will be the first to say,It Hurts!!!This leads me to my topic,The “Great Physician”. There are several scriptures that refer to the great physician , JESUS came to heal the sick and that’s whether you were sick because you were living in sin or sick from a physical condition.  What ever your condition is JESUS is there for it no matter if you are rich or poor we all have a chance to be delivered from our problem that’s one thing JESUS does not discriminate.  HE rains on the just as well as the unjust.  JESUS walked and lived among the poor and destitute never thinking that HE was more only feeling compassion and remorse for them.  The same way He's feeling right now because HE wants all of us to be healed so that we may have a chance to be apart of that great kingdom that’s been prepared for us. The bible says this in the book of Luke,5:31-32 Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Jesus encouraged the active involvement of the sick in their own healing and faith was a necessary ingredient. "Faith," as expressed in the healing stories it entailed a strong trust in God’s healing power and the determination to gain access to it. Over and over, Jesus praised those he healed for their faith. Mark 5:25-29 says,  And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had suffered a great deal l under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 29 Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. On the flip side, a lack of faith limited Jesus' healing in his hometown,Matthew 13:53-58 53 When Jesus had finished these parables, he moved on from there. 54 Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. “Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?” they asked. 55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home.” 58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. Jesus never healed when asked to prove himself. He only healed when people expected or asked to be healed. God heals - and He is the great physician and He can heal anyone of any affliction, whether it be physical, mental, emotional, or financial. There are going to be times in your life when you'll need God to heal you or a loved one, so don't be afraid to pray to God for the healing that you need. And little do most people know, but reading the Bible can heal you, too. Maybe the Bible isn't magical, but it will put you in the proper state of mind to be healed. When you open your mind to positive healing, the most amazing things can happen to you if you have Faith. This side of heaven, even we believers are plagued with sin, afflictions, sickness, death. So what are we to do? What is the antidote … the solution? You know very well – but your flesh is oh, so weak. Christ is our Great Physician and Savior! He alone can cure what ails us – both physically and spiritually. We see this at work in our Holy Scriptures every time we read. You see we all desire to be healed when we get sick,being sick is no fun,and I truly believe that God desires all of his children to be well. I don't believe God ever intended for any of his children to be struck down by any sickness. I am praying everyday that my foot heals quickly , and that God somehow lessons the pain that I feel,but I also know while God is working on healing my foot, he is all so working in different parts of my body at the same time. God is a healer of many thing,including the heart. You see, the important thing to remember about Jesus as The Great Physician is not that He can heal the body, but that He can heal the soul! If he heals the body, that is wonderful ,but eventually, the body will still perish. However, what Jesus does for the soul is eternal. Are you saved today? Maybe you would have to confess that the Lord has been dealing with you and you know you need to come to Jesus. Why put it off any longer? While He is passing by, take the time to come to Him this day and ask Him to save and deliver you from Hell. And that, after all,that is what we all really need Jesus Christ has the power to take any life that is broken and ruined by sin and make it over again. He is all-powerful, all-saving and awesome! He will lift you out of the affliction of your sins if you will only come to Him when He calls you Blessings!!
