TEACHING SERIES: IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD? – Jeremiah 8:19-22
INTRODUCTION: Everything needed for the perfect health of the believer has already been deposited and is contained in his or her salvation, and this is accessed via revelation.
Our possession is tied to our revelation. Deut. 29:29,
Jesus is the Great Physician. Matt. 9:12, Acts 10:38
Medical practitioners are an avenue for healing but they are limited. They can care and treat, but God is the ultimate healer. Mark 4:23, John 11:39-44
The Balm in Gilead is the Word of God. The Word of God is the carrier of the healing you desire. It conveys your healing and deliverance. Psalm 107:20, Matthew 8:8-13
Areas the Enemy Attacks With Sickness
1. Sickness of the Spirit. One of the activators of sickness is sin. A sick spirit can never sustain a healthy body – John 5:14, Proverbs 15:13, Proverbs 18:14
2. Emotional Sickness, which includes anxiety and bitterness. You can’t be bitter and better at the same time. Forgiveness is for your own good, not the other person. Ephesians 4:31

How Jesus Heals?

2. Heals via His power. Isaiah 61:2
3. Heals via His name. Mark 16:16-17
It takes faith to receive healing from God
