The Ministry of Health and Healing
spoke to other afflicted, sin-burdened ones who should seek His help.
Matthew 9:2
;
Luke 8:48
.
So with all the promises of God’s Word. In them He is speaking
to us individually, speaking as directly as if we could hear His voice.
It is in these promises that Christ communicates to us His grace and
power. They are leaves from that tree which is “for the healing of the
nations.”
Revelation 22:2
. Received, assimilated, they are to be the
strength of the character, the inspiration and sustenance of the life.
Nothing else can have such healing power. Nothing else can impart
the courage and faith that give vital energy to the whole being.
To one who stands trembling with fear on the brink of the grave,
to the soul weary of the burden of suffering and sin, let the physician,
as opportunity presents itself, repeat the words of the Savior—for
all the words of Holy Writ are His: “‘Fear not, for I have redeemed
you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you
pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers,
they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you
shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the
[60]
Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. ... Since you
were precious in My sight, you have been honored, and I have loved
you.’” “‘I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My
own sake; and I will not remember your sins.’” “‘Fear not, for I am
with you.’”
Isaiah 43:1-4, 25, 5
.
“As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear
Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.”

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

“‘I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and
like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.’”

ingkindness I have drawn you.’”

peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not
your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.’”
