Almighty GOD Will Heal & Cure His people

 

I WILL HEAL AND CURE THEM

-see Jeremiah 33:6-9 [KJV]

 

 

In these verses of scripture we have the gospel of grace given to us in a providential type and picture.  Paul has told us that all things that happened to Israel of old were given for our example to teach us and comfort us in the way of grace (Romans 15:4; I Corinthians 10:11).  Israel was taken into captivity by the Chaldeans and then delivered by the decree of God (Jeremiah 33:26). The same is true of God’s spiritual Israel, they were taken captive by sin, Satan and the holy justice of God and then delivered by the almighty decree of God (Romans 8:28-30). Notice carefully some of the blessings given in these verses.

 

1). I will bring health and cure. 

Through the blood atonement of Jesus Christ, all our spiritual diseases have been put away and eternally healed (Isaiah 53:4-6; I Peter 2:24).

 

2).  I will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

Apart from the revelation of the word of truth to our heart we are ignorant of the way of peace in Christ (Romans 5:1); Who is the truth of salvation (Acts 4:12), the truth of redemption (Hebrews 9:12), the truth of righteousness (Jeremiah 33:16). Now in Christ, we have peace with God through truth (John 14:6).

 

3).  I will cause the captivity of Israel to return.

We were in bondage to sin and powerless to deliver ourselves from captivity. By the obedience and sacrifice of our Lord we have been liberated from sin, death and eternal condemnation (Romans 8:1, 32-39; John 8:32-36).

 

4).   I will build them.

God’s elect rest upon the foundation of Christ Himself, being the Chief Cornerstone (Isaiah 28:16).  Upon this foundation our Lord declared that, “I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:28).

 

5).  I will cleanse them from all their iniquities.

This can only happen through Jesus Christ bearing our judgment in our room and stead (I Peter 2:24; 3:18; II Corinthians 5:21).

 

6).  I will pardon them from all their sin and transgression against Me.

Who but God alone has such authority and right to declare the guilty justified in His sight (Romans 4:3-6; Nehemiah 9:17; Isaiah 55:6-7).

 

All of these blessings God has given us in Christ Jesus that we should be, “a name of joy, praise and honour” (Jeremiah 33:9).  Therefore we should worship Him, “for all the goodness and prosperity that I procure (appoint) unto it (His elect)” (Romans 8:32; Ephesians 1:3-6; I Thessalonians 5:9).

The Putrid Cup of Tolerance: When Evil Poses as Progress

"Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked." -Psalm 97:10 [KJV] "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." Thomas Mann's chilling words pierce through the fog of modern moral relativism like a shard of ice. It's a warning that echoes through the blood-soaked pages of history, a truth we ignore at our peril. The Seduction of False Neutrality We live in an age where tolerance is held up as the supreme virtue, the golden idol before which we must all bow. We're told to accept everything, question nothing, and embrace a faux-unity that sacrifices truth on the altar of political correctness. But what happens when this tolerance becomes a blindfold, obscuring the stark reality of evil lurking in our midst? Like a ravenous wolf, evil doesn't care for our carefully crafted social constructs. It doesn't respect boundaries, it doesn't play fair, and it ce...

Great Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 19 October, 2025 A.D.

"Behold, he prayeth!"   -Acts 9:11 [KJV] In many trades, it is customary to shew samples or patterns. By these men judge of the goodness or quality of the whole. St. Paul sets himself forth as a sample, or pattern, of the free, distinguishing, sovereign, unmerited grace of God, that we should judge of its nature by its efficacy upon him. “I obtained mercy, for this cause, that in me first   (-a first rate sinner) Jesus Christ may shew forth His all long suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting”   (I Timothy 1:16.) Thou hast seen this pattern of free grace. What dost thou think of it?  The whole is alike with the pattern. It cometh alike upon elect sinners. It finds no more prerequisites, fitness, qualifications, or conditions in any, than it did in St. Paul. Whenever it takes place upon any, it produceth the same effects as it did in him. Grace and mercy from Jesus, makes Saul pray to Jesus. There is the ...

LORD JESUS, Be Merciful...

" LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul, for I have sinned against Thee." -Psalm 41:4 [KJV] Is this the language of the man after God’s own heart? Was David a saint when he uttered it? Yes, he was a holy man of God. This confession and prayer shew it. His heart was not hardened through the deceitfulness of sin, nor blinded by self-righteous pride, so as to say, “I have no sin.”   Self-righteous hearts cannot away with this, that all the Lord’s saints are yet in themselves miserable sinners; that they daily see need to confess this; and to sue for mercy and healing from the Lord. Here is a confession, a plea, and a prayer.  (1st.) A confession, “I have sinned against Thee.” Thus we must come and confess to the Lord to-day, to-morrow, and every day, till the sun of life sets. Sense of sin, whether fresh contracted, or long since committed, abides with us. It wounds and pains a gracious soul. Here grace discovers itself. That soul waits not for time to efface the m...
