Jesus Christ paid the penalty for all our sins, both spiritual and physical. While on this earth, Jesus healed all the sick--both believers and unbelievers alike. Isaiah the prophet said, "He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses and our diseases." Jesus died on the cross not only for our sins and our salvation, but He bore his stripes for our healing. Jesus healed and healed and healed. It was always His will to heal. A leper came to Him and said, "If thou wilt, thou can make me clean." Jesus promptly answered, "I will. Be thou clean." And immediately the leprosy left him. (Luke 5:12-13)

Hebrews 13:8 says that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." It was His will to heal while on this earth, and it is still His will to heal today.
My hands, fingers and ankles became inflicted with scleroderma, a rare, and sometimes fatal, connective tissue disease, in 2005. It started out as inflammation in my finger joints and swelling in my left ankle. My doctor was puzzled about what was going on with me, and prescribed a steriod pack and also an anti-inflammatory drug. The drugs helped, but they didn't cure the problem. As I made more trips back to the doctor, the nurse noticed that my blood pressure kept rising. The doctor then prescribed a medicine to lower my blood pressure, but he was still puzzled about my condition.

My fingers finally became crooked and swollen to the point where I would not make a fist or be able to straighten them out. I returned to the doctor in December, 2005, and he finally diagnosed my condition as scleroderma. In reading about my condition, I found that medical science had no cure for it. I read that medication could regulate it and keep it under control, but not cure it. What then could I do?

I then decided to do what I should have done in the beginning--seek the help of God and Jesus for a healing of this awful crippling disease. I prayed and I prayed and I prayed continuously for weeks for a full healing. Although not healed yet, I can see that Jesus and God are working on healing my heart and soul, which I needed first. I allowed the doctrines of man and a very strict religion to turn me away from God for a number of years, but I have repented and returned to Him. I am not a member of any organized religion, choosing rather to just have a daily personal relationship with Jesus and God. I am just an average person who has a strong faith that I will be completely and thoroughly healed when God decides to bring a healing to my body, in Jesus' name.

I can't understand why most religions ignore the healing power of Jesus and God. All the other teachings of Jesus are preached each Sunday in church pulpits worldwide, but His healing message is generally left out. If you read about Jesus' life on this earth, you will find that He spent most of His life in healing others.

Are Jesus and God any different today than they were 2,000 years ago? Absolutely not. You can be healed of whatever ails you if you turn to Heaven and believe for your miracle.
