"The author is Dr. Barbara Starfield of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health and she describes how the US health care system may contribute to poor health.
ALL THESE ARE DEATHS PER YEAR:
12,000 -- unnecessary surgery 8
7,000 -- medication errors in hospitals 9
20,000 -- other errors in hospitals 10
80,000 -- infections in hospitals 10
106,000 -- non-error, negative effects of drugs 2
These total to 250,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes
What does the word iatrogenic mean? This term is defined as induced in a patient by a physician's activity, manner, or therapy. Used especially of a complication of treatment".
1. God loves us and wants to help us with ALL our problems: LORD JESUS CHRIST HEALER OF ALL DISEASES. (PSALMS 103:3).The word of God is the most powerful medicine available today, and it is capable of bringing lasting healing to every part of our lives without negative side effects. There are still many diseases that medical science has not yet found a cure for. There is nothing wrong with consulting a doctor, and many lives are saved every year through the help of medical professionals. Also, there are medicines available today that are beneficial in aiding the body's healing process. But above all this we need to remember that there is great physician , our Lord Jesus Christ . He is referred to himself as physician twice in Luke 4:23 and in Matt. 9:12-13. Jesus said that the things which are impossible with men ARE possible with God.
Doctors may have told you that there is no longer any hope for you medically, but the word of God is full of hope. The question is whose report will you believe? Do you believe in Gods report or Doctors Report?
"...they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses. He sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." (Psalm 107:19 - 20)
"So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it." (Isaiah 55: 11)
"I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, says the Lord; and I will heal him." (Isaiah 57:19)
The Bible says that men are not healed because of their refusal to go to God for healing. For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." - Matthew 13:15
2. Scriptures say that God heals:
Matthew 4:23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
Genesis 20:17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife and his slave girls so they could have children again.
Acts 3:16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.
James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Numbers 12:13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, "O God, please heal her!" And God did heal Miriam.
James 5:14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him.
Exodus 15:26 He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."
3. There are Different types of healing prayer we see in the bible:
Straight intercession for a group of people (2 Chronicles 30:17-20)
Petition prayer for another - asking God to heal them (Gen 20:14-18)
Petition prayer for yourself - asking God to heal you (2 Kings 20:1-7)
Standing in agreement with a relative's prayer of faith (Matt 15:28)
Standing in agreement with another's proclamation of faith (Matt 8:8, 13)
Being a point of contact for another's faith (Matthew 9:21-22)
Encouraging and building another's faith (Luke 8:49-55 [especially 50])
Proclaiming God's truth and good news (Matthew 9:35)
Proclaiming the healing of Jesus over a person (Acts 9:34)
Petition prayer and laying on of hands (Acts 28:8)
Through physical contact, usually the laying on of hands (Matt 14:35-36, Mark 5:22-23, Luke 4:40)
Anointing with oil (Mark 6:7-13)
Healing through deliverance (Matthew 17:15,18, Acts 8:7)
Commanding the person to be healed (Luke 18:41-43)
Command body parts to work properly (Mark 7:32-35)
Commanding the person to do the impossible (Matt 12:9-13)
Forcing the person to do the impossible (Acts 3:2-8)
Persistent prayer (including asking for feedback) (Mark 8:22-25)
Moving under God's healing anointing when it is present (Luke 5:17)
Carrying God's sovereign healing power and anointing (Luke 6:19)
Being explicitly sent by God, and obeying Him (Luke 9:2,6)
The devil is a liar wants to rob us of our redemptive rights by placing curses of poverty, sickness and death upon our lives. There is a power in the Blood of Jesus Christ and its a shield against any power of sickness and diseases. Plead the blood of Jesus over your health and you will be safe.
Note: we need to acknowledge our sins, confess our sins and repent for our sins , surrender ourselves and our lives to God ,obey his commandments, and walk according to his will and live holy and righteous before him by rejecting anything that is sinful, pray without ceasing and have undoubted faith in God and in everything give thanks to God. Then God's health care insurance Policy will 100% work. The Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1).
