Declarations of
By His wounds we are healed. This is not a hope deferred — it is a completed act, declared over you by the prophet Isaiah seven centuries before the cross and confirmed in the body of Christ.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5
Healing is one of the most contested doctrines in the church — and one of the most clearly attested in Scripture. Jesus healed the sick as a central feature of His ministry, and He commissioned His disciples to do the same. The New Testament presents healing as part of the atonement, as a sign of the kingdom, and as a gift of the Spirit. Declarations of healing are not the denial of illness or pain — they are the spoken agreement with what God has said about His will and His power to restore. They are for those who are sick in body, wounded in soul, or broken in spirit. They are for those who are interceding for others. And they are for those who need to be reminded that the God who heals has not changed.
I declare that by the wounds of Jesus Christ I am healed. He bore my sicknesses and carried my diseases. The punishment that brought me peace was upon Him. I do not receive sickness as God's will for my life — I receive the healing that Christ purchased at the cross. I speak life and health over my body, my mind, and my spirit, and I trust the God who heals.
I declare that God is the Restorer of broken things. He restores my soul. He restores the years the locust has eaten. He makes all things new. What has been damaged — in my body, in my relationships, in my mind, in my story — is not beyond His reach. I bring the broken pieces to Him and I trust Him to do what only He can do: restore, rebuild, and make beautiful.
I declare that the Lord is the One who heals me — Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. He heals all my diseases. He redeems my life from the pit. He satisfies me with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's. I bless the Lord and I do not forget His benefits — including the benefit of healing. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
I declare that God is making all things new — including me. The restoration He is working in my life is not cosmetic; it is comprehensive. He is renewing my mind, healing my heart, restoring my body, and redeeming my story. I do not despair over what has been lost or broken. I look to the One who sits on the throne and says, 'Behold, I am making all things new.' I believe Him.
If a declaration of God's healing power has sustained you through illness or brokenness, we welcome your contribution.
