There are life support Scriptures that can help us fight the spirit of infirmity. The Bible offers powerful Scriptures that not only remind us of God’s healing power but also activate that power within us. In this blog I will share with you 10 Bible verses to help you fight the spirit of infirmity and find strength in God’s promises.
When fighting sicknesses and diseases, the first thing to note is that God is with us and He is on our side. We must be assured that Christ gives everlasting life through His death and resurrection. This life gives us victory over the spirit of infirmity.
We live in a world plagued by various illnesses, threatening both our health and well-being. Yet the Bible reassures us that Christ has already borne our infirmities and carried our diseases. Sometimes, God allows these challenges to demonstrate His power more profoundly. What the enemy intends for harm, God can transform for good. Even in the midst of sickness, God can work through our infirmities to reveal His glory and fulfill His purpose, using every hardship for His greater plan.
Though Satan seeks to use the spirit of infirmity to steal life from God’s people, we are empowered through the grace and authority of our living God. We have the power to overcome every spirit, including sickness, by standing in faith. As we trust in God and His promises, we will receive healing from His hands, for He is always faithful.
Believing is healing
Confessing your sins in your sickness
Confession plays a critical role in the healing process. We must confess our sins to God and others so that we may experience true healing. Sin can act as a barrier, both causing illness and preventing healing. By confessing, we remove this blockage, allowing God to restore us with renewed strength.
Scripture warns that the wages of sin is death, but through confession, we find redemption. As we confess our sins to the Lord, He brings us back to life, offering us the path to eternity through His grace and forgiveness.
10 LIFE SUPPORT SCRIPTURES TO FIGHT THE SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY
The following is a list of ten life support scriptures that will surely help you as you struggle with any for of infirmity. Don’t ever forget that healing is available to you. Reach out and touch Him. Let’s have a look.
1. "Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all"
Our caring Saviour has taken our diseases on Himself in the greatest act of love. He has foreshadowed our suffering and has made a way through His grace. As we suffer with our infirmities we should be reminded that He was wounded for our transgressions. We should also know that it is by His stripes that we are healed. This is great hope for us, as we travel through our sicknesses. Don’t be discouraged. If God is for us then no sickness or disease can be against us.
2. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
As we endure our trials, let’s remember that God will eventually wipe every tear from our eyes. Our suffering is temporary, but the crown of healing is eternal. Imagine a Kingdom where sickness and death are no more. In our darkest moments, we can hold tightly to the hope that God is guiding us to that place, where every little thing will be alright.
3. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
One of our greatest weapon is the Word of God. The Word is powerful enough to heal us. In our sicknesses we must both take in and spew out the Word of God. We must declare with confidence the power of the Word of God. As we do this we can be assured of our healing, knowing that the every Word of God is pure.
God's help in our afflictions
4. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Our afflictions may be many, but God’s grace is always more than enough. As we place our faith in Him, He remains faithful to heal us. At times, the weight of our suffering may seem unbearable, leaving us questioning if there is any escape. Yet Christ is the way out of every sickness and disease. Even in death, we can rest in the hope of a heavenly home, where pain and sorrow will no longer exist.
5. Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
This Scripture is one of my favorites because it gives us profound hope. Imagine that God is always with us, even when we are wounded by infirmities. We can take comfort knowing that our Great Physician will heal us in His perfect time. While there are seasons where we must endure suffering, there is also a time for healing. As we face our challenges, we can be assured that God is working and that relief will come in His appointed moment.
6. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
7. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Though we may seek physical healing, our ultimate healing is found in the Spirit. Jesus reminds us not to fear what can harm our bodies but to revere the One who holds authority over our souls. As we carry our infirmities, we should embrace the greater reality that eternal life is our true healing. The body may perish, but the Spirit lives on. Even if we succumb to illness, we have an enduring hope: eternal life in Christ.
8. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
As you put your faith in God, you will never perish, and your reward will be eternal life. This life transcends every sickness and disease. While we may still face wounds and struggles, we will always overcome. Our victory is not achieved through might or power, but through the Spirit of God.
9. The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.
10. "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."
