I WANT TO THANK prophet Lauro Adame for helping me compile and arrange these verses by topic.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits, who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. The LORD does righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the people of Israel.

PSALM 103:27

H EALING AND DELIVERANCE are two central parts of our salvation experience. It is Gods good pleasure to heal you of all your diseases and to set you free from the hand of the enemy. One of the ways we activate these salvation benefits in our lives is through faith in God. Even our small, mustard seed faith can move the mountains of sickness, disease, and demonic oppression from our lives. But there is such a thing as strong faith, and strong faith is built by hearing, and hearing, by the Word of God.

Through the Bible God has given us His word on which we can build a foundation of faith. Psalm 107:20 says, He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction. We have access to the healing and delivering power of God every time we open His Word. His Word is alive and active, ready to reveal to us His faithfulness to His people generation after generation. When we read Gods Word, we witness the acts of God and His intervention on behalf of His people. We become witnesses to the lovingkindness of God, and our faith is built. We are able to believe that if God did it for them then, He will do it for us now.

For the past thirty-plus years in ministry healing and deliverance have been my passion. I believe that God wants to see everyone set free and walking in the shalompeace, prosperity, and blessingof God. Its what Jesus died for. And if we are tormented by the enemy, we should be able to set up an effective offense and defense against him. It has been my mission to teach and preach the deliverance of God and see His people armed and ready to stand against any devil with the authority of Jesus Christ, who is the living Word of God (John 1:1).

Healing and Deliverance Are Your Covenant Rights

The whole theme of Scripture is about Gods covenant with man to rescue, restore, heal, and deliver them, even while they have historically and consistently broken their end of the deal. God remains faithful; man is unfaithful. God keeps covenants; man breaks covenants. But there is always a remnant.

Healing and deliverance come to those who are in covenant with Godthe ones who remain faithful. We see an example of this when God told Elijah, I have preserved seven thousand men in Israel for Myself, all of whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him (1 Kings 19:18). These seven thousand men had been faithful to God and to the covenant; they had not worshipped idols. In Scripture they are known as the remnant. We need to understand remnant in terms of covenant. God promised He would save this remnant because of His covenant promises with Abraham, and as the Israelites were part of the seed of Abraham, God extended His covenant of mercy to them. The covenant was simply this, that through Abrahams seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed. (See Genesis 22:18.)

God made good on His covenant to Abraham by showing His mercy to the people of Israel when they would get into trouble. Because God is righteous, He would judge them, but then His mercy would come, and He would save, deliver, and restore them.

Deliverance out of trouble is a form of Gods mercy being enacted because of a covenant. If it werent for the mercy of God, every covenant violation that we commit today would cause us to be destroyed. Our actions outside of Gods plans for our lives put us in violation of the covenant and open us up to all kinds of evil and torment from the enemy. But God has created a way for us to be delivered out of all our troubles, then healed and restored to a place of authority in Him. The Bible says, Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all (Ps. 34:19).
