God is the great physician and there is no illness that He is unable to cure. He has made many promises in the Holy Scriptures to bless us with good health, to heal our diseases, and to provide restoration, and strength.
If we have faith and claim His promises, we are able to rebuke any illness through the healing power of Jesus Christ. The word of God in Isaiah 65:24 promises that before you call, God will answer and while you are still speaking, He will hear.
Claim this promise in faith as you rebuke cancer, declare healing, find comfort, decree recovery, and seek strength from the God who heals.
