Consider this, that the next time you go to see a doctor. Are you going because you look to Jesus as your Healer or are you going to the doctor because it is normal for you to do so. I did not mean that you cannot go to the doctor, but who do you look to as your Healer.
King Asa had a disease which can be easily healed by God. There is no Incurable Diseases with God. But he chose to look to physicians instead.
2Ch 16:12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
What happened to King Asa? He died in his disease.
Not all physicians/doctors are helping to heal your body. In fact, some doctors actually cause more sufferings and no easing of pain.
This woman in Mark 5:25 – suffered under the hand of doctors. And I thought that doctors are supposed to either help to heal the sick or at least alleviate the pain. But no, these doctors actually caused the woman to suffer more.
Mar 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
Mar 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
So maybe, you are thinking, that these things only happen in the Bible days for King Asa and the woman with the hemorrhage.
Well, it may shock you to know that in 2000, doctors were contributing to the deaths of patients to the tune of 225,000 per year in America. This is reported in the American Medical Association (association for American doctors).
ALL THESE ARE DEATHS PER YEAR:
- 12,000 -- unnecessary surgery
- 7,000 -- medication errors in hospitals
- 20,000 -- other errors in hospitals
- 80,000 -- infections in hospitals
- 106,000 -- non-error, negative effects of drugs
A newer report in 2008 reveals that Medical Mistakes made by doctors are killing 100,000 Americans a year.
(Note: and we know that America is exporting Western Medicine throughout the whole world).

The next time you are not well, and your mind instantly switch to go to the doctor, Please switch your mind to instantly go to Jesus, our Great Healer.
Modern Medicine only began about 100+ years ago. Jesus began Healing his creation (you and me) every since creation began.

I dedicate this post to a friend of mind who lost his son because the doctors from the well-known private hospital killed him.
The boy was a happy, energetic teenager, who had headaches one in a while. The father took him to see several specialists, who prescribed several cocktail of medicine during different periods of time.
Those medication not only increased his headaches but gave him epileptic convulsions, migraines, and left him almost like a vegetable. He died eventually.
The father calls those doctors “salesmen for pharmaceutical companies” after he had spent so much of time and money, and eventually they killed his son.

Note: My family almost suffered similar fate, if without the intervention of my Heavenly Father.
