NATURAL HEALING
Natural Healing
Natural healing is a feature that God created in all plant, animal and human life. The information needed to effect a great deal of healing in the human body is part of our genetic code. Natural healing is the type of healing that occurs most often. It is truly a gift from God, but most people don’t even give it a second thought.
There is ample evidence for Natural Healing in the Bible (Leviticus 13:18, 37; Joshua 5:8) because God created us (Psalms 139:13) carries (sustains) us, and rescues us (Isaiah 46:4). We must be careful to be truthful about what is Natural Healing versus Divine Healing. They are two radically different processes.
(a) Slow
Natural Healing is, for many reasons, a slow process. Over time the body heals itself, giving itself time to rest and recoup.
(b) May or may not last
Natural Healing usually lasts until the next sickness, injury or other problem presents itself. But Natural Healing is not always a cure all. There are times when the body is overwhelmed and, without outside help, it cannot heal itself. Also, if the body becomes weakened, such as a weak immune system, the body may no longer be able to repair itself and disease may continually reoccur.
(c) Verifiable and hard to verify
Natural healing is many times verifiable because it is obvious when a person gets better, when a cut heals, etc. But it can also occur yet be mistaken for other types of healing. A person may think the pill they are taking for Medicinal Healing cured them, but it could be mainly due to Natural Healing or other types of healing.
(d) God deserves the glory, mostly glory is given to the evolution of man
Though God deserves all the glory for creating our bodies with the wonderful ability to repair themselves, most of the glory these days is being given to the evolution of man. I believe that the Bible teaches that we are actually devolved from the pure genetic code of Adam and Eve and those who lived before the flood. Unfortunately man often glories in his own abilities and attributes without giving credit where credit is ultimately due.
Natural Healing happens over and over through the lifetime of the individual. Biblical Divine Healing is a one time event dealing with a specific disease. God has provided the body with marvelous self healing functions. But Natural Healing is not Biblical Divine Healing. God had blessed Human Beings with self Healing ability also and can work through Natural Healing. For which we have to give Glory to the God through his Son Lord Jesus Christ; but it is different than Biblical Divine Healing as was demonstrated by the Lord Jesus Christ and the Apostles.
