A diagnosis of prostate cancer often brings with it a heavy cloud of uncertainty and physical challenge. You may be supporting someone who is currently navigating symptoms like frequent or difficult urination, a persistent sense of pressure, or deep discomfort in the lower back and hips. These physical markers can weigh heavily on a person’s spirit, but it is important to remember that a strong spirit will sustain a man through his infirmity.
Healing is not merely a historical event we read about; it is a current reality provided by the “I AM.” When God revealed His redemptive name as Jehovah-Rapha, He didn’t say “I Was the Lord who healed you.” He said, “I Am.” To believe that health is not for God’s people today is to attempt to change the very nature of the One who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The Authority of the Word
We see a profound example of how healing operates through the account of the Centurion. He was a man who understood authority because of his occupation; he knew that when a command is given by a superior, it must be obeyed. He recognized that Jesus held supreme authority over all things, including sickness. His faith was so robust that he realized Jesus didn’t even need to be physically present to effect a change. He simply needed the Word to be spoken.
For someone facing prostate cancer, the “word” of a clinical diagnosis can feel final. While we respect the work of doctors and the natural reports they provide, we must be careful not to be affected by any voice more than the voice of God. If we attend only to the natural reports, our spirits can become weak and drained. We need the nourishment of the Truth to remain stirred up. Faith is not a passive waiting; it is a firm grasping of the will of the Lord.
Scripture 1: Hebrews 13:8
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
Redemption from the Curse
It is vital to understand that sickness is part of the curse from which we have been redeemed. If Jesus went to such great lengths to hang on a Cross and become accursed to set us free, it cannot be His will for us to remain bound by it. He “tasted death for every man,” and that sacrifice was a perfect remedy for the whole person—spirit, soul, and body.
Just as a sinner must accept the promise of salvation as true before they feel the joy of being saved, a person seeking health must often accept the promise as true before the physical feelings align. Symptoms and challenges will attempt to wear you down, but you have been given authority. You can choose to get in the “middle of the high road,” recognizing that while challenges are real, you have been empowered to overcome them. We are not just heirs of a promise; we are in a better covenant established upon better promises.
Scripture 2: Galatians 3:13
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.”
Removing the Barrier of Condemnation
Faith has a primary enemy: condemnation. It is the “confidence killer.” If a person feels unworthy, or if they are harboring guilt and shame from the past, it chokes off their ability to believe that God hears them. This is why we often see spiritual restoration and physical restoration going hand in hand. To have the confidence to act on the Word—to “get up and walk”—one must first be convinced that they are clean and right before God.
The blood of the Lamb is the only thing that can purge a guilty conscience. Once a person realizes they are “made right by the Blood,” the curse has no legal right to remain in their life. They can then look up with total confidence and say, “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed.” This confidence allows the life of God—His peace, purity, and strength—to flow through the body as a preserver of health.
Scripture 3: Jeremiah 17:14
“Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.”
Acting on the Promise
Many people believe they are waiting on God to move, but often, God is waiting for us to act on what He has already said. When God provides a promise, it is like a seed. For that seed to do its work, it must be put into the “good ground” of a heart that gives it diligent attention. We must refuse “old wives’ fables” and the tradition that says God uses sickness to teach us lessons. You will not find that anywhere in the ministry of Jesus. He never turned anyone away, and He never said, “I won’t.”
If you are encouraging someone today, remind them that they are “loaded with benefits.” Even if the natural world says a condition is hopeless or has reached a final stage, we serve the “Self-Existent One.” He is the strength of our life. Restoration may be a process that happens over time, or it may be a “now you see it, now you don’t” miracle, but the end result is always the same: wholeness.
Let the trumpet of “Jubilee” sound in your heart. Reclaim what has been stolen. Whether through the laying on of hands or the simple, quiet confidence in the Word, God’s heart is to make people whole. Stand firm, be faithful to where you are stationed, and expect the power of the Spirit to manifest health in every cell of the body.
