Health Message (March 28, 2026)

Blessed Sabbath Church Family,

Today I thought it would be inspiring to talk about prayer and your health.

“And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.” Deuteronomy 12:15

“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” James 5:14-15

God has promised that when we pray in faith that He will be our healing. I believe in His promises and secular science has had to admit that there is a difference in the healing that occurs in their patience who pray.

Ben Carson (SDA famous Neurosurgeon) has also shared some stories of how prayer has helped him in the operating room, such as when he performed the first successful separation of conjoined twins joined at the back of the head in 19873. He said that he prayed for God to show him what to do when he faced a difficult situation during the surgery, and that he felt a peace and a confidence that God was with him. He also said that he prayed for the famous conjoined twins and their parents, and that he was amazed by their recovery and development.

“The Scripture says that “men ought always to pray, and not to faint” (Luke 18:1); and if ever there is a time when they feel their need of prayer, it is when strength fails and life itself seems slipping from their grasp. Often those who are in health forget the wonderful mercies continued to them day by day, year after year, and they render no tribute of praise to God for His benefits. But when sickness comes, God is

remembered. When human strength fails, men feel their need of divine help. And never does our merciful God turn from the soul that in sincerity seeks Him for help. He is our refuge in sickness as in health.” (MH EGW)
