15 Powerful Scriptural Affirmations for Healing and Restoration

When we talk about healing and restoration, many attribute it to the sickness of the body. But it is often more than that. Sometimes, the sickness can be of the mind, from a heavy heart, from a bad situation that never seems to get better, or from feeling like you’ve lost your way. 

Whatever the situation is, there are scriptural affirmations you can use to get your healing and restoration. These affirmations help you look beyond the immediate situation to the solution in God’s word, causing the faith you need to cause a change to well up in your heart. 

In today’s post, I’ve compiled 15 powerful affirmations from the Bible for healing and restoration. These words will help your heart, mind, and body feel the peace and strength that only God can provide. But before we get into the affirmations, let’s understand what healing and restoration mean. 

Understanding Healing and Restoration

What is healing? What is restoration?

Healing is when something that was broken gets fixed. For example, if you scraped your knee, healing is the skin growing back. If you were sad because someone was mean to you, healing is letting it go and being happy. The goal of healing is to take away the pain and be “well” again. 

Restoration is different and bigger than healing. Restoration is getting back what was lost or stolen. Let’s use a broken-down car as an example. Healing means fixing the flat tyre so it can move. Restoration is repainting it, fixing the engine, and making it look brand new. Ultimately, restoration makes things better than they were before they broke.

If someone was sick of heart disease, healing is the disease going away, but the heart might still show signs of it. In restoration, the heart does not show that it was ever diseased, and any other part of the body that was affected will also look brand new. This is only possible by and with God. 

Why Do We Need Healing and Restoration?

Healing and restoration are both important, and you must have both to be whole. It’s like the ten lepers in the Bible whom Jesus healed. Only one came back to give thanks and was restored, meaning all the effects of leprosy were gone from his body, and he looked brand new. 

So, healing is always the first step towards restoration. We can be healed and still feel like something is missing. But when we are restored, there will be nothing missing or broken, and it will be like whatever situation or condition you were healed from never occurred. 

How Scriptural Affirmations Help Healing and Restoration

The Bible says to take with you words; in Proverbs, words are described as medicine. As such, when we affirm scriptures, we are doing these three things:

• Agreeing with what God has said about our health and life.
• Clearing out all the bad thoughts and focusing our gaze on God, the master physician. So, you go from thinking  “I’ll never get better” to “God is making me strong.”
• Inviting God’s power into the situation and showing we believe His words more than whatever medical report we have from the doctor.

Therefore, do not play with the role biblical affirmations play in your healing and restoration.
