We who believe in Jesus Christ know that one of His names is Jehovah Rapha, He is the great physcian. He can and does heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper and still casts out demons. Our God is alive, living, seated at the right hand of the Father in heavenly realms. He is the alpha and omega, that means He is the beginning of a thing and the end of it as well. He is sovereign, all-knowing, and all powerful. He is God alone and there is none like Him. Because of who He is, we are who we are, for we are created as a shadow, a direct representation of who He is. We are image bearers of the Great I Am; we are ambassadors of Christ; we are children of the Most High God.

All of this truth is what caused Proverbs 17:22 to have such an impact on me this morning as I sit here in Conroe, TX with the Lord. Here is what Solomon said, “A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.” Joy is medicine, it heals us in ways nothing else can. Proverbs 16 says, “In the presence of God there is fullness of joy.” With so many people in the body of Christ sick both physically and emotionally, I sense this morning God is about to give us a prescription for joy. Joy is medicine from heaven that heals deep places in our soul, spirit and body. Joy is the answer to our deepest problems, but joy is not circumstantial, joy is the presence of a person, joy is the presence of God.

Many hearts are broken, bruised and have been beaten up, the reasons for this are wide and varied, but I prophecy to you today, joy is our medicine from heaven and it is going to heal us in such a deep way. Joy is not an emotion, it is the presence of God. Joy will evoke emotion, but it is not an emotion. Healing is coming to the church on so many levels and I believe it is coming as joy, for it is medicine from heaven to heal us and we have tried so many other ways to be healed, yet are still sick, so I believe God is about to innoculate us with joy and we are going to get healed and then release healing to others and it will be the medicine called joy!!!!
