Healed to Know Him: How Health and Knowing Jesus Go Hand in Hand

‍

Intro

Yo, most folks don’t see the connection—but health and knowing Jesus?

They go hand in hand.

Some think knowing Jesus is just about church, prayer, and heaven talk.

But Jesus came to give life—and that includes your body, your habits, and your mind.

‍

But Jesus didn’t just come to fix your spirit—He came to restore your whole life.

If you’re worn out, burnt out, sick, and stuck—He sees it.

And He didn’t leave you in that condition.

Let’s talk about what it really means to be healed to know Him.

‍

1: Health Matters to Jesus Because You Matter to Jesus

Jesus didn’t just walk around preaching—He healed bodies, lifted minds, and brought full restoration.

Everywhere He went, He met people in their suffering—physically and spiritually.

‍

Matthew 9:35 says:

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages… healing every sickness and every disease among the people.”

That means:

• Healing was part of His mission, not a bonus.

• He didn’t separate the body from the breath—He restored both.

• When Jesus sees your pain, He moves with compassion.

Your health matters because YOU matter—to the One who made you and died for you.

‍

2: You’re a Living Soul—Body + Breath Made by God

Let’s talk soul for a second—because the Bible ain’t vague about it.

You’re not a ghost trapped in a body—you are a living soul.

‍

Genesis 2:7 says:

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

That means:

• Your body and breath together make you a soul.

• When the breath leaves, the soul no longer lives.

• So if Jesus came to save souls—He came to restore the whole person.

Your physical health is part of your soul-care.

‍

3: A Healthy Body Helps You Walk in Your Purpose

You can’t serve well when your body’s always shut down.

Jesus didn’t create you to run on empty.

He wants you strong—mentally, spiritually, physically—so you can show up and pour out.

‍

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says:

“Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit… Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

That means:

• Taking care of your health is a way to honor God.

• It’s not about perfection—it’s about stewardship.

• The more you invest in your health, the more ready you are to do His will.

You weren’t made to barely survive—you were made to move with purpose.

‍

Conclusion

Healing is about more than recovery—it’s about relationship.

Jesus didn’t just fix people up so they could go back to life as usual.

He healed them so they could walk in deeper relationship with Him.

Your health ain’t just for you—it’s for the mission He gave you.

So let me ask you:

‍

Are you treating your health like a side note, or a setup to know Him more fully?

‍

Call to Action (CTA)

Start with one step today:

Stretch. Breathe. Eat clean. Take a walk.

But more than that—ask Jesus to walk with you through your healing.

Let Him align your body with His purpose.

Let Him restore the parts that feel broken.

‍

You’re not healing just to feel better—you’re healing to know Him deeper.

‍

What to Hold Onto

You’re a living soul—formed by God, filled with breath, and made for something greater.

Jesus came not just to save you—but to heal you, walk with you, and restore the full you.

So take care of the temple.

Let Him do the work.

And walk in the kind of health that helps you know Him more.

‍

Fully alive. Fully surrendered. Fully His.
