Q: If I believe I’m healed, should I stop taking medications or receiving treatments?
Published on March 21, 2025
A:
It’s important to know that there is nothing spiritually wrong with taking medicine. It is perfectly acceptable to attack sickness on both the natural and the spiritual level.
Not taking medicine is not what will get you healed. Faith in God and His Word that says, “By His stripes you were healed,” is what brings healing. His Word makes it clear that in His great love, God wants all His people well. In many cases, a person’s faith may not be developed enough to receive healing without taking medicine.
Not taking medicine is not an act of faith if you were not instructed to do so by God. When it comes to whether or not to continue taking medicine or undergoing treatments, you need to hear counsel from God. Until you do, keep taking your medicine in faith, and be sure to pray over it as you do!
