John 6:35 “And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”

Water—Ps.23:2 “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.” Ps.42:1 “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God.” Psalms 105:41 “He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river.” Isa.12:3 “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.”

Take away Sickness

Diseases of the land—Deut.7:15 “And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.” Deut.28:61 “Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.”

2. Cause of Sickness—Sin nature: Shall surley die. Sinful acts---2 Sam.12:15 “And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.”

3. Lack of Hope—Prov.13:12 “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”

4. will of God—John 11:4 “When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.”

5. Correct prospective---Matt.8:17 “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” (Isa.53:4-6 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, And carried our sorrows: Yet we did esteem him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: The chastisement of our peace was upon him; And with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned every one to his own way; And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” )
