HEALING

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. Isaiah 53:5

When Jesus was raised from the dead, was He still carrying sicknesses and diseases? No, He was raised with a perfect, glorified body. So where did He leave our sicknesses and diseases He took in His body? He left them in hell. Jesus died and descended to the depths of hell, carrying our sicknesses and diseases. But when He was raised from the dead, He came forth a glorious man. Therefore, when we are born again, healing is ours to claim!

When we confess Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we are declaring that His work of redemption was done on our behalf. We affirm that the punishment of our peace was laid upon Him. He died for our sins; by His stripes we were healed. When we believe that He was raised from the dead in glory, we are declared innocent and therefore free from all the penalties of sin. If, as the Bible says, as He is in heaven, so are we, then we must also walk in divine health.

Here’s another question: If God didn’t want us healed, why did Jesus bear those stripes before He went to the Cross? That was one part of His suffering He could have bypassed. But He did it by choice. He received those stripes for a purpose. And that purpose is clearly stated in the scriptures: By His stripes we were healed.

Healing is a firmly established fact. Now we just need to get the revelation in our own spirits that healing is God’s will for us. When we do, we will start walking in the divine health Jesus purchased for us with those stripes on His back.

Make the following confession: Jesus willingly paid the price for me. He took my sickness; He gave me His health. I appropriate what the Lord did for me and receive my healing now.

Prayer: Command every sickness and disease to depart from your body in Jesus’ name and declare divine health for yourself and your family.

Scriptural Reading: Isaiah 53:1-12

1 Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him.

3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.

5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
