"Healing: God's Provision for You!"
God has made
provision for our healing. In Matthew 8:17 Jesus
said that He bore our sicknesses and took our
infirmities. If He bore ours' on the cross, we
don't have any to bear! He took our sickness the
same way He took our sin - by bearing it on
Himself on the cross.
1 Peter 2:24 says, "Who his own
self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
The same sacrifice for our sin was the sacrifice
for our healing. Notice the latter part of this
verse, "by whose stripes ye were healed."
Doesn't this mean "spiritual healing", that is,
the healing of our spirit to God, being saved?
NO! The Greek word used in this verse (iaomai)
means to be "physically cured." To be made
whole! Praise God! Healing is for us as
Christians! |
Now, how do we obtain this healing
that God has provided? The first thing that you need to do is listen
to God's Word concerning healing. Faith for healing comes from
hearing the Word concerning healing (Romans 10:17). This is true of
any Bible subject. If you listen to teaching concerning salvation
you'll get saved; if you listen to the Word concerning the Baptism
of the Holy Ghost, you'll receive that experience. God's Word is
medicine (Proverbs 4:20-23). Take it daily! Then you need to act on
God's Word. If you are healed (Isaiah 53:4,5) indeed, if you were
(past tense) healed (1 Peter 2:24), then you need to confess, "I am
healed! I don't care what my body says. I'm not walking by what my
five physical senses tell me, I'm a believer, I walk by faith! (II
Corinthians 5:7)" Act like you're healed, confess that you're healed
(Mark 11:22-24; Romans 4:17-25), The manifestation in the physical
realm will come!
