Be healed…

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 NIV

Last night we were watching “The Passion of the Christ”, and as I watched with tears running down my face the depiction of what Jesus went through so that we might not only be saved, but that we also may be healed, the above scripture came alive! It was horrendous to watch, but so powerful. Watch time they hit Him, in the Spirit I was seeing different diseases be eradicated. I saw Cancer vanish as they beat Him, I saw AIDS vanish, I saw arthritis vanish, I saw depression vanish, I saw mental disorders vanish, I saw deformities vanish, I saw those that had been bound to wheel chairs get up, as He was tortured. I am here to tell you today, that not one of us has to be bound to any sickness, disease, virus, defect, etc. in our bodies or in our minds. As they brought Jesus for Judgment before Pontius Pilate, as they beat Him, as He carried His cross, and as He was nailed to the cross, He silently bore it all upon Himself for us…

“He was beaten down and punished, but he didn’t say a word. He was like a lamb being led to be killed. He was quiet, as a sheep is quiet while its wool is being cut; he never opened his mouth.” Isaiah 53:7 NCV

Jesus took in His body every affliction that would ever exist on the face of this earth. He took each and every one upon Himself…

“I gave My back to those who struck Me, And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting.” Isaiah 50:6 NKJV

His body was unrecognizable because of the beating, it was covered with the all of the sicknesses of the world…

“Many people were shocked when they saw him. His appearance was so damaged he did not look like a man; his form was so changed they could barely tell he was human.” Isaiah 52:14 NCV

This is what Jesus did for each and every one of us, it’s not “if it’s thy will Lord, then you will heal me/my loved ones”. No people of God, that is the wrong way of thinking, that is what “religion” has taught, but the Word does not say that. As we can see it was His perfect divine will that we be healed. If it wasn’t He wouldn’t have went through all of that torture, and the scripture wouldn’t say, “by His wounds we are healed.” If it was not His will, He wouldn’t have gone around healing all…Matthew 4:23, Matthew 8:16, Matthew 9:35, and on and on. If it wasn’t His will then He wouldn’t of gave us the command to lay hands on the sick, and He sure wouldn’t have said “and they shall recover, “(Mark 16:18). We do not have to be in pain, we do not have to be sick, we do not have to live with any virus or disease. Why would we bare upon ourselves that which He already bared upon Himself? Why would we suffer with that which He already suffered with? I’m here to tell you today people of God if you will grab a hold of what Jesus did for you on that cross concerning your healing, then you will be released from the captivity of all ailments. It’s time to stop just confessing the Word, it’s time to start to breathe in the Word, let the Word saturate in your heart, soul, and spirit, it’s time to let the Word heal your flesh (Proverbs 4:22). We can not continue to go forth in sickness preaching healing. It’s time people of God, for the body to be whole and healed, as God intended it to be. God bless!
