Three times in the Old and New Testament there is a declaration that by the stripes of Jesus, we have been healed. Many people think that it was just our sinfulness that was healed, but we would be leaving out huge portions of scripture if we believed that. The healing that happened on the cross was our mental healing, physical healing as well as our spiritual healing. It is like a three-legged stool. With only one leg, it will topple over, but needs all three to support weight.
Everywhere Jesus went He healed the sick. Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Matthew 9:35 Then when Jesus was ready to ascend to Heaven after His resurrection, He gave his last commandment Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature…..they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. Mark 16:15, 18
When Jesus told the disciples to Go, He meant for His people to Go! We are to take up that cross and help people, just like Jesus did when He was alive. We are to teach about the Good News and then lay hands on the sick that they may recover.
As I have traveled all over the world, I have seen the sick recover, the lame walk, the blind eyes open and the deaf ears hear again. It wasn’t just for the disciples. Jesus wasn’t just talking to that present generation, but to all generations until His return.
My passion is to teach that it IS God’s will to heal, that we don’t have to accept the sickness and prognosis that the doctors give. We have the power, the Holy Spirit, within us to defeat ALL the weapons of the enemy which includes fear, sickness and poverty.
Jesus died to destroy the works of the devil and yet we live lives that accept those works of the devil as real and truth. What about Jesus truth? What about Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross to defeat sin, sickness and death? Let us gain the real Truth and start acting like we are heirs of God and Joint Heirs of Jesus Christ.
I have many messages on healing that will get people thinking about their authority in Christ, how to accept the completed redemption of Christ, and then receive their healing. We must know that it has always been God’s will that we live a long life. He shall call upon Me and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him, with long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation. Psalm 91:15,16
Salvation in the Greek is SOZO which means: saved, healed and delivered. that 3-legged stool To deliver, preserved, wholeness, to do well, protect. When we accept the salvation of Christ, we accept everything He did on the cross. It is time we accept our wholeness and walk in health with the gift of healing that Jesus provided for us.
