But He was wounded[a] for our transgressions,
He was [b]bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes[c] we are healed.
who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose [a]stripes you were healed.
Healing is children’s bread in Christ. We ought not to suffer any form of pain and discomfort under the weight or burden of sicknesses and diseases. We ought not to bear any of such burdens at all. We ought not to live in health one moment, and down the next. No, a million times no! In Christ’s redemptive work for humanity, He paid the full price for our wholeness, for our peace. We have every right and privilege in Christ to live in health all the days of our lives, every step of the way on our journey in destiny. God laid your shame, pain, sicknesses and diseases upon Jesus Christ at Calvary, when He took your place as your substitute. God made Him sin with your sins, He made Him sick with your sicknesses, and made Him poor with your poverty. Jesus Christ fully took your place of weakness and illness, that you might fully take His place of health. It was a substitutionary work that He did for you. It was not a rescue, a rescue was involved though. But it was much more that a rescue. He took your place, and now you have His place to take. Hallelujah! He was not sick before He took your place of sickness and weakness, how then are you sick now that you have taken His place and you call Him the Lord of your life? Affliction ought not to rise up the second time! Shake the beast into the fire and live in health. Health is yours now as much as it will be in the world to come. Jesus has paid the full price for your wholeness, the chastisement required for your peace has been laid upon Him, and with His stripes, you are healed – fully restored to health! Hallelujah!!! You believe it, and it is so in your case.
Isaiah 53:1 tells us, “Who has believed our report, and unto whom is the arm of the Lord revealed”. The arm of the Lord is strength and salvation. When faith is reposed in the Lord’s report of what Christ has done for us in His substitutionary work, healing takes its root in the body. Take God’s Word for it, at face value. Put it in your mouth and in your heart. Act upon it like it is true in your case, because it is, and health will surge in you greatly, from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet. Amen!!!
My Solid Front (Confession):
Thank You Heavenly Father, for giving Your Son to die in my stead. Thank You for restoring me back to perfect health in Christ. I declare and decree that by the stripes of Jesus, I am healed. Hallelujah!!!
