Bill Stockham | PentecostalTheology.com[Jesus paid for our healing, but that doesn’t mean we will automatically be healed. We need to reach out, by FAITH, AND RECEIVE what Jesus did for us! Jesus died for the sins of the world, that doesn’t mean that the world will automatically be saved, they have to reach out by faith and receive what Jesus did for them!!] “If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees…FOR I AM THE LORD, WHO HEALS YOU.” (Exo. 15:26) “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “BY HIS WOUNDS YOU HAVE BEEN HEALED.” (1 Pet. 2:24) [Jesus suffered 39 stripes or lashings on His back JUST FOR OUR HEALING. 40 stripes was the point where most people died, because the torture was so unbearable for any person to handle. This wasn’t for our sins; this shed blood was solely for our healing! Our healing must mean a great deal to our Abba Father to allow Jesus to go through near death JUST for our healing! Our healing has been paid for WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS! We cannot let the devil tell us otherwise!] “Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and BY HIS WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED.” (Isa. 53:4-5) [Investigate my conduct Abba Father, examine my heart, put me to the test, and show me what I need to meditate on!] “As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ HEAL THE SICK, raise the dead…Freely you have received; freely give.” (Matt. 10:7-8) [WE MUST REACH OUT AND RECEIVE WHAT JESUS HAS GIVEN US BY FAITH! We, as believers, are entitled to our healing, but if we don’t reach out by faith and accept what was given to us, it won’t be demonstrated in our lives!] “Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and YOUR HEALING WILL QUICKLY APPEAR; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.” (Isa. 58:8)
Be blessed as you praise The Lord, knowing that OUR HEALING WILL QUICKLY APPEAR!
