THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 42.

Matthew 8:16-17 (KJV) When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Isaiah 53:4-5 (KJV) Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Psalm 107:20; 1Peter 2:24; 5:8-9; John 10:10; Acts 10:38; Romans 8:1-2; Galatians 3:13-14; 2Corinthians 5:21; James 4:7; Mark 16:17-18; Ephesians 4:27;

Today we continue our study series titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

50. The bible says in 1Peter 2:24 that by his (Jesus) stripes (wounds) we were healed. The redemptive plan of God for us in Christ was to destroy sickness through the body of Jesus. Jesus being born without sin and having no sin there was no other way God could make Him sick on our behalf. Hence on His way to the cross Jesus was beaten with many stripes and wounded all over His body. By this wounds He became not only sick for us but He became sickness on our behalf taking on Himself every sickness that was and is and is to come to man in this life.

With our sicknesses and diseases on Him, Jesus died on the cross. No matter how powerful a sickness its power and purpose terminates when the person dies. More so every sickness dies with the person when the sick person dies. Hence when Jesus died with all our sicknesses and diseases He terminated the power of sickness over all men. All the sickness we face today is the devil trying to find out if we know our rights and privileges in Christ. Jesus did not take away sin, sickness and diseases from the devil but He destroyed only its power and authority over man which includes you.

By the resurrection of Jesus sickness has no justifiable reason to remain in your body or life because Jesus had taken them all and destroyed them all at His death on your behalf. As a result, every sickness today is a lie of the devil upon you. By the power in the resurrected name of Jesus no sickness must be permitted in your body. Every sickness comes first with symptoms or pains. Every symptoms is the sickness seeking permission to come in to your body after Jesus had destroyed them on your behalf. If you do nothing or only complain or see it as normal you have accepted his invitation into your body and it will now become no more symptoms but full blown sickness and diseases. But remember the bible says in Matthew 8:17 (KJV) "...... Himself (Jesus) took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." Isaiah 53:4-5; 1Peter 2:24; 5:8-9; 3John 2; John 10:10, Psalm 91:16; 107:20; 118:17; 2Corinthians 5:21; James 4:7; Mark 16:17-18; Ephesians 4:27;

The bottom line of all what we are saying is that God wants you to begin to see yourself in the eyes and light of all that the resurrection of Jesus has done for you and has made you. And no more in your fleshly natural sin nature so that you can begin to enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the mystery of the resurrection power which includes eternal life and freedom from sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, demonic oppression, fear, doubts, anxieties and death.

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. The time is very short. Choose Jesus today.
You can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Grace be with you.
