Healing may be controversial, but it is biblical, and yes, healing is for today. God created the human body, and it is a marvelous creation. It was created to always be strong and healthy. Then why does it so oftentimes get sick? From the time that Adam and Eve willing sinned against God, the world and everything within it fell. And it’s at this time of the original sin that corruption came into the world and into the physical body as well. But God had a plan, and it would include divine healing for our physical bodies today.
And because of the Fall God designed a plan of Redemption that would purchase back all that had been corrupted and lost, including divine health and healing for us. Whether it be spiritual, mental or emotional, or physical healing—Jesus paid the price, once and for al. And nowhere in Scripture will we find that He removed from His blood covenant His healing power for us today. Nor will we find an amendment to what was done at the whipping post to heal all that will believe in it.
Isaiah 53:4-5, (AMPC) records these foundational Scriptures about what Jesus did for us and because of us. “Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy].
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.”
To propose that supernatural healing is not for today is blasphemous against the blood of Jesus shed at the whipping post to purchase all healing for us. To suggest that God put sickness and disease upon your body for any reason whatsoever goes against the Word of God that declares “By His stripes we are healed”. And to say that He put this illness upon your body for a good reason is a works mentality and you lack a true understanding of grace. To declare that God chose not heal you or your loved one is to call God a liar, It not only declares war against all that Jesus did for us at the Calvary, but it implies that God and His Word are not to be trusted when He ensures us that “He is not a man that He should lie.” (See Numbers 23:19.) And that “He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (See Hebrews 13:8.)
Why then does your healing take time to manifest? Or why does it not manifest at all? According to the words of Jesus, “Your faith makes you whole.” Faith in what? Faith in the redemptive blood of Jesus to heal. And faith is trust. And this is the first step to supernatural healing in Jesus, to have faith in the power of His blood to heal you. And we will discuss this further in my next post.
