Yesterday we looked at some powerful Scripture verses that describe how Jesus provided for our physical healing. We will look at another one today. The Apostle Peter had this to say:

1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)
24Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

We see almost the same things said of Jesus here that we found in Isaiah 53. "His own self" refers to the Lord Jesus. He "bare", the Greek word, anaphero, which means: to take up, to take upon oneself. What did He take? He took upon Himself our sins while on the cross. Why did He do that? So that we could have sin removed (be dead to) and to live as a righteous one (one in right-standing with God through the Blood of Jesus). And one more thing: By whose (His) "stripes",( the Greek word, molops, which means: a wound that trickles blood), we were (past tense) "healed", (the Greek word "iaomai", which means: healed or made whole.

Do you get the picture that God WANTS you healed and made whole? If not, you need to meditate some more until His Word gets inside of you to the point where you really believe it! Then you can begin to act on God's word and watch Him confirm that Word!

Mark 16:20 (Amplified)
20And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied [it]. Amen (so be it).

God WILL confirm or establish His Word with signs (miracles) following our speaking that Word! We need to find out what God has to say about every area of our lives and then believe His Word and begin to SAY it, so that He CAN confirm it with "signs" and attesting miracles! Really pay attention to this next verse, it could and should change your life!

John 15:7 (Amplified)
7If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

That's one of the ways to receive healing from the Lord and His Word. Spend time in fellowship with Him and get His Word in you in abundance, then YOU can speak to every symptom of sickness and disease and command it to leave your body, in Jesus Name! And that sickness and disease HAS TO leave!

Keep meditating on the Word for yourself so that you can better understand what God has prepared for you! And then speak out of your own mouth exactly what the Word says about you. Then you BEGIN to walk in what He has promised in His Word.

Shalom in Him!
