Stripes that Heal

The second place that Jesus shed His blood was at the whipping post. Under Jewish law, a prisoner could be given up to 40 lashes, but often they were only given 39 because 40 was often fatal. This is why it is believed that Jesus himself received 39 lashes. These 39 lashes represent the root of every disease. He took them all! Every blood disorder, every mental disability, every physical and mental disease, He took them all!!

Some say God doesn't heal anymore, but the Bible says," Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

Some say God *can* heal, but does He want to?Think about the man with leprosy who came to Jesus and begged Him, " If you are willing, you can make me clean." ( Mark 1:40-41 ) Did Jesus turn him away and say "Nah, not today. I'm not willing to do that anymore."? No he did not. Instead, He touched the man and said, " I am willing. Be clean!"

God, and therefore Jesus, is not a respecter of persons, meaning He does not favor one over another. If He did it for one, He will do it for all. We must come boldly into the throne room and call our healing in! "If it be thy will" is the same as not knowing the will of God. Jesus came so that we "may have life and have it more abundantly." Jesus brought us life, not death, blessings, not curses. It IS His will that we live and be healthy.

Our salvation starts with the forgiveness of our sins, but it doesn't stop there. It goes further into deliverance, healing and freedom!

Again, this is based on "Free at Last" by Larry Huch. This is only a quick overview, some highlights if you will. Please experience the total revelation!

Prayer: " Oh Lord, that we may truly understand the depth of Your love. That You came to earth, walked as a man and took upon Yourself not only the pain and agony of being tortured and killed, but You took on the shame and humiliation of sin in all forms so that we may be free. Let us begin to experience Your freedom! Thank you Lord Jesus for your wonderful salvation. Let us never take it for granted, but always strive to become more like You. To love like You, to live like You. In the Name of Jesus I pray and plead the blood of Jesus over my life today. Amen."
