BY HIS STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED
Who 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. I Pet.2;24
By His Stripes You were Healed. Don't let the devil tell you otherwise. It is God's sincere desire to see all His people well.
Jesus bore all of our infirmities so that we could live a life free from sickness and disease. Therefore, I can think of no greater testimony than to tell someone that by the power of God I have been healed.Jesus, the Great Physician, has never lost a patient.
Psalm 103:1-6 Bless the Lord, 0 my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, o my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
In this passage of Scripture, David is speaking to his soul. He commanded it to " ... bless the Lord." Commanding your soul to bless the Lord at all times is vital for your deliverance.
Why is this so important? The answer is two-fold: first, because it is God's command (psalm 66:8,9), and second, because your soul-your mind, will, and emotions-will always take the path of least resistance until it has been trained to bless the Lord (Romans 12:2).
Your soul will naturally go in the opposite direction of the Word of God. For example, if the Bible says, "By His Stripes, You were healed," your mind will say, "I'm sick." If the Word says, "You are delivered," your emotions will say, "I'll never be free." If the Word says, "You have a covenant promise of prosperity," your will will say, "I want to be poor to get closer to God."
Child of God, your soul will never, of its own accord, agree with the Word of God. It is imperative that you recall what God has done for you in order to obtain your covenant promise of healing.
Remind yourself of His covenant promises in every situation. By His Stripes you are healed. Bless the Lord by remembering the provisions He has made for you through the Anointed One and His Anointing, Jesus!
