HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
Today's scriptures are about the healing power of the Blood of Jesus Christ. How many times have you thanked Jesus today? Jesus takes on every bad thing that's inside of us, and purifies it. He's responsible for our life as we know it, and every aspect of our growth. His blood makes us whole, healthy, happy, peaceful, and just overall blessed. God give Him power over all things on this earth, and by His blood we have received power as well. All we need is a little faith, and everything that we ask, in His Name, will be granted, including the healing of any sicknesses, heartache, or pain. When we cast our cares upon Him, and leave them there, He'll work it out for our good. Jesus fulfilled everything that was prophesied about Him, and to this very day He continues to live and heal.
There are many accounts of the adult life of Jesus, written in the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The most popular stories about Jesus were the ones about the miracles and wonders He performed. These miraculous acts were all themed around faith. He only healed those who believed that He could, and He loved them deeply. He didn't separate the good and bad people, or weigh His decision on how many sins those people committed, but He saw their heart. He never asked them how they got sick, or never pondered over what could've made them disabled, but He simply healed them; no questions asked. He still intercedes for those of us who love and believe in Him; as if He's here, and we're able to touch the bottom of His robe.
After Jesus' death and resurrection, He appeared to His disciples on the third day, just as He'd promised. He was with them, but disguised Himself so that they wouldn’t recognize who He was. He traveled with them, but it was getting dark and they asked Him to stay and have dinner with them. It's written: When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" (Luke 24:30-32) Just as in this story Jesus walks with us each day. Even when the story said “He disappeared”, He was still with those men. When we’re sick, or weak in our mind, body, and/or spirit, it seems like we’re all alone, but never fear Jesus is with us each step of the way. Sometimes He’s right in front of us, but disguised as someone else; you can tell by that warm feeling in your heart.
Jesus came to the disciples again, one last time before His ascension into Heaven. It’s written: Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." (Luke 24:45-49) When Jesus died, He not only afforded Salvation to the otherwise lost, but He also “clothed us with power from on high”. This power is given to each person that believes that He is Christ, and it also gives us the authority to heal and be healed in His Name. Hallelujah!
We find some of God’s promises about our Savior, written by the Prophet Isaiah. It’s written: But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. (Isa. 53:5) Jesus confirmed this prophesy fulfilled when He broke bread with His disciples, shortly before He went to be with His Father in Heaven. Remember, when He broke the bread at the last supper, Jesus said “Take, eat; this is My body broken for you”? (Matt. 26:26) Jesus endured so much just so that we wouldn’t have to. He had mercy on us, and gave us an incredible blessing, which allows us to live in victory. From this day forward, don’t allow the enemy to keep you under any type of bondage. Ask for healing over anything that ails you, in the Name of Jesus, and at the same time claim that healing, and thank Him for it. Each day Praise God for the healing you’ve received and watch your situation get better. Sometimes it’s a process, but continue to believe in Him, because He’ll never forsake you.
It’s amazing how many things there are that could makes us sick, and not just physically, but mentally. Jesus gives us freedom from all types of illnesses-things and/or people that pollute our mind, body and spirit. We must be diligent in seeking Him, and learning His promises, living in the way that He taught us, in order to stay healthy all the way around. Think of how He was killed for us; hung, bled, and died for the sake of our wholeness. Faith is all we need to achieve complete wholeness in Christ. It has nothing to do with our circumstance, but with Who and What’s on the inside of us. If you don’t know where you stand in Christ, take a few moments to take the God Quiz today. My favorite verse today is: Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. (Matt 8:17)
