WHEN SYMPTOMS COME

I Am the Lord That Healeth Thee

Exodus 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

If you diligently – shama - hear and obey His Word, do and keep His commandments – instructions for life and health, Sickness won't even come to you; if it does, He heals you.

Psalm 105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

He Saved, Delivered, Prospered, and Healed All, No need for hospitals or Banks

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1.      Griefs – choliy – disease, sickness

2.      Sorrows – makob – pain

3.      Transgressions – pesha – sin, trespass

4.      Iniquities – avon - fault, punishment for wickedness

5.      Healed – rapha – mend, cure, repair, make whole

     Jesus took 39 Stripes on His back for every source of disease

SALVATION AND HEALING WERE PAID FOR ON THE CROSS

1 Peter 2:24 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.

·         Jesus saved us on the cross

·         Jesus healed us on the cross

We see here that healing for the body is provided in the same redemption as salvation for the spirit.

·         In redemption, there is both physical and spiritual healing

·         If you are saved, you should be healed.

·         If you are healed, you should be saved

APPLICATION THROUGH FAITH

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

·         Saved by Grace – sozo – save, deliver, heal, make whole

·         Application Through Faith – pistis – truth of God, inward assurance, trust, confidence

·         Faith is believing God will do what He promised

o   Grace – Chair

o   Faith – Sitting in the chair

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

·         You must be born again to enter into the Kingdom blessings

Looking forward to our discussion
