Summary: The WORD of God is the living WORD that sets us free from every kind of sickness and disease.
God loves us all and cares for us all. He loved us that much He made His Son to die for us and for our sin.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!
Jesus died a very painful and horrible death for us to be free from all kinds of sicknesses, diseases and poverty. The Bible records this in:
Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
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.
Another translation records it this way:
But he endured the suffering that should have been ours,
the pain that we should have borne.
All the while we thought that his suffering
was punishment sent by God.
But because of our sins he was wounded,
beaten because of the evil we did.
We are healed by the punishment he suffered,
made whole by the blows he received. GNT
On the cross and even before Jesus was on the cross He took all the pain and suffering that we would ever have here on earth. This is what the WORD says that Jesus' Name is above any other name.
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
Every name of any sickness or disease can never be above the Name of Jesus. Jesus Name is much more powerful than any named disease that is named or that will be named in this realm.
Jesus shed His blood from the time that He was arrested to the time of his death on the cross, He took all our sicknesses our diseases and our poverty so that we can be free from it all.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
When we receive the gift of salvation we are immediately set free from the curse and get the blessings of Abraham. We are not to be under those curses, we have a covenant right to expect God's blessing in every area of our lives.
What Is A Curse?
A solemn utterance intended to invoke a supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on someone or something.
An offensive word or phrase used to express anger or annoyance.
It's a dirty word.
To say magic words that are intended to bring bad luck to someone.
Therefore, the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ has delivered us from every curse. Amen
The punishment that He took in His body in our place has set us free from any form of curse. He took it all for our peace and freedom. We have peace in our body, soul and spirit as we put our faith in God and His WORD.
When Jesus was here on earth he healed all those who had faith in Him and wherever He went Jesus would say this words to people;
ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH
What is faith?
Faith is choosing to believe what God has said to us in His WORD.
Faith is trusting in God in all circumstances of life.
Therefore, when we choose to believe what God has said to us concerning our healing or any area of our lives that we need help with, As we believe and trust in Him according to our faith we receive the promise in His Name.
How do we get faith?
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. NKJV
So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ. AMP
So then, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message comes through preaching Christ. GNT
Faith is received by hearing and hearing the WORD of God. We need to constantly read and meditate on the WORD of God. The WORD Of God is living and powerful and believing His WORD gives us our breakthrough to His glory. - Joshua 1:8
