Topic: By His Stripes
MEMORISE: 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. 1 Peter 2:24
READ: Isaiah 53:4-6
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.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 7-9; Luke 13:1-21
MESSAGE:
Are you experiencing been experiencing any form of sickness? Has the doctor said you have a medical condition that requires surgery? Is there anything amiss in your body? I have good news for you today, by the stripes of Jesus Christ, you are healed.
Jesus’ body was afflicted so that your body will not be afflicted. He took strokes of the cane and endured great pain so that your body will not be tampered with and you will not experience any pain. His stripes are real and they heal. I have been enjoying this healing power for over forty years now. I am an old man now and my body is still strong as ever because Jesus’ stripes are working for me. His stripes can work for you too and make you completely whole. All you have to do is surrender your life to Christ and live holy. Sin opens you up to sicknesses. In John 5:14, after Jesus healed the man at the pool of Bethesda, He told him hat if he committed sin again, a worse sickness would come upon him. That is proof that sin opens you up to sickness and Jesus’ suffering at Calvary can only work for someone whose sins are first washed away by His blood.
Having settles the issue of sin, speak to your body and command any sickness inside of it to get out in Jesus’ name. Tell your body that it is the temple of the Most High God and so sickness cannot stay in there. I join my faith with your today and decree that you are healed in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point: Father, let your stripes heal every sickness and disease in my body today in Jesus’ name.
Hymn 14: Pass me not, O gentle Saviour
1.Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Chorus:
Saviour, Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling;
Do not pass me by.
2.Let me, at Thy throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief;
Kneeling there in deep contrition,
Help my unbelief.
3.Trusting only in Thy merit
Would I seek Thy face
Heal my wounded, broken spirit,
Save me by Thy grace.
4.Thou, the spring of all my comfort,
More than life to me.
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heaven but Thee
