THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 45.

Matthew 8:16-17 (KJV) When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Isaiah 53:4-5 (KJV) 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.
Psalm 107:20; 1Peter 2:24; 5:8-9; John 10:10; Acts 10:38; Romans 8:1-2; Galatians 3:13-14; 2Corinthians 5:21; James 4:7; 5:14-15; Mark 16:17-18; Ephesians 4:27;

Today we continue our study series titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

53. Sickness and disease is not the will of God and can never be the will of God for anyone. Luke 4:18 (KJV) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
3John 1:2 (KJV) Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. No matter the person's past or present, no matter the sins past or present, no matter the sins of the parents, people or generational curse, sickness is never the will of God for any one. According to Genesis 8:22 and Galatians 6:7-9 most sickness and diseases is man reaping what he has sown not God punishing them. Even when you are reaping what you have sown the love, mercy and compassion of still wants to heal you as we see in many cases in the ministry of Jesus.

Even though the person was born in that state or condition, it is not the will of God for the person to be born that way. John 9:1-3 (KJVAnd as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. No matter a person's level of unbelief or doubt or rejection of God or Christ or rejection of divine healing, it is never the will of God for any man to be sick. In Luke 4:24-28-that only Naaman was healed was not the perfect will of God.

By the resurrection of Jesus God wants to heal all who come to Him in faith. If you want to know the will of God concerning sickness see the ministry of Jesus, the bible says He went about healing ALL that were oppressed by the devil. Jesus is the resurrection and the life not sickness or death. Jesus rose from the dead to give us power over sickness and death so that we can enjoy abundant life. Never wish anyone to be sick, never wish any sickness on anyone. Never reject or refuse to pray for the healing of anyone except God says so.

Never judge the will of God for anyone by the sickness in his body. John 5:14 does not mean that if he sins God will punish him with sickness but that he will open the door for a worse sickness. God does not put sickness on people to teach them a lesson or for them to learn obedience or to make them humble or pius. Sickness is not a part of the suffering, afflictions and tribulations we have to suffer as Christians. Phillipians1:29, 2Corinthians 11:22-33, 12:7-10 tells us the kind of afflictions permitted in the life of a Christian. Jesus even healed on the Sabbath day to prove that nothing should stand on the way of God's desire to heal. Sickness is only and always the will of the devil. Healing and health is only and always the will and desire of God for you. John 5:6 shows us that it is God that is waiting for us to receive our healing and not man waiting for God. Acts 10:38; Mark 1:40-42; Genesis 8:20-22, 49:2-7, 2Kings 5:27; Luke 13:10-17; John 5:1-10; Matthew 4:23-25;

The bottom line of all what we are saying is that God wants you to begin to see yourself in the eyes and light of all that the resurrection of Jesus has done for you and has made you. And no more in your fleshly natural sin nature so that you can begin to enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the mystery of the resurrection power which includes eternal life and freedom from sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, demonic oppression, fear, doubts, anxieties and death.

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. The time is very short. Choose Jesus today.
You can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Grace be with you.
