THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 44.

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.

52. SICKNESS IS A THIEF, A KILLER AND A DESTROYER: John 10:10 (KJV) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 5:1-6 (KJV) After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
Sickness is of the devil and carries with it the nature and character of the devil which is to steal, kill and destroy. Wellness is wealth. Health is prosperity. Sickness comes to steal, kill and destroy lives spiritually, financially, materially, mentally, and physically. Bringing with it pain, sorrow, poverty, bondage & reproach. Sickness steals your life, money, joy, peace, hope, future, etc. From both you and all your family and friends. It also steals kills and destroy your time and that of your family.

Sometimes after stealing all these the person still dies. as was the case of Lazaus in John 11. When a man is sick nothing matters anymore to him but his wellness. Hence he will shut down everything and even sell all he has to get well. But thank God divine healing and divine health is free because of the resurrection of Jesus. You don't have to go through all these if you believe and receive the word of God. John 4:46-54; 5:1-6; 9:1-3; Mark 2:3-5; 5:1-15,25-34; 9:14-25; 10:46-52; 17:11-19; Luke 13:10-17; 3John 2;

The resurrection power has given us all power and authority over the devil therefore treat every sickness as you would treat a thief and a killer. Resist and fight it. Protect yourself from sickness as you would protect yourself from thieves and killers, taking every precautions daily by walking in the blessings of the resurrection. By the power of the resurrection you are a new man with a new life that is above sickness and diseases. -Eph 6:10-18. Sickness is an invisible enemy so you need invisible spiritual weapons to fight and protect yourself and your family. Protect yourself consciously daily with the word of God as your shield from all sicknesses. 1Peter 2:24; Matthew 8:17; Psalm 107:20; Isaiah 53:4-5; Exodus15:26; 23:25-26;

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.
