You Were Healed

“When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.”” (Matthew‬ ‭8:16-17‬ WEB‬‬)

How come Jesus could heal all these sinners who came to Him? Doesn’t death have the right to latch upon a sinner? Someone has to pay the price for that.

Yes, it is true. Every infirmity (weakness) and disease that Jesus healed, He also bore in His own body at the cross. He took all our sicknesses upon Himself.

What did Isaiah say?

“Surely he has borne our sickness, and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah‬ ‭53:4-5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

At the cross, Jesus was not punished for His own sins—He had always been sinless. Abba God placed our sins, sicknesses, and infirmities upon Jesus, and let the fire of His wrath fall upon Jesus as our substitute.

Since God’s wrath has been fully exhausted in Jesus’ body, there is none left for us who are now in Christ. Jesus righteously purchased our shalom (complete wellness and wholeness with nothing lacking or broken), causing us to be healed.

“who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.” (1 Peter‬ ‭2:24‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Peter puts this truth in perspective for us. By the stripes that Jesus received, we WERE healed. Our healing happened at the cross.

Today, we who believe in Jesus are no longer sinners. Death has no right to latch upon us because we are resurrected beings, having already died to sin with Jesus at the cross.

We have received the righteousness of God, which is Jesus’ own righteousness. This gift of righteousness marks us for God’s grace. We are blessed with every blessing because we are the righteous!

If you see and experience symptoms of sickness or infirmity in your body, meditate on this message and let this truth sink into your heart: you were healed at the cross because Jesus paid the full price for it. When you clearly understand what happened, you will have boldness to take what is already yours!

Greater Grace is Coming!

““For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen. Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.” When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all. For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.” (Acts‬ ‭4:27-35‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

In a post from months ago, I had shared that Pharaoh’s dream of the seven fat cows and seven skinny cows have an end-time prophetic meaning of seven years of plenty before the Rapture and seven years of severe famine during the seven years of Tribulation.

“Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh. The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one. The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine. That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt. There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land, and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous. The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.” (Genesis‬ ‭41:25-32‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

I believe we are in/entering that season of seven plentiful years.

In the seven plentiful years, we are going to see things like the early church experienced, but at a much greater magnitude. It is the Lord’s final harvest of souls before the Rapture.

We will see:

- Bold believers rise up to win souls and amazing miracles happening when they preach the Gospel.

- The world shaken by the Holy Spirit and a huge outpouring of the Spirit upon all flesh. Even unbelievers will receive dreams and visions from God and experience His power.

- A new level of unity and love among the body of Christ.

- A prosperous church that shares her wealth with those in need; the wealth of the nations will be transferred to believers.

We are not going to leave this world as a bruised, battered, cowering church. We will be prospering in all things together and prepared as a radiant bride for the Lord. This is the effect of us collectively receiving more revelation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light, that shines more and more until the perfect day.” (Proverbs‬ ‭4:18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The path of the righteous (believers) will shine more and more until the perfect day.

“For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. For this perishable body must become imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:25-26, 53-55‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The last enemy that will be put under Jesus’ feet and abolished is death. This means that before the Rapture, all other enemies would be under the feet of the body of Christ. This includes sickness, aging, weakness, poverty, broken relationships, and all types of bondages that have plagued the church throughout history.

We would be so full of life that the only thing remaining is to be clothed with our glorified body and meet Jesus in the air.

Are you excited about the seven years of plenty? If the early church experienced great grace, the end-time church before the Rapture will experience greater grace! Don’t just be a spectator—ask Him to let you participate in a significant way, to bringing about good change for His kingdom!

One revelation that the body of Christ will grow in is this: receiving supernatural youth renewal to live young, healthy, strong, and beautiful like Jesus. I believe that “Younger and Younger” (the eBook and audio) are being used to enlighten believers about this part of our inheritance that is often neglected. Join me on a 31-day youth renewal journey to meet a new you—it is a transformation that everyone can see:

Former western military officials and independent academics say the collapse of the Afghan armed forces reflects widespread public disillusionment with President Ashraf Ghani’s government, chronic corruption and mismanagement within the armed forces, and a sheer lack of confidence among the troops that they could win against the Taliban without US military and intelligence support.

When faced by an imminent US pullout, many Afghans’ more traditional ethnic, tribal and even family ties overshadowed any loyalty they might feel to the nascent Afghan army, enabling provincial Taliban commanders to negotiate the virtually peaceful surrender of many troops.

Meanwhile, the armed forces have been plagued by corruption, such as the issue of ‘ghost soldiers’ who exist on paper but are not real — allowing others to collect their salaries.

After beating up on some of
the NBA's lightweights, the Philadelphia 76ers wilted down the
stretch against one of its heavyweights.

Bobby Jackson scored half of his 18 points in the fourth quarter
and Chris Webber came alive in the second half as the
Sacramento Kings posted a 107-99 victory over the 76ers, who had
a nine-game winning streak stopped.

It was the first loss since the All-Star break for Philadelphia,
which did much of its damage during its run against teams
looking at the NBA Lottery.

During their streak, the Sixers had a pair of wins over Chicago
and Cleveland, one against Memphis and another at Denver. Those
teams are a combined 116 games under the .500 mark.

On Monday, the Sixers hung tough against the league's third-best
team and held a 95-94 lead with 2:51 remaining following a
basket by Keith Van Horn.

But the Kings took over, outscoring the Sixers 13-4 the rest of
the way. Peja Stojakovic gave the Kings the lead for good at
the 2:36 mark with a jumper and, after a timeout, Doug Christie
had a steal and layup.

After Van Horn's basket, the Sixers had four empty trips in a
row. Eric Snow made an errant pass that Christie turned into
his layup, Snow missed two free throws and Van Horn had
turnovers on the next two possessions.

"I know myself, I had a big turnover and missed a couple of free
throws and that hurt us," Snow said. "They made baskets and
made the stops at the end. I thought we fought so long and had
a great opportunity at the end but that's what happens when you
play a great team like that."

"I think we made some mental mistakes, a couple of turnovers
that allowed them to get easy baskets, and they really got
momentum because of it," said Van Horn, who scored 17 points.

Stojakovic drilled another jumper with 1:19 remaining and Mike
Bibby made two free throws with 49 seconds to go, making it
102-95.

Webber scored 23 of his 29 points in the second half as the
Kings won for the sixth time in their last seven games. He also
added 10 rebounds.

"I really thought we did a nice job of staying with this game,"
Kings coach Rick Adelman said. "They are playing so well, and
Iverson was making shots, but we kept saying, `Don't give them
easy baskets.'" We gave them enough to hang around. In the end
we made some nice plays to open it up."

Vlade Divac also provided problems for the Sixers. The
Yugoslavian center finished with 17 points, 13 rebounds and
seven assists.

Allen Iverson scored 35 points and Snow added 15 and 13 assists
for Philadelphia, which fell 3 1/2 games behind first-place New
Jersey in the Atlantic Division.

"I don't feel good about our loss at all," said Iverson, who
went 13-of-23 from the floor. "I don't care anything about
moral victories. I'm too far along in my career to even care
about moral victories, especially if we have a chance to win the
game."

With Bibby plagued by foul trouble, Jackson was quiet for the
first three quarters before coming alive over the final 12
minutes.

After Webber's jumper provided a 85-83 lead with 7:25 to go,
Jackson converted a spectacular reverse layup and drilled a
3-pointer, giving the Kings a 90-83 lead.

It was still a seven-point game with 4:24 to play following a
hook by Webber, who played aggressively in the second half. The
star forward went 10-of-15 from the floor over the final two
quarters after going just 2-of-6 prior to the break.

"I wanted to be aggressive," Webber said. "We heard the murmurs
and that is kind of why you like to play on the road, 'cause
your supposed to miss on the road, but I just wanted to come out
in the second half and take the same shots and have them go
down."

"They made an effort to get him the ball down low and they
weren't doing that (in the first half)," Van Horn said. "He's
a tough guy to guard down there."

But the Sixers, who were playing for the third time in four
nights, would not go quietly. Iverson scored six straight
points, and Van Horn's basket gave the Sixers their last lead at
95-94.

Iverson and Snow clearly got the better of the backcourt matchup
with Bibby and Christie. The Sixers' duo held a 50-18
advantage in points and had a combined seven steals, including
five by Iverson.

Iverson's 19-footer with 8:46 left in the third quarter helped
the Sixers match their biggest lead at 64-57.
