It’s strange how we don’t doubt our sins are forgiven, but do we doubt our diseases are healed? The good news is Jesus dealt with it all at the same time at the Cross. When we’ve not been well it’s easy to be misled by our past experiences and we’re tempted to doubt our own circumstances could possibly change for the good because they have gone on so long! Well don’t despair because the Gospels give us a lot of encouragement to hang in there.😊There are several accounts of people who had dealt with situations years on end with no change, then suddenly in a moment of time, they were all healed or delivered.
Take the woman who kept bleeding. She’d dealt with that medical condition for 12 years, gone to every doctor, spent all her money and still wasn’t any better. But the day she heard Jesus could heal her she believed it, went looking for Him and was healed. Matthew 9:20-22
Then there was the lady who had been bent over for 18 years and all she could see was other peoples’ feet and the dust of the ground. She couldn’t even look up but Jesus broke into her hopelessness and restored her to normality after 18 long years. Luke 13:10-17
The insane, homeless man who roamed the cemetery had been bound by evil spirits and fear for so long everyone had given up on him but Jesus hadn’t given up on him and went through a storm to find him and set him free. He hasn’t given up on you either, so don’t give up on yourself!! Mark 5:1-20
Then there was the man who had been lame for 38 years at Bethesda Pool and Jesus healed him even though he kept giving reasons why he couldn’t be healed! John 5:1-9 Ever done that?
Praise God we don’t have to wait for Jesus to come to town because He’s here with us right now wherever we are. We have His written Word in front of us and that is like a personal message from God with our name written on it!
So this is to encourage us all, that no matter how many years we’ve been battling something, or how many discouraging reports we’ve had, keep believing that your healing was bought and paid for by Jesus at the cross and you’ll see it in your body. Thank You Lord our healing is as real as our sins forgiven and by faith in what Jesus did and Your Word, we believe we’ll see it revealed in us.Amen.
1 Peter 2:24 He personally carried our sins in his own body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.
