Healing:

            Took our infirmities and diseases:

Matthew 8:17

17     This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “He Himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases.”

            Jesus took our infirmities so that we don’t have to bear them. He also carried away our diseases. Remember … He never does a half-way job. He took them all … every one of them so that we could have healing in our lifetimes. We don’t have to earn the healing. We do have to ask in faith believing, but it is for all of us. It’s not just for the super-spiritual, or those with great faith. Of course, most of us don’t walk in this blessing here on earth. Let’s not get all in a tizzy about why we don’t. Let’s continue to believe He will do what He says. It is His will to heal us. We just need to make the right connection. Persist in His word and in prayer. He will lead you into what you need to do to appropriate this superb gift.

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "Do you think that I only care about your spiritual well-being? No, I also care about you physically. I want you to walk in My divine health. For when you do, you honor Me and show forth what I desire for My people. You will also feel like doing more things when you are not weighed down by diseases and infirmities. You will have more money to put into the lives of other believers and yourself. You will not feel like you are being weighed down by afflictions and cares of your own and of your family. You will walk in My divine health. My Son paid the price for your healing, so take advantage of it. It wasn’t just for those that He ministered to, but also for those of My children today who have a physical need.”

            68. Every one of my infirmities or diseases, present or future, was taken upon Himself by Jesus. I don’t have to worry that there is something that’s not covered under His medical plan!
