1 Peter 2:21-25

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1 Peter 2:24

The last phrase of this verse is the same as Isaiah 53:4, with one important exception: It places our healing in the past tense. We have already been healed. This is a hard concept for some people to grasp. They cannot understand how they could already be healed if there is sickness in their bodies. One way to get around this is to say that this is speaking of spiritual healing, but Matthew 8:17 made it very clear that the healing Isaiah was speaking of was physical, not spiritual.

The key to understanding this concept is relating it to the forgiveness of our sins. When were our sins forgiven? According to Scripture, they were forgiven when Christ died, long before we ever received it. Our prayers only enable us to receive what was already accomplished in the spiritual realm and bring it into physical reality. That’s the way it is with healing.

Jesus has already accomplished our healing. The same virtue that raised Him from the dead is resident within every believer. (Eph. 1:19,20.) It’s a done deal. All we must do is believe and give physical substance (Heb. 11:1) to what’s already true in our born-again spirits. It’s infinitely easier to release something that we already have than to try to get something that we don’t have, and we already have healing.

Start releasing your healing by confessing and acting on your faith instead of trying to use your faith to ask God to heal you. He’s already done it.

July 9: You Can See Faith

Matthew 9:1-8

And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

Matthew 9:2

What does faith look like? Faith itself is like the wind. You can’t see the wind, but you can see the effects of it. You can see things that are being blown by the wind. Likewise, you can’t see faith, but by a person’s actions you can tell when someone is moving in faith.

For Jesus to see the faith of these men meant that He saw their actions. Specifically, they climbed on the roof, took the roof off, and lowered their sick friend down right in front of Jesus and in the presence of an antagonistic crowd. They were sure to be criticized by the religious leaders and would certainly be in trouble with the owner of the house whose roof they had just removed! They must have believed that what they were going to receive was worth the price. They believed their friend would be healed.

These men could have believed Jesus could heal their friend but then done nothing about it. If they had not acted on their faith, it wouldn’t have done their friend any good.
