So I am moving along learning the things of God when suddenly I was diagnosed with cancer. Oops what is this? I thought I was made whole when I was “Born Again” in “every area of my life”. Could it be that I lacked understanding again? The believers around me said, no you just have to “believe you receive”. What is that? Did I need to believe more for a physical healing than I did for my spiritual healing? I didn’t even know I was spiritually sick (DEAD) until God healed me by his Grace. Opened my eyes (you know that “free gift”) to see who I really was. He showed me that I needed him because I was blind held captive by this world and my sin nature. He even showed me that the same way he opened Eve eyes to the evil of this world he opened my eyes to his goodness/his LOVE. Now people around me started indicating that they were never sick cause they knew how to fight the devil off. I guess they were saying they have a better belief system. I don’t know. There is that condemnation that people try to put on you, but we know for the true believers there is now no condemnation when you are in Christ Jesus. So in my affliction I have been so reaching for truth. Diligently seeking truth. Not man’s truth, but God’s who is the Arthur and finisher of my faith.
I don’t need any man telling me “how much God loves me” cause God has told me himself. Every time God’s word doesn’t work the way people have proclaimed they make excuses. They say if you tithe and you aren’t blessed it is cause you are not giving to the high priest “me” (the preacher), the anointed one your money. If you are not healed physically it is because you don’t “take communion” everyday, or you have some unforgiveness or some carnal lame excuse. God’s word ALWAYS works. If it isn’t working in your life it is SOLELY because you lack understanding.
So I go back to the beginning. God shows me the whole Bible is a parable. It is for believers only. Not so you can believe, but because you believe. I knew that there are real healings in the 4 gospel, but they really are speaking to those who have an “ear” to hear. John chapter 9 is really a parable of us, but there is truly a blind man (but we are too until Jesus quickens us). Then it hit me again, Jesus taught under the old testament; the Holy Ghost had not yet come so He did a physical truth to teach the believer a spiritual truth. Oh my God.
All the time that Jesus healed people was before the Cross. Before there ever was any Atonement, before there was any provision for salvation. That’s when verse 53:4 in Isaiah was fulfilled. He Jesus bore the physical illnesses BEFORE THE ATONEMENT. So physical healing cannot be a result of the Atonement. When you get to Isa 53:5 it is speaking of our transgressions, our iniquities, our sins which are borne by Christ on the cross. Christ’s Atonement is the basis for our spiritual healing from sin and which is ultimately the basis for all believers’ perfect resurrection bodies which will have no infirmities or diseases because the cause – sin – has been removed!
If physical healing is in the Atonement then a Believer would not die physically because his physical healing would be eternal just like his spiritual healing. But guess what BELIEVERS DO DIE!
Jesus ministry was not to relieve the sufferings of humanity, but to provide a solution for the old sin nature which caused the suffering in the first place. The healings that Christ performed were simply to prove himself as the Messiah and his message. The source of all physical suffering is sin. God does give the gifts of healing to believers today. He also does miracle healing today as well. But to say that it is your benefit to never get sick or be poor financially is simply not the truth. People that don’t believe in God can never be sick. People that don’t believe in God could be physically rich. To say that Jesus died to set us free in that area is to say that his work isn’t finish and that simply isn’t the TRUTH!
Yours in Christ,
I hope this blesses someone.
