Jesus bore our diseases as well as our sins on the cross therefore we need not bear them! So our next step is to take hold of our healing by faith.
The truth of the matter is, God gave us this part of our inheritance nearly 2000 years ago, and He is the One who is waiting for us to appropriate the blessing by faith.
2000 years ago
1) God put away sin by the sacrifice of Jesus Heb.9:26.
2) God laid on Christ the iniquity of us all Isa.53:6.
3) Christ took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses Matt.8:17
God is the waiting party.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord does not delay and is not tardy or slow about what He promises, according to some peoples conception of slowness, but He is long-suffering (extraordinarily patient) toward you
Mark 11:22-24 So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Jesus tells us exactly how to appropriate any of the blessings purchased for us by His death. Having promised all that we need, He says Whatever things you ask for, when you praybelieve that you receive them, and you shall have them.
The condition of receiving what we ask God for is to believe that He answers our prayers when we pray and that we shall recover, according to His promise.
In other words, when you pray for healing, Christ authorizes you to consider your prayer answered, as when He stood at the grave of Lazarus and said Father, I thank You that You haveheard me John 11.41, before He saw Lazarus come outfrom the grave.
When we ask for healing Christ tells us to say with faith, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me, before we have yet seen the answer to our prayer.
When God's Word alone is our reason for believing that our prayer is answered, before we see or feel it, this is faith!
Jesus declared, The wordsthat I speak to you are spirit, and they are life John 6-63
John 1.1 says, The Word is God
To receive the written words of Christ as His direct message to us is faith. This is the way the Word of God becomes life to us, both in our healing and in our salvation.
The truth when it is believed changes adverse facts because God’s word has spiritual power. The physical things we see and feel are subject to the spiritual just as the physical world came into being by the spiritual. We do not have to pretend the physical symptoms do not exist but know that they will be changed by the higher truthof Gods word when it is believed.
When His Word convinces us that our prayers are answered, before we have yet seen the answers, the Word begins to effectively work in us 1Thessalonians 2:13
God's Word never fails to work in those who accept it as such, because they are not entertaining doubts as to its being fulfilled.
If we will steadfastly believe that we receive Mark 11:24 the answer to our prayer, and act on our faith, every one of us can be healed, though it will not always instantly be manifested.
When we make our move, which is the acting out of a full assurance of faith Heb.10:22, produced solely by His promise, before we see the answer to our prayer we begin to see the answer in the physical realm. Faith is what we have while the symptoms are still there.
Instead of listening to the Father of Lies make him listen to your praising God for His promise!
Paul and Silas sang praises at midnight with their backs bleeding and their feet in the stocks, and God sent an earthquake, which set them free. Acts 16:22—26.
