I AM Establishing This Chapter

Just like in the days of Zechariah when things were difficult but there were some that could hear the voice of the Lord amidst the chaos to be strong and work, even so, many hearts are rising in the strength of God, piercing through the darkness and experiencing the glory. This is the God moment. ( Zechariah 8:9)

In this season, I feel led by the Holy Ghost to share with us on the subject of divine healing.

We are going into times where things are getting tougher and tougher by the day. Medical science is achieving but less. If the solution be Christ, then it is eternal, if it be something else it is then but temporal.

I rather get a one time solution than get a quick fix which I will still need to be back again for another fix and if the quick fix won’t fix some of my problems, I may just as well accept to live with the issues pending when they finally destroy me.

Healing is something that has being provided for us through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. A lot of people think it is a difficult thing to be healed but that’s false. Every Christian on the planet has being healed just that many do not know and have detached it from the salvation experience.

Look at this,

Isaiah 33:24
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

The inhabitant of what? Zion if you will go back to the verse 20 of the chapter. It says the inhabitants of Zion, the church will not say I am sick because of the forgiveness of sins. This means forgiveness of sins came with healing.

The same blood and body that paid for our sins procured healing for us also. We received healing when we received Christ. There is no new thing to be done to receive healing, it all came when we received the forgiveness of sins.

Many people can believe that there sins are forgiven but it is often hard for many to believe that they are healed also. If you can believe that your sins are forgiven without having seen anything but just through your heart, then you can see with the same heart that same blood healed your body also.

The same way a lot of people find it difficult believing that they are righteous in Christ and that there is now no condemnation as long as they are in Christ, same way people find it hard accepting and relying on the truth that on the cross all our sorrows, sicknesses, and inequities he took.

Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Read the above verses carefully, our sorrows, griefs and iniquities. All our sins and sicknesses he took upon himself and with his stripes we are healed.

The Hebrew word translated above for griefs is the word chŏlîy which means malady, anxiety, calamity (Strong’s Concordance H2483). Every calamity he took upon himself for us on the cross of calvary.

If he carried it, then I don’t have it, that is why it is said – the inhabitants shall not say – I am sick, for he carried all sicknesses on the cross.

A lot of things are said about the above scriptures, many say this is talking about sin alone. No, its about sickness and every evil work. Look at what is said when Jesus healed the sick;

Matthew 8:16-17
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Very well explained here in this book of Mathew. He was a living manifestation of the prophecy of Isaiah even before his death. We must have to begin to see that healing and forgiveness of sins cannot be separated. There are times when Jesus used it interchangeably. Look at this instance;

Matthew 9:2
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.

Jesus sees a sick man and instead of saying to him be healed Arise and walk! He says your sins are forgiven you. Because healing is a by-product of the forgiveness of sins. This was strange to the religious people of his day as it is to many today. They called it blasphemy.

Matthew 9:3-5
And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

Observe carefully the answer of Jesus, he said which one is easier to say?
Which one do you prefer I say?
Thy sins be forgiven or arise and walk?

That means thy sins be forgiven thee also means arise and walk in the dictionary of Jesus, because they cannot be separated. One death, one burial, one resurrection bought all of them!

This is so clear you just have to chose not to believe.

If you can believe that your sins are forgiven just by scripture and the witness of the Spirit then you also have to believe that your body is also healed by scripture as he witnesses to you even now by this word through the Spirit. You don’t need an extra faith for healing, it is all locked up in the forgiveness of sins.

This is why The Apostle Peter made healing a thing of the past after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus;

1 Peter 2:24
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.

Observe the language, we were healed. We are not going to be healed. We were healed. Now a lot of us may ask, if I was healed, why am I still experiencing sickness?
We will talk on that tomorrow…

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw the Lord teaching a Christian Isaiah 60 and then I heard “I Am establishing this chapter upon the Church in this season.”

Please take some time to read, proclaim and expect Isaiah 60:1-22 to be established in your life.
