7. I am completely healthy and free of disease.
Why am I, who believes in Jesus, a healthy person? What is the reason for that?
1) It's because Jesus was beaten with a whip that we are healed.
The Bible said. NASB Isaiah 53:4-5/However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore, And our pains that He carried; Yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted, Struck down by God, and humiliated. 5 But He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; The punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, And by His wounds we are healed./
Just like Isaiah prophesied, Jesus took on our sickness and our sorrow(Pain), and by being whipped, we've already been healed. There's no more sickness anymore.
Also, in Matthew 8:16-17/it says, 16-17/And when evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill 17 in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, "HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES, AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES."/ (NASB)
Jesus healed all the people who were possessed by demons and sick when the Sabbath ended (which would be like closing time today). (Because)He did this to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah 53:4-5. That same Jesus still heals all our illnesses today. So, we are healthy.
2) Because it says that living a life that fears the Lord leads to health.
Proverbs 3:1-2/My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands, 2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace./
Proverbs 3:7-8/Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. 8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones./
Proverbs 3:13-17/Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, 14 for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. 16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. 17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace./
3) It's because when we live obediently according to God's Word, our whole body becomes healthy.
Proverbs 4:20-22/'My son, pay attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their whole body.'/
Verse 22 /says that the Word becomes life to those who obtain it and makes their whole body healthy./ The word 'obtain' comes from a word meaning to find, acquire, or discover, implying an active effort (Proverbs 3:18). So, 'those who obtain' refers not just to anyone who gets it, but to those who diligently search for, discover, and possess the Word.
'Whole body' refers to all parts of the body, and 'healthy' comes from a word meaning healing, medicine, or being healthy. So, God's Word, when obtained, gives life and makes the whole body healthy.
4) Because He promised that when we live in obedience to God's word, we will not suffer any disease.
Exodus 15:26/He said, 'If you listen to the voice of the LORD your God, do what is right in my sight, listen to my commandments, and keep all my statutes, then I will not bring upon you any of the diseases I brought upon the Egyptians; I am the LORD who heals you.'/
Exodus 23:25/Serve the LORD your God, and the LORD will bless your food and water, and remove sickness from among you.'/
Deuteronomy 7:12-15/If you hear and keep all these statutes, the LORD your God will keep the covenant he swore to your ancestors and show you mercy. 13 He will show you mercy in the land he sworn to your ancestors to give you and give you prosperity, and he will give you mercy to your offspring. He will make your land abundant with grain, wine, and oil, and your cattle and sheep. 14 Your blessing will surpass all nations, and no male or female among you or your animals will fail to be fruitful. 15 The LORD will also bring out all diseases from you. Stay far away, so that the evil of Egypt you know will not come upon you, but on all who hate you./
Here, 'evil in Egypt' refers to various endemic skin diseases, scabies, typhoid, dysentery, smallpox, eye disease, and the Black Death. These various diseases frequently occurred due to Egypt's hot and humid climate and desert dust, and even recently, some people(Pliny) referred to Egypt as 'the birthplace of all diseases.' Again, when we obey God's word, He keeps all diseases that arise in the spiritual Egypt world away from us.
5) God is the one who heals the people of Israel.
Isaiah 57:19/says, 'And it shall be said, “Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal him.”'/ God is the one who creates the fruit of the lips. So, because God said to His people, 'I will heal him,' He is the one who heals the people of Israel according to the fruit of His lips.
6) It's because the God of peace wants our spirit, soul, and body to be kept blameless.
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24/says, 'May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.'/
It says that the God of peace wants our entire spirit, soul, and body to be kept blameless (healthy) until the Lord Jesus Christ comes. God's wish is for our spirit, soul, and body to be healthy.
7) It's because when we live joyfully in Jesus every day, we become healthy.
Proverbs 17:22/says, 'A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.'/ We are people who are always joyful in Christ Jesus and thankful in everything. So, we always live happily. That joy itself acts like medicine and makes our bodies healthy.
8) It’s because of the promise given to those who hope in the Lord.
Isaiah 40:28-31/ ‘Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not grow tired or weary, and His understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the weary and increases strength to the powerless. 30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.’/
The prophet Isaiah introduced who God is by saying: ① The Creator God does not grow tired or weary, and His understanding is limitless. ② He gives power to the weary and increases strength to the powerless. ③ Only those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles, run without growing weary, and walk without fainting.
That’s right. God is the One who gives power to the weary, strengthens the powerless, and renews the strength of those who hope in Him. So, by believing in and trusting Almighty God, it’s only natural for us to be strong and healthy every day.
9) Because Jesus gave us the way, authority, and power to heal the sick.
Matthew 4:23-24/Jesus went throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 And his fame spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, those who were possessed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them./ Jesus’ three main ministries were teaching in the synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and disease among the people. That’s right. Jesus himself first healed all the ill and those suffering from various diseases.
And John 14:12/“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do, and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father,”/
and Matthew 10:1/“Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority to cast out unclean spirits and to heal every disease and sickness,”/
and Matthew 10:5-8/“These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, saying, ‘Do not go on the road of the Gentiles, and do not enter a Samaritan town; go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven has come near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.’”/
This instruction was given to the disciples when they were sent to evangelize. Go to the lost sheep of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven has come near. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, drive out demons./ What did Jesus command the disciples going to evangelize? ① Proclaim as you go that the kingdom of heaven has come near, ② Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, and ③ Drive out demons, ④ It says, 'Freely you have received; freely give.'
The same saying is also in Luke 9. Luke 9:1-2/says, 'Jesus called the twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to heal diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.'/ So, since we who believe in Jesus can heal just like Him, there’s no need to accept sickness or live painfully with it.
10) There are basically two practical ways to heal sickness.
① First, lay hands on the sick person.
You place your hands on the sick area and pray or command the disease to leave. As it says in Mark 16:17-18/'These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes in their hands, and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.'/
② For illnesses that you cannot heal yourself, ask the elders (pastors) of the church to pray for you.
James 5:14-16/says: 'Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.'/
So if you are sick, you should ask the church elders(pastors) to anoint you with oil(the anointing of the Holy Spirit) and pray for you. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up. It is said that when the pastor prays, the Lord will lift them up.
Therefore, in my dictionary, there is no cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, dementia, tuberculosis, indigestion, acute colds, diarrhea, constipation, headaches, toothaches, stomach aches, menstrual cramps, arthritis, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, osteoporosis, gallstones, hemorrhoids, flu, coronavirus, various infectious diseases, various skin diseases, various allergies, acne, athlete's foot, various mental illnesses, depression, anxiety disorders, social withdrawal, obsessive-compulsive disorder, paranoia, bipolar disorder, all kinds of fatigue, weakness, or any other incurable or rare disease. I always have the best condition!!! Deuteronomy 34:7/Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyes were not dim, nor his strength gone/ it says.
