Our right to healing has been expanded in
the authority of Jesus Name.

Today He is watching over His Word to
confirm it, just as He confirmed it in the
days of the early christians Mark 16:20:
"And they went forth, and preached every
where, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following."

The double blessing ministry which began
with Jesus, continued with the apostles and
is now with the christians today wherever
they dare to act on His Word. . . .!

The disciples preached a complete redemp-
tion, the new birth of the spirit and healing
for the body!

The ministry of the disciples, guided by the
Holy Spirit, had the same double blessing
ministry that Jesus Christ had.

Jesus bore our diseases so that we wouldn't
have to bear them.

The provision for our healing is this: "In My
Name. . . . . .they shall lay hands on the sick
and they shall recover."

Both promises hang on the word "believing".

The miraculous promises following, belong
to them that believe, or the 'believing ones'
which is a literal translation.

We have held strong to the first promise,
because we know how to use it, and we have
tossed away the second part because we
didn't know how to use it.

The other part of the commission is, Mark
16:17 "And these signs shall follow them that
believe"

The Greek word 'believe' is the same as the
word for 'believeth' in verse 16.

No one has the right to separate these words
of Jesus; telling us that the first words in
verse 16 are for us but that the words in verse 17
were only for the disciples and the early believers.

The Great Commission is to meet our
spiritual need, Mark 16:16, "He that believeth
and is baptized, shall be saved."

Everyone of us can apply this part of the
commission to ourselves; teaching that
faith in Christ is necessary for salvation and
that unbelief excludes us from it.

In Mark chapter 16, Jesus gives His disciples
the Great Commission.

He is going to depart to be with the Father.
He will be seated at the Father's right hand.

Now Jesus' disciples are going to take His
place here on earth. They are to continue
His ministry. They will continue to do what
He was doing before He left.

So Jesus reveals that His ministry of healing
and salvation would be carried on by His
followers.

Jesus bore our 'spiritual death' so we may
have life. In His Word He made provision
for our salvation.

He bore our diseases and in His Word He
made provision for our healing.

Jesus' ministry here on earth affected our
spirits and our bodies.

His death bore our sins and sicknesses.

He is the same today! His ministry of
blessing our spirits and bodies continued
from His earthly ministry up to today.

By His bruising, we are healed from the law
of sickness and disease!

When Jesus brought the works of Satan to
nought [totally destroyed]; He also brought
sickness and disease to nought [totally des-
troyed].

Satan, who had the authority in the realm
of 'spiritual death' has been brought to
nought [zero, nothing] totally destroyed.

Hebrews 2:14 "Forasmuch then as the
children are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him that
had the power of death, that is, the devil;"

In Jesus' ministry, the Father revealed that
it was His will to heal man physically. Jesus
went about healing all manner of sickness
and disease because the Father was with Him.

The Father has made Jesus to be our sin-
bearer and our sickness-bearer.

He who knew no sin was made sin for us
and He who knew no sickness was made
sickness for us.

Jesus Christ bore our sins and the penalty
that we might be free from sin, its power,
and its judgment.

Upon the same grounds He bore our diseases
and pains. He carried them that we might be
set free, that we need not bear them.

Isaiah 53:10 reads in the Hebrew, "Yet
Jehovah hath delighted to bruise Him; He
hath made Him sick."

God made Jesus sin with our sins, and sick
with our sicknesses. He delighted to do it
because of one reason. . . it meant healing
for us!

When Jesus arose from the dead, the body of
sin, of 'spiritual death' had been destroyed.

Romans 6:6
"Knowing this, that our old man is crucified
with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed,
that henceforth we should not serve sin."

Sin has lost its power and so has disease!

Jesus could not be raised from the dead until
we were declared righteous by God.

"Who was delivered for our offences, and was
raised again for our justification."
Romans 4:25

Sense Knowledge has tried to refuse this,
but the truth is that God laid our diseases
and our sins on Jesus!

Jesus was made sick with our diseases. He
was made sin with our sins.

In the Father's mind, and in the mind of
Jesus, and according to the Word, our
diseases and sins were bore by the Savior.

If they were bore by Him, then it is wrong
for us to bear them.

God made Him [Jesus] sick, when He [God]
made His [Jesus} soul an offering for sin.

Literal translation: "disease and sicknesses"
not griefs and sorrows.

God not only laid upon Jesus our iniquites
[our sins] but also our diseases.

"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 chastise-
ment of our peace was upon him; and with
his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have
turned every one to his own way; and the
LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."
Isaiah 53:4-6

God shows us through the prophets, Himself
dealing with sin and sickness.

Literally it reads, "He was despised, and
rejected of men; a man of pains, and
acquainted with sickness."

If our redemption from 'spiritual death' is
to be a complete redemption, it must be a
redemption from disease as well as from sin.

God realized this, and He has plainly shown
us in His Word that He has made provision
for the healings of our bodies.

Study carefully this in Romans 5:12-21

"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into
the world, and death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
(For until the law sin was in the world: but
sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to
Moses, even over them that had not sinned
after the similitude of Adam's transgression,
who is the figure of him that was to come.
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift.
For if through the offence of one many be
dead, much more the grace of God, and the
gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus
Christ, hath abounded unto many.
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is
the gift: for the judgment was by one to
condemnation, but the free gift is of many
offences unto justification.
For if by one man's offence death reigned
by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one,
Jesus Christ.)
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment
came upon all men to condemnation; even
so by the righteousness of one the free gift
came upon all men unto justification of life.
For as by one man's disobedience many
were made sinners, so by the obedience of
one shall many be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered, that the offence
might abound. But where sin abounded,
grace did much more abound:
That as sin hath reigned unto death, even
so might grace reign through righteousness
unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."

"Forasmuch then as the children are par-
takers of flesh and blood, he also himself
likewise took part of the same; that
through death he might destroy him that
had the power of death, that is, the devil;"
Hebrews 2:14

He came to completely redeem man from
the effects of Adam's sin by identifying
Himself with them.

1 John 3:8 "For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that he might destroy the
works of the devil."

Jesus came to destroy what Satan had done
to man when he became their spiritual father
because of Adams sin.

He came to bring Satan to nought [zip, zero]
in his power over man.

When the scribes questioned Jesus about
His statement, He answered, "Which is
easier, to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy
sins are forgiven; or to say, Arise, and
take up thy bed, and walk?"

Really He was saying, "What's the differ-
ence, to forgive sins which are the results
of Spiritual Death in a man's spirit, or to
heal the disease of his physical body, which
is the result also of the same Spiritual death."

Either way Jesus was dealing with bondage
of man to Satan.

"And again he entered into Capernaum after
some days; and it was noised that he was in
the house.
And straightway many were gathered together,
insomuch that there was no room to receive
them, no, not so much as about the door: and
he preached the word unto them.
And they come unto him, bringing one sick of
the palsy, which was borne of four.
And when they could not come nigh unto him
for the press, they uncovered the roof where
he was:


and when
they had
broken it
up, they
let down
the bed
wherein
the sick
of the
palsy
lay.


When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto
the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be
forgiven thee.
But there were certain of the scribes sitting
there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies?
who can forgive sins but God only?
And immediately when Jesus perceived in
his spirit that they so reasoned within
themselves, he said unto them, Why reason
ye these things in your hearts?
Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the
palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say,
Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
But that ye may know that the Son of man
hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he
saith to the sick of the palsy,)
I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed,
and go thy way into thine house.
And immediately he arose, took up the bed,
and went forth before them all; insomuch
that they were all amazed, and glorified
God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
And he went forth again by the sea side; and
all the multitude resorted unto him, and he
taught them."
Mark 2:1-13
