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

His answer was, Ought not this woman,
whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eight-
een years, to have been loosed from this
bond on the day of the Sabbath?

He made it clear that Satan was the cause
of the infirmity that had bound her body.

Jesus' position regarding disease is seen in
Luke 13:10-17
"And he was teaching in one of the synago-
gues on the sabbath.
And, behold, there was a woman which had
a spirit
of
infirmity
eighteen
years,
and was
bowed
together,
and could
in no wise
lift up
herself.








And when Jesus saw her, he called her to
him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art
loosed from thine infirmity.
And he laid his hands on her: and immed-
iately she was made straight, and glorified
God.
And the ruler of the synagogue answered
with indignation, because that Jesus had
healed on the sabbath day, and said unto
the people, There are six days in which men
ought to work: in them therefore come and
be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
The Lord then answered him, and said,
Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you
on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from
the stall, and lead him away to watering?
And ought not this woman, being a
daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath
bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed
from this bond on the sabbath day?
And when he had said these things, all his
adversaries were ashamed: and all the
people rejoiced for all the glorious things
that were done by him."
Luke 13:10-17

Christ's ministry proclaimed healings and
blessings to the physical part of man's nature,
as well as to the spiritual.

If sickness and disease was in God's plan,
then Jesus' ministry would have been contrary
to the Father's will.

He was the Father's will revealed to man!

He revealed that it was the Father's will to break
the power of sickness and disease over man's
body and set him free from pain and suffering.

Healing had a major place in Jesus' ministry.
Throughout His ministry He delivered all
those who were oppressed by Satan.

These deliverances included the healing of
their physical bodies.

If disease didn't come from Satan, it must
have had a place in God's plan for man.
But Matthew 8:16-17 says:
"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."

And Mark 1:32-34:
"And at even, when the sun did set, they
brought unto him all that were diseased,
and them that were possessed with devils.
And all the city was gathered together at
the door.
And he healed many that were sick of
divers diseases, and cast out many devils;
and suffered not the devils to speak,
because they knew him. "

God looks upon disease as He looks upon sin.

Christ came to reveal the Father/God, to make
known His attitude toward man. By following
the life of Jesus Christ we learn God's attitude
towards sickness and disease.

Jesus went about doing good and healing all
who were oppression of the Devil. It was God's
will because Jesus came to do the will of the
Father!

Healing is a part of man's Atonement (his
Redemption) in Christ.

Healing belongs to every child of God.

There is no need to question if it God's will
to be healed. It is in the Atonement!

It is God's will.
