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!
