Redeemed from the curse.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us ( for it is written, "cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"), that the blessings of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:13-14
There was a curse pronounced upon those who would not keep God's laws (Deut 28:15-68) This curse generally included poverty, sickness, and death. Since all men were sinners, there was no man who could fully keep all God's law ( Romans 3:23) Jesus enter the earth as man and lived His life without sin. As He hung on the cross, He was actually made to be a curse for you as your substitute. He took the curse you deserved. He took your poverty, your sickness, and your death ( sin ), so that you might receive the blessings God had promise to Abraham and those keeping His law. This include an abundant supply for every need in your life.
( Deut.28:1-14)
Jesus is still the same.
" Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8 ). The reason Jesus healed people was because of His compassion. He saw their needs and met them. He is still the same. His compassion as not stopped. He loves you just as much as He did those on the time of His earthly ministry. His power is not stopped just because He is no longer in our midst. His power and effectiveness are even greater today because He can be present in all places at the same times by His spirit.
"For His mercy endures forever" ( Psalm 136 ).
PRAYER OF FAITH - Anointing with Oil.
We know from the book of Acts that the healing ministry of Christ did not stop with His death and resurrection. It continued through the twelve disciples and the other believers ( Mark 16: 15- 19).
There are numerous ways which people received healing under Jesus ministry. Today men can receive healing from the basis of numerous passages of scripture. These include: Mark 11:22-24, John 16:23-24, Matthew 18:18-20, Mark 16:18, James 5:14-15, Exodus 15:26, Psalm 103:3, 1peter 2:24, and Matthew 8:16-17
One particularly important method is with oil and praying the prayer of faith. It demonstrate to us that God's power can be ministered by believers and thus shows that healing did not end when Christ died. Healing is still provided for you today.
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will forgiven.
James 5:14-15
