JESUS CHRIST IS OUR HEALER AND FOCUS.
Matthew 8 v17 NIV... "He Himself took up our infirmities and carried our diseases."
Isaiah 53v4 says ," surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows", But see how Matthew quoted this verse in our opening scripture.
I love the word Himself because it is so personal and so intimate.Surely He Himself took our diseases and our infirmities.Your health and wholeness were too important to Him so , He Himself bore your every sickness and disease.
Take time to ponder on the word Himself (Jesus Christ). Remember the one who suffered and died for you, the one who took your infirmities and bore your sickness so you need not bear them . Jesus Christ Himself did it because you are so precious to Him.
Whatever the doctor says you are suffering from incurable or curable, Jesus Himself has taken it upon His own body. Do not focus on looking for healing, focus on the Lord Jesus Himself.Focus on the one Who Himself bore your sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness ,by whose stripes you were healed. 1Peter2 v24.
Many times when you seek Him and simply spend time in His presence, your fears and worries just melt away.You find that in His presence there is shalom- peace.There is healing.There is wholeness.When you look for your symptoms , you find them no more.What is the reason? Because you are in the presence of the Healer.
When God told the people of Israel ,I am the Lord who heals you Exodus 15 v26 , He was introducing Himself to them as Jehovah Rapha.He was not saying , to them I will give you healing or I will provide you health.He was saying to them I am your healing, and I am your health.When you touch Jesus Christ, you touch healing.He does not give healing as though it were a thing.He gives Himself.
You do not have to seek after healing, provision, and protection . When you have Jesus, you have all you need.If there is any part in your body , that is in death, the Lord says to you "I am the resurrection and the life"John 11v25.If doctors have told you that you will die young, the Lord says to you ,I am your life and the length of your days Duet30 v20.If you have received a negative diagnosis and are fearful, the Lord says to you , Do not be afraid, I am your shield"Genesis 15 V1.If you have been dealing with relapse after relapse and the discouragement is overwhelming you , the Lord diclares to you,' I am your strength and your song" Exodus 15 v2 .
All that God Has destined us to have in His grace is in Christ Jesus.We need the Lord for the whole package that God has given us is in Christ There is no burden He cannot bear there is no problem He cannot solve there is no diseases or sickness He cannot heal .We need Jesus Christ may the Lord give us understanding in all these things . Let us focus on the Lord.Jesus Christ loves you. Make Him the Lord of your life.
