Healing Is in God’s Redemptive Plan
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
Surely he [Jesus] hath borne our griefs
[sicknesses], and carried our sorrows [pains]: 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 chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his
stripes we are healed.
(Isa. 53:4,5)
It is the will of
God for you to be healed. It is God's will that you be in health. The
biggest thing that hinders people is that they question God's will.
They think, Maybe God has some great purpose in this illness or disease.
But let the Word of God settle the issue for you. It is God's will to
heal you because healing is provided for you in His redemptive plan.
These verses in Isaiah have to do with God's redemptive plan.
Isaiah chapter 53 gives us a picture of the coming Messiah. This passage
of Scripture not only tells us that He bore our sins, but that He bore
our sicknesses and carried our pains. He was wounded for our
transgressions or iniquities.
Then we read in verse 5 that with His stripes, we are healed. Isaiah is
not talking about being healed of sins, because you don't get healed of
sins. A sinner's spirit doesn't get healed; his spirit gets born again,
and he becomes a new creature in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17).
Notice the words "sicknesses," "pains," and "healed" in Isaiah 53:4 and
5. When Isaiah said, "With His stripes, we're healed," he was talking
about being healed from the sicknesses and the pains of our bodies. Yes,
Jesus bore our sins, but, thank God, He also bore our sicknesses and
diseases.
ConfessionBecause Jesus bore my
sicknesses and diseases, I don't have to bear them. With His stripes, I
am healed.
