God’s Word Heals You

“He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed.”
We talk about faith in the Word, nothing wrong in that, but it is when Isaiah 53:4 (NKJV) becomes a reality in our spirit, “Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.” He was stricken and smitten with our diseases and sins and then the Word declares in the fifth verse “By His stripes we are healed.” We read it and meditate upon it and we know that it is true.
Jeremiah 1:12 (ESV) “I am watching over my word to perform it.” We know that the Father watched over His Word and that He will make that Word good in us. He said, “Surely He hath borne our sickness and carried our diseases,” therefore we do not need to carry them. They cannot be part of us because He put our diseases and sins on Jesus – (2 Corinthians 5:21).
The righteousness of God cannot be sick and cannot be ruled by sin. Satan has no dominion over the Righteousness of God unless we give it to him and it is the Word that makes us masters of satan. Mark 16:17 (NKJV) “In My name they will cast out demons.” It is the Word that has taught us the value of the Name, the authority of the Name and our legal right to the use of the Name. So it is the Word in reality that has healed us.
