YOUR HEALING IS PAID FOR! “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. 53:5).

he blood of Jesus Christ has purchased our freedom. Yes, He purchased our freedom—spirit, soul, and body. When we read chapter 53 of Isaiah, we can clearly see this truth exposed. In verse 4 we read: “Surely He (Jesus) has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.” The Hebrew word for “grief” here is “choliy.” This word actually means anxiety, calamity, disease, or sickness. It is derived from a root word “chalah” which means to be weak, sick or afflicted. When we see this word translated “grief” in the King James Version of the Bible, we can see that it includes a whole lot more than just grieving. Now take a look at the word “sorrows.” The Hebrew word for “sorrows” is “makob.” This word has in it the definitions of anguish, poverty, affliction, and pain. It is derived from a root word “kaab” which means to feel pain, to have pain, to make sad. As we begin to dig into the Word of God, we begin to uncover priceless treasures and life giving truth that only His Word has to offer. A more accurate translation then of Isaiah 53:4 would be: “Surely

He has borne our anxieties and sicknesses, and carried our anguish, and pain.” Praise God! Do you know what this means? Jesus bore our anxieties and sicknesses, so we wouldn’t have to bare them. He also carried our mental anguish and pain away so we wouldn’t have to endure them as well. To fully understand this, we need to look at two other words in this passage of scripture. The ﬁrst is the word “borne.” The Hebrew word for “borne” is “nasa” which means to bear in a sense of suffering punishment for something. In Leviticus 5:1 we see it written: “And if a soul sin...then he shall bear [nasa] the punishment for his iniquity.” This means Jesus became our substitute. He bore the punishment of sickness in our stead. This same Hebrew word, “nasa” is used in Isaiah 53:12, “and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare [nasa] the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” How did Jesus bare our sins? He did it vicariously, as our substitute. No one argues with that fact that we needed a divine intercessor for our sins. But I want you to realize that Jesus also came and vicariously bore our sicknesses, poverty, and pain the exact same way!

Yes, it is true: Jesus Christ not only suffered emotionally, by being rejected, but He shed His blood for our sin nature and for our physical bodies as well. First Corinthians 6:19-20 makes it clear: “What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” The word “bought” here means “I buy or redeem.” Christ has bought us wholly, making us His property at the price of His shed blood. The work of the cross was complete. Nothing was left undone. He has purchased our freedom, from spiritual death, physical sickness, mental illness, and material lack. Galatians 3:13 says, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written “Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” The word “redeemed” here is actually a stronger word than bought, and it actually means to purchase out or redeem away from. You Are Free In Deuteronomy 28, you will see everything that the curse of the law has to offer. Sickness, poverty, and lack are all included in the curse. And we have been purchased out and away from it all.

Your Voice of Healing January 2011 I want to boldly proclaim something has already paid for your freedom! You don’t have to get entangled again into to you today: that Christ has purthat bondage, chased you out of, and away from, the curse of sickness in all its forms. FOR YOU ARE FREE! Glory to God! You have been set free; Rev.

DON’T BE TALKED OUT OF YOUR

HEALING

by Kenneth E. Hagin

n a Full Gospel church in one of our western states there was a man who had been born with a deformed foot and a leg that was about four inches shorter than the other. He couldn’t walk without crutches due to his crippled condition. His deformed leg was not as big as the other one; it had not grown right. But in one of my healing meetings in the church, he got healed. His crippled leg grew out to the same length as the other, and his deformed foot straightened out. At 37 years of age, this man was able to wear the ﬁrst matching pair of shoes he had ever worn in his life.

Without thinking, the pastor agreed. “I just slid down the wall and sat on the sidewalk. I don’t know what people thought, because I picked up my ankle and foot in my hands and yelled out loud, ‘No, you don’t, Mr. Devil! You “You all know me.
