Refresh: 21 Days of Prayer & FastingSample

Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) "He (Jesus) 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."

In the courtroom of the universe, God, the judge over all things, has ruled your healing to be a legal fact because of what Jesus has done for you. Jesus legally carried your sickness so that you don’t have to be sick.

When God wants something done on earth, He speaks it into existence and tells you to do the same. God says for you to “call those things and be not as though they are” (Romans 4:17).

That means, based on what Jesus has done for you, call yourself healed when you feel sick and call yourself strong when you feel weak.

Before they took Jesus to the cross, they took Him to the whipping post, stripped him down naked, and beat Him with a whip. The Bible says, “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” (Isaiah 53:5). His stripes purchased our healing!

Boldly make the following faith affirmation based on the various translations from Isaiah 53:3-5.

“Surely Jesus hath borne my sickness and diseases and carried my pains, He took all of my sicknesses on Himself and carried my pains. He bore them and carried them away to a distance. I don’t have to bear what He bore for me. I refuse to bear what He bore for me. Satan can’t put on me what Jesus bore for me. By Jesus’ stripes, I have healing.”

Can you see how Jesus took the punishment we deserved, and gave us the blessings He deserves?

"The Lord is my strength and shield, my heart trusts in him and I am helped" (Psalm 28:7 ESV)
