Just Don't Give Up! - Part 6: The Bright Side

DAY 6 OF 7

Stay Healthy

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” – Isaiah 53:5

Healing miracles are found throughout the Bible. Why is that so? Because diseases are not part of God’s original design for us. They do not belong to the purpose of God in us. In Jesus’ ministry, most of the miracles He performed were about healing. That assures us not just that He was able, but He is also still able to heal our sickness today! God desires to restore our brokenness.

Isaiah 53:5 reminds us that Jesus’ stripes are above all diseases. Sickness cannot rule over us. It is under His authority. The word “healed” used in this verse refers to the Hebrew word “Rapha,” which means a cure for physical illness. God is able and willing to heal us. His death on the cross has declared not only victory over sins but also victory over death. No sickness stands against His authority!

Looking back on what I went through in the last few months, I reflected that life is just temporary. I recalled the Bible verse saying, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Oh, how much time I had spent worrying and stressing over things in this world. Cancer changed my perspective. It transformed the way I see life. It reset my priorities. It repurposed my days. It gave me the clarity to focus on loving God and people.

If you are sick today, no matter how severe it is, His stripes are an assurance of your healing. Claim it. Experience His miracle. Do not focus on your sickness. Focus on the healing that Jesus can do for you. Live out this faith. Trust in the power of His Name. Have assurance that He can heal you completely, whether a mental or physical illness.

Proclaim the name of Jesus Christ over your sickness. Believe that He is more than able to heal you, and He wants to heal you. You will be a living witness that the Word is true and miracles exist!

Healing miracles in the name of Jesus are real
