Miracle Healing In Jesus' Atonement
An Andrew Wommack teaching on Jesus Healing
MIRACLE HEALING IN JESUS' ATONEMENT, a teaching on Jesus Healing from the Discipleship Evangelism Course
By Andrew Wommack, International Author and Bible Teacher
Today's
session is about miracle healing in Jesus and how it is part of what Jesus has already
purchased for us. In Mark Chapter 2 and Luke Chapter 5 of the Bible,
Jesus was teaching in a house so crowded that a paralyzed man was let
down through the roof by friends to where He sat, and Jesus miraculously
healed him. In Matthew 8:14-16 (Holy Bible), after Jesus had been
healing people, the Bible says, "And when Jesus came into Peter's house,
he saw his wife's mother lying down and sick of a fever. And He touched
her hand, and the fever left her, and she arose and served them. When
the evening came, they brought to Him many who were possessed with
devils; and He cast the spirits out with a word, and healed all that
were sick." Then verse 17 gives the reason for this happening: "That it
might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Isaiah saying, 'He
Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses." In this
instance, Jesus was healing many people, and it specifically refers back
to and quotes the Bible Book of Isaiah 53:3-4,."He is despised and
rejected of men (Author's Note: This is a prophecy about the Lord Jesus
Christ); a man of sorrows, and accompanied with grief; and we hid our
faces from Him: He was despised and we esteemed Him stricken, smitten of
God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was
bruised for our sins; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by
His stripes we are healed."
These are powerful passages of
Scripture, showing the miracle healing in Jesus. Some people take them and say, "Wait a minute, this is
talking in a spiritual sense." The church I was brought up in didn't
believe in physical healing for the body.They would take a scripture
like this and spiritualize it--use it to say we were wounded
emotionally, and when we commit our lives to the Lord Jesus, He heals us.
But if we put this passage together with the passages we started with,
it forever ends that application of these scriptures. It's true that
Jesus will heal you emotionally and in other ways, but these scriptures
are talking miracle healing by Jesus, about physical healing for the body. You can see that
because in Matthew 8:17, it says that these healings that took place
were the fulfillment of the prophecy spoken by Isaiah we just read, "By
His stripes we are healed." It says this was the fulfillment that He
Himself took our infirmities and bore all our sicknesses. This is
talking about physical sicknesses, hurts, and pains. Jesus healed people
physically to fulfill the scripture that says we are healed by His
stripes, the lashings He took before He was crucified on the Cross for
the sins of all mankind...This is the reason for miracle healings through Jesus' Atonement.
The Bible goes on to say in 1 Peter
2:24, "Who His own self bore our sins in His own body, on the tree, that
we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness; and by whose
stripes you were healed." This is in the past tense. Jesus came, and part
of what He came to do was to heal your physical body. I am not
diminishing the fact that He also came to forgive your sins. That's
important, and forgiveness of sins is like the doorway, the entrance to
everything else, but He didn't come only to forgive your sins He also
came to heal your body, to give you miracle healings in Jesus' Atonement. The Greek, the word used for salvation in the
New Testament is SOZO, an all-encompassing word that applies to many
different things .But if you look it up, it's also translated "healed."
James 5:14 in the Bible states: "Is there any sick among you? Let them
call the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him
with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith will save the
sick." The word "save" there is the Greek word SOZO, and it is talking
about the sick being physically healed in their bodies. This same word
that was translated forgiveness of sins hundreds of times in the New
Testament was also translated healed, miracle healings in Jesus.
When Jesus sent His
disciples out in Matthew Chapter 10 of the Bible, the command He gave
them was to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils, and preach the Gospel (The Kingdom of Heaven is near you). In
the same breath that He told them to preach the Gospel, He told them to
heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out devils. Healing is just
as much part of what Jesus came to accomplish in your life as
forgiveness of all your sins.
In the same way you would never
think that the Lord, the Holy God, would want you to commit a sin to
teach you that you could learn something through your sin, He would
never want you to live in sickness. God is not the author of sickness
in your life. Sometimes people say things like, "Well, this sickness is
really a blessing from God because it turned me to Him." It's true
that in a crisis situation people turn to God, but He doesn't send
sickness to teach you. He wouldn't do that anymore than He would put
sin on you. Can you learn something if you go live in sin? If you live a
life of adultery or homosexuality, that God calls sin in the Bible, and
get some disease as a result of it, can you learn that the lifestyle
was wrong? Certainly you can, but God didn't cause you to live that
lifestyle. He didn't put sin in your life, yet you can learn from
sinning. You can beat your head against the wall and learn that it's
not the thing to do, but you could also learn that without physically
beating your head against the wall.You don't have to learn everything by
hard knocks. God does not put sickness in your life to humble you and
teach you something. Jesus died to forgive you of your sins and also
heal you of your diseases. He bore your sins in His own body, and by
His stripes you were healed...providing for you miracle healing in Jesus!
You can receive miracle healing in Jesus' Atonement.
God's supernatural divine healing is
available to all of us and is part of the Atonement that Jesus died on
the Cross to produce for you. If you aren't receiving your healing,
God's not upset with you. You don't have to be healed to be loved
unconditionally by God. You can believe in Jesus Christ, love God with
your whole heart, not believe in healing, and still go to heaven. As a
matter of fact you'll probably get there quicker because you don't know
how to walk in health. But you know what--It's available to you. Jesus
died to provide it for you. God wants you to be well.
There is miracle healing in Jesus' Atonement, freely available to you.
