NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD PT 2

I am talking about aver the next several weeks - the 7 places Jesus shed His blood for our TOTAL REDEMPTION & VICTORY8

LAST WEEK - 1ST Place Jesus Shed His Blood Was The Garden - Won Back Our WILL POWER!

2nd place Jesus shed His Blood ....

STRIPES ON HIS BACK -- WON BACK OUR HEALTH

Isaiah 53:5 (ASV) 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.

JESUS WON BACK OUR HEALTH & PEACE OF MIND - Peace of MIND is Mental & Emotional Health!

1 Peter 2:24 (ASV) who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

JESUS was beaten with 39 stripes - A condemned man according to Jewish Law could not be beaten more than 40 times - 40th stripe was usually the fatal one.

39 Stripes Jesus received - Years ago I heard a medical doctor on TBN state that ALL diseases fall under 39 Categories .... Every Time They Laid the Whip filled with rocks, pieces of jagged metal, and bones to Jesus’ Flesh - splitting the skin & ripping his muscle -- HEALING was provided for every disease ....

Aids - Cancer - Diabetes - Muscular Dystrophy - Every Disease On Earth WAS DEFEATED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS!

Because of personal experiences of a loved one dying from sickness -- we sometimes begin thinking that Healing Isn’t For Today!

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

SO -- How do we receive this Heavenly Healing & Health Plan ....

[1] EMBRACE GOD’S WILL INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN WILL

Salvation doesn’t just mean "forgiven" -- IN FACT -- Salvation (Soteria) = Health Physically & Spiritually = MEANS "To Be Made Whole In Every Way"

3 John 1:2 (NASB77) Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.

WHERE WAS THE 1ST PLACE JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD FOR US?

In the Garden to Redeem "Our Will" -- HOLD ON -- I Believe That Our Will Being Turned Over Completely To God’s Will Has Alot To Do With Our Physical Healing!

LOOK ....

James 1:6-8 (NASB77) But let him ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

If we continually QUESTION GOD"S WILL for HEALING -- tossed back & forth between Does He or Doesn’t He Heal? -- We will never receive our healing -- WE CAN’T CAUSE GOD SAYS SO!! Why? Cause We Don’t Know What We Believe From Day To Day -- We Pay Too Much Attention To Our Symptoms!

Proverbs 4:20-23 (GW) My son, pay attention to my words. Open your ears to what I say. Do not lose sight of these things. Keep them deep within your heart because they are life to those who find them and they heal the whole body. Guard your heart more than anything else, because the source of your life flows from it.

Psalms 107:20 (NIV) He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

John 1:1-5 (NIV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

[2] REBUKE THE SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY

LUKE 13:10-12 Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the day of worship. A woman who was possessed by a spirit was there. The spirit had disabled her for 18 years. She was hunched over and couldn't stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her to come to him and said, “Woman, you are free from your disability.”

Woman bent over for 18 yrs with a crippling disease -- devilishly released on her.

I believe that Almost ALL sickness is from the devil -- WHY? –

Because the devil’s assignment to his demons in hell is to try and steal from us, kill us or destroy us somehow --

AND God doesn’t use the curse He redeemed us from to Teach Us A Lesson! NOW -- God can certainly USE the circumstances of our sickness to accomplish His purposes just like He does our bad choices we make -- BUT HE DOES NOT MAKE US SICK!

HOW DO I KNOW THIS -- I BELIEVE HIS WORD ABOVE HUMAN OPINION ....

LUKE 12:32 (NASB77) "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.

JOHN 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

JUST LIKE THE GARDEN -- satan comes to deceive us into surrendering "Our WILL TO BE HEALED POWER" back to him -- then he can steal ....

Obedience to God from us

Steal Health & Peace from us

Kill us spiritually & physically if need be

Destroy our hope, plan, purposes & dreams In Christ

ILLUSTRATION

When Adam & Eve were drove from the Garden - their place of dominion, place of divine health immortally, place of prosperity, place of heavenly peace - they were now OPEN to the design, strategies & threats of hellish beings. IN SPITE OF THEIR SIN -- God still sacrificed 2 innocent animals to cover them with their skins which also covered them In Their Blood Sacrifice -- God still provided them with a "Beginning Blood Covenant" to protect them somewhat!

Those who are "BORN AGAIN" -- Redeemed -- "Restored Back To Our Original Spiritual Position In God" -- WE ARE REDEEMED - COVERED FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE CURSE!

When the legions of hell bring sickness our way -- it’s NOT More Faith We Need -- We need to simply remind them

"I’ve been bought by the price of Christ’s Blood & You Are Trespassing On "Paid For Property! By The Blood Of Jesus Christ I Have Already Been Healed -- Sickness & Disease I Bind You From My Body & Life. Leave Me Now In The Name Of Jesus!"

SEE -- I’m not offended cause someone rebukes the works of hell off my body -- takes authority over a "Spirit of Infirmity" -- it doesn’t say anything negative about my Walk With God -- ACTUALLY -- It Says Something Positive About You

When We Pray For The Sick -- Speak To The Specific Sickness But Also Take Authority And Cast Off The Spirit Of Infirmity That May Be Linked To That Sickness Or Disease!

MARK 9:17-29 (NKJV) Then one of the crowd answered and said, "Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not." He answered him and said, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me." Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood. And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us." Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!" Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?" So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."

Jesus didn’t offer up a beautiful, eloquent, churchy, unoffensive prayer -- He spoke directly to the demon involved in tormenting this child - He called the spirit by name and commanded it to leave!

[3] APPLY THE BLOOD

REMEMBER THIS -- FROM JOHN 1 -- Jesus was the WORD from the very beginning of time -- When we "Speak The Word Of God" we are releasing the Power Of His Blood

I AM What God’s Word Says I AM

I CAN DO What God’s Word Says I CAN DO

I CAN HAVE What God’s Word Says I CAN HAVE

ROMANS 8:1-11 (NKJV) There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

PHILIPPIANS 3:12-13 (NASB77) Not that I have already obtained it, or have already become perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of "THAT" for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

SO -- JUST REMEMBER THESE LETTERS ...

E = EMBRACE GOD’S WILL

R = REBUKE THE SPIRIT OF INFIRMITY

A = APPLY THE BLOOD
