By His Stripes

As I sit here, I can't stop thinking about something a Christian church leader said to me yesterday at a men's meeting. I was saying how I believe our faith is the key to healing, and he looked at me and said I know God heals some, but I do not believe He heals all. Wow, in my spirit I was ready to cry, I mean my bible says "and by His stripes we are healed" ("Isa. 53:5"). this word (are) is past tense it's already been done! The word doesn't say by His stripes you might get healed, or if you are lucky I will heal you, the word clearly says you are healed! Fast forward to Matthew 9:29 Jesus says " according to your faith let it be to you", and the blind man was healed. then a woman with a flow of blood for 12 years just wanted to touch the hem of His robe and He turned to her and says to her in Matt.9:22 " be of good cheer daughter; your faith has made you well". In Luke Jesus heals the leper, Luke 17:19 He says "Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well." I could keep going and some other time I may. Brothers and sisters we need to understand that God loves us, He loves you! The Lord is not sitting on His throne deciding who gets healed and who doesn't, He has already provided healing for all "By His stripes we are healed". You see, I believe that we need to study the word of God so that it will start to manifest itself inside of us and once we can see the promises of God in our hearts we will be able to bring forth, through the Holy Spirit that lives within us the power of healing, and all the other gifts our Lord has promised to us. In the old testament we were Gods servants, but after our Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled all He came here to do and ascended to the right hand of the Father,- Galatians, and Ephesians says we became His children, heirs to His throne. So why wouldn't He have provided for us all who walk with Christ healing?
Just something to ponder.
