SCRIPTURE: He
is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we
esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried
our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and
afflicted. 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. - Isaiah 53:3-5
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Any sickness, pain or sorrow you are currently experiencing is not of God; it is of the devil.
Beloved, from our anchor Scripture above, you see that Jesus
already carried your pain, sorrow, sickness and grief. This means that
any sickness, pain or sorrow you may be experiencing currently is not of
God; it is of the devil.
Now, a little illustration will portray this better: In the days of
slavery in America, they used to put slaves in stands, like they put
horses in stables for sale. It was also a normal practice for slave
masters to sell slaves who were members of a family to different slave
buyers. There was this slave girl whose mother was separated from her,
and intended to be sold to a different slave buyer. This meant they
would be losing contact for life. So, the girl began to weep profusely.
Incidentally, a wealthy American was passing by with his son and the
little boy saw the girl weeping. His heart went out to her. Then he
asked his father to buy the slave girl for him. His father did so. Then
the boy said to the girl: “I did not buy you to take you. I bought you
to set you free. Now you can follow your mother.”
Hallelujah! She was free forever because a price was paid for her.
Beloved, that was what Jesus Christ did for us! He paid the price
for our freedom from sin and affliction when He suffered and died for
us. Before His crucifixion, He was carried to the garden of Gethsemane,
where He agonized until blood came out of His sweat glands. They spat on
His face, slapped Him and put a crown of thorns on His Head. They
flogged Him until His back was sorely lacerated. Then He hung on that
Cross and then gave up the ghost. When He said, “It is finished,” He was
lowered into the grave.
What a wonderful Saviour! Thank You Jesus!
Beloved, understand that all that suffering was because of the
affliction of mankind. He was not beaten and crucified for Himself. He
is saying to you: “I paid the price for your freedom. They beat Me so
you can be set free.” Beloved, accept and walk in the consciousness of
that freedom today.
Right now, every claim of the slave master, satan the devil, over
your life is being broken by the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross.
Receive your healing and deliverance, in Jesus’ Name!
Remember this: Any sickness, pain or sorrow you may be experiencing currently is not of God; it is of the devil.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Thank the Lord for suffering for you on the Cross of Calvary.
2. Make demands for the freedom purchased for you by the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary.
3. Return every affliction and bondage back to the devil because Jesus already set you free from them.
