When you know that, “By His stripes you are healed” and you know it as you know that two and two are four, the adversary will have no power over you. If there is no condemnation, disease cannot Lord it over you. If you are a New Creation, then there is no condemnation for you. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus” - to the New Creation. You are a New Creation created in Christ. This shows how near you are to Him “I am the vine, ye are the branches.” God is a part of what He said. You are a joint receiver in all that Christ did and is. You are not only His Son, but you are a joint-heir with Jesus. “That which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.” This is a statement of Fact. He says that you are His Son, born from Above. He said, “Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a New Creation.” That is His declaration. The diseases have been put away, so sickness and disease shall not lord it over you. God said, “By His stripes ye were healed” so that ends the discussion. Disease and sickness are settled because God said that He had settled them. The sin problem is a settled problem because God said it was settled. “But now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the Sacrifice of Himself.” Hebrews 9:26 All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned everyone to his on way and Jehovah hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:5. “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. It is a problem of the integrity of the Word. When He climaxes that statement with, “By His stripes we are healed,” we know that we are healed. So when He says, “Surely He hath borne our sicknesses and carried our diseases, Yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted” we know that our diseases were laid on Him. God’s Character and Jesus’ character are involved in what the Father or Jesus has Spoken. The Throne of God is in back of what He has Spoken. When you read what Jesus said, or you hear it read, you are hearing God, you are hearing the Living Word. What you say reveals the real “you.” People come to trust in the “you” in your voice. God’s Word is a part of Himself, just as your word is a part of you. What God says is never “maybe” it is always made good. Here is the foundation for faith, the Living Word of God. He became sick with our diseases, that we might be healed. It is wrong for us to have sickness and disease in our bodies when God laid those diseases on Jesus. It was wrong for Him to bear them if we are going to bear them too. We have no right to live in sin and to bear those hateful habits that make life a curse, because Christ bore them. We have come to believe that it is just as wrong for a believer to bear his sickness when Jesus bore it, as it is for him to bear his sins when Christ bore them. “Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” Matthew 8:17.
