6 August 2017 - See the Price God Paid for Your Healing and Receive It with a Merry Heart - Pastor Joseph Prince Sermon Notes Online - New Creation Church Sermon Notes OnlineWhen you read about destroying enemies in the Old Testament, you have to apply that in your life today as spiritual enemies, such as sickness and disease. Animal sacrifices are killed in a humane way with the least possible suffering. However our Lord Jesus suffered pain before He died bodily (not spiritually) on the cross. He bore all our sins and pains in His body. The animal sacrifices are flayed (skin removed) after they are killed before they are placed on the altar. Jesus was scourged and the skin His back was all gone as well before He went on the cross. Jesus could feel physical pain. After Jesus died on the cross, He went to hell to proclaim the work of redemption to those there, before He was raised to life again on the third day. Deuteronomy 25:1-3 - Jesus was scourged using the Roman flagellum (aka cat o' nine tails). It is a octopus-like whip with many hooks, shards of bone, etc that latch onto the victim's back and when it is pulled out, the flesh of the victim is ripped out along with it. The cat o' nine tails hits the victim's back about 9 times with each blow. Jesus was beaten 40 blows with this. ““If there is a dispute between men, and they come to court, that the judges may judge them, and they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked, then it shall be, if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge will cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence, according to his guilt, with a certain number of blows. Forty blows he may give him and no more, lest he should exceed this and beat him with many blows above these, and your brother be humiliated in your sight.” (Deuteronomy 25:1-3 NKJV) Isaiah 53:4-6 - By Jesus' stripes we are healed! "Griefs" in Hebrew is "kholee" which means diseases. Kholee is a noun. The root word "Khalah" means to be worn down in strength. For example: the devil shoots you something that makes you worry and it makes you tired. "Sorrows" in Hebrews is "makob" which means pain. Jesus bore our diseases and carried our pains. The root word of heal "rapha" means to rest. The secret to receiving healing is to be restful. If you're handling an issue that wears you out in strength, then you're not supposed to be handling it - It's not God's will for you. For wives, if you want to tell/request your husband about something, wait till he's smiling, refreshed and recharged before doing so. Don't approach him when he's worn out in strength - you don't want to hear what he has to say to you and he doesn't mean it. “Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:4-6 NKJV)
I Peter 2:24-25 - "Stripes" here is "molops" in Greek which is in the singular.
The singular tense cannot be used if there was even a sliver of skin left on Jesus' back. Most people back then were either scourged or crucified. Jesus was both scourged and crucified. That's why He fell when carrying the cross - there was no skin left on His back. His bones and possibly even internal organs were exposed. Of all the pictures, animals and occupations that God uses in the Bible, the one that He loves most is of the Shepherd and His flock of sheep. The lessons from the Shepherd will teach you how to be a good leader. "Bishop" here means to oversee. God is always watching over us. The key to receive God's healing is to see yourself as a sheep who is looked after by Jesus your Shepherd. If we want to receive the healing benefits of the stripe of Jesus' we have to believe that we are the righteousness of God in Christ. “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.” (1 Peter 2:24-25 KJV)
