Lesson 24


Healing

Concept:
After the fall of Adam and Eve, the Lord shows 
us that He has a heart of restoration as He kills 
animals and clothes Adam and Eve. The sacrifice, 
the blood of the animals and the clothing of Adam 
and Eve was of course, pointing toward what Jesus 
was going to do for us on the cross. The skins of 
the animals were used as covering, which shows 
that we are to put on Christ and receive Him as 
our protection from the conditions of the world 
in which we live. This also shows us that the Lord 
does not just deal with surface issues but His 
heart is to take care of the root issues of these 
consequences. That is why the blood of Christ was 
shed for sin and all of the consequences that sin 
brought into this world. We also see that the first 
redemptive name that was given to us is Jehovah Rapha. 
That name means I am the Lord that Heals. Healing is 
the attribute of a loving Father. His healing is meant 
to touch every aspect of our lives. Every area of our 
lives can be healed and restored as we freely receive 
the consequences of what Jesus did for us on the cross 
and the subsequent resurrection. Jesus paid the full 
price, so I could receive healing in all parts of my 
life whether emotional, physical, or circumstantial. 
His broken body and shed blood cover everything needed 
for my redemption. 

The wages of sin is death and that death can reveal 
itself in my life situations in a lot of different ways. 
One way that sin shows up in the naturalness of our 
lives is through sickness. I am not saying that if you 
are sick that it is because of your sin, but it is a 
result of sin. The brokenness of the world may cause me 
to experience brokenness at times and I need a savior 
to come and put me back together again. John 9:1-12 is 
an example, where the sin that is in the world caused 
a man to be born blind. Jesus simply explained the 
situation and gave the man his complete healing. In 
Luke 5:17-26, we see another account where Jesus explained 
that sickness was the cause of the man’s physical condition. 
Jesus released the power of sin off the man and he was 
healed. The bottom line is that whether it is the sin that 
is in the world or the sins that I have committed, the 
Lord has made provisions for me to be set free from the 
power and presence of sin in my life. In my life, I always 
assume that destruction in my life is because I have missed 
the mark. It isn’t my fault all the time, but I have found 
it is certainly a good place to start my investigation. If 
I am at fault, I will repent and then resist the enemy’s 
attack and receive my healing. If it isn’t my failure, I will 
resist the enemy and receive my healing. In either case, I 
will be healed and set free.

I am convinced that the Cross paid the full price for 
all of my brokenness. The blood brought forgiveness and 
Jesus’ broken body purchased my healing. When the Lord 
purchased me by shedding His blood, I believe that we 
were totally redeemed in spirit, soul, and body. That 
payment of sin set me free from all aspects of sin. If 
I receive what Christ accomplished on the cross, I can 
have spiritual life, physical and emotional health, and 
circumstantial provision. Our Jewish brothers used the 
word Shalom as a greeting, which meant peace in every part 
of your being.  Let’s allow shalom to manifest in all 
aspects of our being. 

As we study the life of Jesus we know that we are seeing 
the heart of God in manifestation. We are captivated by 
His willingness to go anywhere and set people free of their 
bondage. (Acts 10:38) His mission statement was declared 
in Luke 4:18-22, when He emphatically stated that He would 
set the prisoner free. Matthew 9:35 states, that Jesus taught,
preached, and healed everywhere He was allowed. The leper 
in Matthew 8:1-4 asked the Lord a question we all have desired 
to ask; are you willing to heal me? Jesus answered the question 
for him and us when He said emphatically “Be Clean” and his 
disease was in the past and health was in his future. In Luke 
13:10-17 we once again see the heart of God as Jesus with an 
expression of loud emotion cries out and states that this
daughter of Abraham who Satan has buffeted and bound should 
have the opportunity to be set free. He then responds to the 
need by healing the broken daughter immediately. The disciples 
in Luke 9:1 were commanded to cure diseases as they traveled 
and spoke in the villages of Israel. If it wasn’t the will of
God to heal, the Lord would never have commanded His disciples 
to preach, heal and bring deliverance to the people they meet 
on the way. I Peter 2:24 sums up what I am saying the best, when 
Peter states that Jesus’ stripes has brought healing to everyone.
Notice the past tense of the statement. When did this take 
place? The answer of course is at the cross when Jesus was 
beaten and made to be sin that knew no sin, so that we who 
know sin could be released from the penalty and power of sin. 

Jesus desired that we all be set free from the emotional 
bondage and physical hindrance that so easily plagues us 
while we walk in this sinful environment of the earth. He 
has come to destroy the work of the devil and to present us 
spotless before His Father. Just as Psalms 105:37 states, 
that all Israel left Egypt healed, then we should be able 
to leave this earth healed also. Plus while we are on this 
earth there is healing and deliverance for us. What a great 
God we serve, He has taken care of all aspects of our life.

Summary: 
As we have just finished reading all of the 
scriptures that relate to our healing, I 
think there are many facts that are tremendously 
important. One fact is that our sickness was 
paid for through the redemptive work of Christ 
on the cross.  According to the picture in 
Isaiah 53, our sins and sickness were paid for 
by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 
That is why I Peter 2:24 can say we were healed 
by his stripes and washed by His blood. Isaiah 
53 is specific in the use of each Hebrew word 
so that we as students can see that He became 
a bruise and was made to be sin, so that we 
would know that He carried the complete load 
on that great day of freedom. I don’t have to 
carry what He has already carried. John 9, which 
we read shows us that not all diseases are tied 
to my sin but all diseases are tied to “universal 
sin”. But the good news is: Jesus took care of both 
cases. Luke 5 is very specific to point out that the 
paralytic’s disease was a result of his sin but 
Jesus forgave it and released him and sent him to 
the streets rejoicing. 


Another fact is we have to be fully persuaded that 
Jesus Christ paid the full price or the devil will 
convince us that the Lord gave us a sickness to 
chastise us or to teach us a lesson. If that doesn’t 
work, then the devil will try to convince us that our 
disease is the one that the Lord will not heal. 
There is no darkness in the Lord and James 1:17 states 
that only good gifts come from the Lord. There is no 
denying that sickness comes and I try and learn as 
much as I can in every situation that I find myself, 
but I am convinced that my Loving Father doesn’t give 
me sickness as a gift. We need to meditate Matthew 8:1-4 
and allow the word to paint a picture in our soul of 
the willingness of the Lord to heal every time and for 
His Glory. 

Also I am well aware that healing is a place of 
controversy since all of us have prayed for good 
people and they have died. But we need to always 
contend for life when people are alive on this side 
of heaven and then rejoice when they cross over to 
the other side. We are people who are “saved”. That 
means we are whole in spirit, soul, and body. I may 
not be fully there are this moment but I am standing 
my ground against the enemy who is always trying to 
steal what Jesus has purchased for me. I want to stand 
in faith believing and know that I am closer today to 
a full manifestation than I was yesterday. Don’t grow 
weary in well doing because you will reap all the 
benefits of the cross if you hold fast. There is a 
salvation for the spirit (past tense), soul (present 
tense), and body (present and future). 

Action:
Study the words that are used in Isaiah 53. 
Look up definition and allow the amplification 
of the words explode the reality of the heart 
of the Father toward your healing of soul
and body.
