THE CHURCH IS STILL THE CHURCH



Deuteronomy 7:15 And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.
-
Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely He hath borne our griefs (Hebrew: sicknesses) and carried our sorrows (Hebrew: pains) 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 by His stripes we are healed.
-
1 Peter 2:24 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.
-
Acts 5:16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
-
LORD, thank You for Your Word that You would take away from us all sickness, and would not afflict us with any of the terrible diseases of Egypt which we have known.
-
JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, He has borne our sicknesses and carried our sorrows. He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; 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 WE WERE AND ARE HEALED. Thank You, LORD.
-
LORD, in the Book of Acts 5:16 there were multitudes that were gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem that brought sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were ALL healed when they were brought to Your body of believers.
-
Father God, there are multitudes today that are gathered from surrounding cities where we live that are sick and who are tormented by unclean spirits that need to be healed. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and Your church is still the same church written about in the Book of Acts.
-
LORD, there are sick folk even among us who need to be healed. We pray we will follow and obey Your Holy Spirit to do the work You commanded us to do which includes healing the sick. As for those of us that are also sick, LORD, we claim Your Healing Word for us too. In Jesus name. Amen
