Healing by the Blood (Part 11 - Conclusion)
Matthew 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick So, that shows you that behind some sicknesses, there’s a devil! There’s a devil behind some sicknesses; especially schizophrenia. I can’t tell you the number of times working in a hospital – I saw that demon show up.
That’s why I had to leave [the hospital]. I was practicing something other than what they wanted me to practice. You understand what I’m saying? I had a guy one time, the only hope he had was the Holy Ghost. He had been in acid and involved in all kinds of drugs that just ate his mind and brain up.
> I laid hands on him and commanded that spirit to leave him. He chucked and spit some stuff up and said, “What was that?” > I said, ”That’s that devil exit. Now, we need to put Someone in his place.” >> And I ministered Jesus and he got born-again. He walked out and screamed, “Whoa! Whoa!” He said, “Man, what’s going on with me?” So he was saved.
Then he got to reading the Bible and he pulled me into a room and said, “Hey, I keep reading about this speaking in tongues. You thinking I can have that? What is it?” Then I went through the 7 steps of how to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost with evidence speaking in tongues. I laid my hands on him and he received it! They [the hospital] saw such a change in this guy. I got confronted:
And they gave me a group and of course everybody came. We had a little revival to breakout and all my patients left saved, filled with the Holy Ghost. Why? Because by His stripes, we’re healed! Creflo Dollar Healing by the Blood (Part 10)
God doesn’t want you sick. God does not want you dying early of sickness and disease. But you’ve got to take it off lay-a-way. It’s already been paid for. You put it on lay-a-way and He said, “I’ve already paid for it.” Clean the stockroom out. Amen. But also, Acts 10:38 says how God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power who went about doing good, healing all those that were oppressed of the devil. Amen. Therefore beloved, believe God. It does not matter what your pain or your previous experience, or how long the problem has been there. ★ It’s finished! ★
Listen, just because you have a pain or you see something doesn’t mean healing is not there. Just believe God’s Word. Step out in faith. Now, John 11:40 says, Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Now, look at Matthew 8:16-17: 16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
I told a guy one time, “Man, you’re possessed with a devil.” And he said, “So, I’ve got a devil in me? And I said, “Yeah, that’s what I said. You’ve got a devil in you. You are possessed with a devil.” He said, “Ha ha, yeah, right.” Then I said, “I would pursue it more and would let you hear, but I ain’t got time because you don’t want to let him go. So, you and the devil can get on up out of my house and go home!”
“Ha ha, so I’m possessed? Is that what you’re saying?” “Yeah, but if I laid my hands on you and start calling that thing out, it’ll blow your mind.” Because the devil doesn’t want to leave a place of security. And if he feels comfortable in you and you feel comfortable with him in there, ain’t nobody going to be able to help you until you’re tired of him living in your space. I can’t make a devil come out that you have invited in. And you keep him there because when church is over with and you’re in a corner in the dark, you and him get together and do the thing you enjoy the most. And you have a stronghold which allows him to stay there because you won’t remove the stronghold and dismiss him. And there are demons that are assisting you in your fornication and there are devils that assist you with your addiction and there are demons that are also satisfied to keep certain sicknesses and disease over your body because you invited them there. And you have provided hospitality for them. And until you get TIRED of housing a devil, only then will we be able to help you be free from him. ...continued until tomorrow's post...

Now, I don’t have to beg God to heal me. He’s my Father. I said, He’s my Father. I simply trust Him and I believe what Jesus did to secure it for me. I am His child and not a beggar. A beggar begs and is uncertain of whether or not he will receive or he can welcome all that he asks for. But a child will ask and have confidence that in the presence of his father they everything he asked for (because he’s celebrated; not tolerated) is going to show up in his life. Quit begging God and then walking away wondering if you’re going to get it. That’s not how you do it. My kids don’t come to me and start begging me. When stuff happens, they come to El-Shad-Dad. And they have confidence that El-Shad-Dad is going to come through because they don’t have to beg El-Shad-Dad because that’s MY CHILD and you do what you do for your child because of your relationship with them. But beggars are not very sure that they can stand in confidence and get it. You’ve got to see yourself as God’s child! Not begging Him to heal you.
Jesus bore all those pains for you. Not just for the fun of it. But that you may enjoy complete healing, from the head down to the toe. So don’t let the enemy deceive you. That’s what he’s trying to do. ★ God allowed His Son (think of this) to go through such agony (watch this), …for you. And He did it so that we could have sufficient evidence that your healing is His will. Now, look at this. He caused Jesus (because of His love for us) to pay for it in advance – so you can simply RECEIVE it today. And if you begin to notice the Gospel, Jesus spent a whole bunch of time ministering to the sick. Didn’t He? He took time to cast out devils and raise the dead. Didn’t He? So, if healing were not the will of God, Jesus would never have done it. Listen, if healing was not the will of God, and Jesus spent a lot of His time ministering healing to the people, then Jesus would have been out of the will of God doing that! You see some of these clowns:
It’s still the same. Because when you prosper, you prosper in your body, you prosper in your family, you prosper in you finances, you prosper in EVERYTHING! ...continued until tomorrow's post... Creflo Dollar Healing by the Blood (Part 8)
You’re not broke. You’re prosperous! The economy is trying to take what you already are away from you! So, if I’m ever around you and I sneeze, I’ll say, “I’m healed. Somebody trying to steal what I got.” I’m not going to let it happen. I’m already healed. You’re too busy, “Well, what are they going to think about?” I don’t know. I’m healed. I’m healed. (Sneeze) I’m healed. (Blowing your nose.) What’s that? That ain’t nothing. That’s something trying to take what’s mine. I boldly proclaim that through the stripes that Jesus bore, healing is available to everyone here today. You see what I mean? Some of y’all praising/raising hands. Some of y’all are looking around doubtful. So, if you believe that, be healed! You see what’s going on? We have a believing problem. The ‘believers’ are not believing. So, I need to deliver a message to you from the Dollar Household. If every preacher in the United States of America decides that they do not believe the Bible anymore, I’m NOT leaving the Word of God. I don’t care if the most famous preachers in the world decide that that is not the Word of God. I apologize in advance. I’m not leaving the Word of God because:
I’m not leaving this Word – it saved me, it sanctified me, it delivered me, it brought me from a mighty long way!!! I’m NOT leaving this Word! You do what you’ve got to do! If everybody in here decide they don’t believe the Bible no more, I would still be here preaching to the carpet because I believe the WORD of the Living God! And by His stripes, I’m healed! I’m healed! They can make it a law that whoever believes the Bible has to die – then so long! Because I am not going to come away from the only thing that has made sense out of senseless, stupid situations! I’m sticking with this Book! That’s all I’ve got! I’m healed.
I’m delivered. I’m set free. I’m healed. I receive it! I will not let His precious Blood go to waste when He paid the price for me to be healed over 2,000 years ago! And with His stripes, we ARE healed! Thank God Jesus was beaten. It wasn’t pleasurable for Him. It was terrible pain. But He was shedding His Blood through those stripes. I am not going to be able to get rid of that picture… He shed the Blood through those stripes. He was paying the price needed for healing to become legally available. Do you hear me? For it to become legally available to all of us. Now, I can reach out in faith, and I can claim complete healing from sickness and pain and disease and oppression. ...continued until tomorrow's post... Creflo Dollar Healing by the Blood (Part 7)
So, let me examine these translations again. I already did it twice, but let me do it again. Let me add a couple of translations. > The Emphasized Bible says,
> The Moffat Translation says,
> The New American Bible says,
> The New English Bible says,
> The Living Bible says,
These are different insights that God gave to these scholars concerning you know what happened when Jesus was being scourged. Those blows that fell on Him delivered unto us healing. The scourging He went through was to make us whole. He was lashed and we were healed. It’s already happened! You only need to believe it and it becomes reality in your life!
...continued until tomorrow's post... Creflo Dollar Healing by the Blood (Part 6)
Now, let’s put these all together, from these translations: · Pain · Disease · Infirmities · Sufferings
Please note in verse 4 (Isaiah 53:4), you see the first word, “Surely.” You know what he’s saying? He’s saying, “certainly.” He’s saying, “We’re not guessing this. We’re stating what actually happened. We’re not speculating. We’re speaking the truth in love. There’s nothing anyone can do against the truth, but only for the truth.” It is a true saying here when he says truly that Jesus bore our sickness and our pains in His body thereby making healing available to us. He said, “We’re not playing here, nor are we telling a story. We are saying without guessing, but certainly HE DID IT!” You can be certain it has been done! You don’t have to wonder about it. You don’t have to guess about it. You ain’t got to speculate about it. IT’S DONE! And with His stripes, we are healed! We’re healed. I mean the Bible is very emphatic about this declaration with His stripes that we are healed. So, you need to identify with that in order to experience it. If you whole-heartedly, with everything in you, identify with the stripes that Jesus bore, then you become one of the “we” that are healed. But I can sit up here and preach this and you can “know” it and never experience it because you hadn’t quite identified with everything that took place so it could be paid for so you can have it. Some of the reasons people struggle with their faith in being healed is because they don’t understand the will of God in that area. Their feelings are stronger than understanding the will of God in that area.

And You shall put Your Spirit in me and I shall live," (Eze. 37:5,14) BE ENCOURAGED! Healing by the Blood (Part 5)
I mean, that passage is one of the most significant Scriptures on redemption. It explains the divine exchange that took place when Jesus took our place. The Bible says He bore our griefs and he carried our sorrows. Now, if you really check into this…there was an author (he was a great healing evangelist) – F. F. Bosworth – who was very anointed in this area of healing and He said something in his book to really make it a lot clearer so you could understand exactly what happened here. He emphasized instead of “ours,” he said, “mine.” Mine. He took my griefs and my sorrows. Say that, “He took my griefs and He took my sorrows.” Translation for the word, “griefs” here is pains. I want to read at least 4 translations so you can see and really grasp the concept of this: > The American translation says,
____“Yeah, but the doctor said…” ____“I ain’t finished with my medicine yet…”
> The New Translation (the Jewish Bible) says this,
> The New American Bible says,

Now, this was the first major point through which the Blood of Jesus flowed out. But the question has always been, “Why was it SO brutal?” “Why did He shed His Blood though the body?” The answer is clear in Scripture: · Go with me to the book of Isaiah, chapter 53. I pray you’ll never be the same again. Please don’t let these little motion pictures fool you to make you think it wasn’t all that He went through. Do you understand? How would you like your flesh ripped open? When they were finished, it looked like raw hamburger meat. It just wasn’t some whips on His back. These stripes that came and ripped His flesh, tore His flesh off! Why would He allow Himself to go through this brutality? In Isaiah 53:4, well I want to read verse 3 – the oppression part:
yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Isaiah 53:5 - 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.
Look at the brutality that He went through. Look at the Blood that was shed…for what? So you could be what? Healed! And you’re still going to stay sick?!?!? After everything that he went through to purchase your healing?!? You still just going to stay sick??? ...to be continued in tomorrow's post... Creflo Dollar |
