The Lord Jesus, repeatedly tried to teach His Apostles about His approaching death by crucifixion, and His descent into Hades and His Resurrection, during His earthly Ministry. Tertullian, one of the early Church fathers stated that the belief that Jesus descended into Hades and preached there, had been held in the Church since the days of the apostles, his testimony is of great value since Tertullian censured anything that was new. Can you remember, if, or when, you heard a sermon on how Jesus descended into Hades, and suffered its horrific birth pangs? This important “truth” has been held by the Church from the Day of Pentecost, and was taught by our Lord during His earthly and post-resurrection ministry to the Apostles and His Disciples. Peter majored on Christ’s descent into Hades in his first sermon on the day of Pentecost, and Paul and Peter did the same in their writings. It is a most appalling fact that few preachers preach at any depth on the terrible emotional bruising and dreadful mental pressures that Jesus suffered all His life, and during the anguish, torment, and horrors of Gethsemane, His Passion, and His descent into Hades. ![]() We can have what you say (Mark 11:23).By His stripes (literally "bruise"), we are healed Let us take the Word of God concerning healing to heart, believe it, and act on it! Confess that word over your lives every day until manifestation occurs. Let us embrace the will of God and receive our healing by faith. When symptoms try to come and make us doubt, we are to remind ourselves of the Word and believe because God is faithful to keep His Word. To receive healing, we just need to believe what Christ has done for us and declare it over our lives. He wants us well because He loves us and also so we can fulfill our assignments on earth. The Word of God is God’s will for our lives. The curses were poverty and sickness, but thanks to Jesus who fulfilled the law and redeemed us from the curse of the law – now by his stripes we are healed! Healing is our portion and God desires us to walk in healing. In the Old Testament, Deuteronomy 28, God reveals the blessings that come from obedience and curses that come from disobedience. Galatians 3:13 declares, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”Ĭhrist redeemed us from the curse of the law which was poverty, sickness, and the second death which is separation from God. He also died to redeem us from the curse of the law. Jesus did not just die to free us from our sins. In 1 Peter 2:24 the Bible declares, “ …by His stripes ye were healed.” Through Christ’s death at the cross, He provided healing for us and if it was not God’s will for us to be healed, he would not have gone to the cross but He did. I would like to emphasize that, yes, healing is the will of God and here are a few scriptures that talk about it. There are many teachings concerning healing and if it is the will of God. When I got born again, I began to learn about healing and the will of God concerning healing. ![]()
