One person said this Scripture meant that Christ took the sicknesses of the people who lived at that time, but it doesn't apply to us today.
However, occasionally a brave soul will come up with what he thinks is the answer to the Scripture once and for all. Most people who don't believe in divine healing stay away from this Scripture. If Jesus bore them that I might be free, why should I pray, "If it be thy will"? The Bible states that it is His will! When I made this discovery, I decided there wasn't any need for both Him and me to bear them. I don't have to bear my sicknesses any more. That brings it right down to where I live. When I read this verse and understood fully what it really meant, I rejoiced in it, for then I was able to emphasize the word "our." He took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses-and I am included in that word "our." I can say that He took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. Matthew 8:17, for example, says, "Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." It is just as ridiculous for a child of God to pray, "Lord, heal me if it be thy will." God's Word plainly tells us that Jesus already has paid the price for our healing. Therefore, the sinner doesn't have to pray "If it be thy will." God's Word also states that "whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely" (Rev. By removing hindrances to healing and by following the scriptural principles outlined in this book, the believer will hold the key to divine health.When some people pray for healing, they think they should pray, "If it be thy will." That prayer, however, is unnecessary, because God has plainly told us in His Word that it is His will to heal us.Ī sinner wouldn't pray, "Lord, save me if it be thy will." That kind of prayer would be ridiculous, because God's Word already has declared that He is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). Finally, he reveals an important recipe for life and health from the Word of God. He then sights areas of disobedience in the lives of Christians that can open the door to the devil. Hagin begins by taking a look at seven common misconceptions that block healing.
