Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that the Lord is God.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
As Dr. Sandra Kennedy states in her book, “Healing Treasures From The Word of God,” “Isaiah 41:10 is a glorious scripture! It assures us that God is with us. He is here to help us, and He has obligated Himself to lift us up and strengthen us. Therefore, we do not have to fear. He will see that your healing comes forth! If He said it, HE WILL DO IT! God says in Isaiah 49:16 that He has inscribed us in the palm of His hand. He will never release His hold on us. No one is able to snatch us out of the Father’s hand! Praise the Lord!”
If you feel overloaded and abused, read Isaiah 53:4-5 [from Dr. Sandra Kennedy’s MUST HAVE easy reference book on Healing, “Healing Treasures From The Word of God:”]
Isaiah 53: 4-5: “Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken [referring to Jesus, the Messiah, tortured and sacrificed], smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we were healed.”
Dr. Kennedy states: This passage contains fundamental truths concerning God’s divine provision for mankind. It shows healing to be at the very center of God’s will. Many have said these verses refer to spiritual healing, but they actually refer to physical healing. Dr. Isaac Leeser, a renowned Jewish scholar, translates verse 4 as “Our diseases did He bear himself and our pains He carried.”
…Dr. Kennedy continues: …”.griefs literally means sickness, disease, weakness, and the word sorrows literally means “pains.” This means Jesus took upon Himself our sicknesses and pains. So it becomes obvious that if He took them, there is no need for you and I to bear them.”
” Verse 5 says Jesus was wounded and afflicted on our behalf because of our sins. It clearly states that by the stripes upon His body, we are healed. We were healed and we are healed. It is a done deal! As surely as He took care of the sin problem, He also took care of the sickness problem. It took no more to do one than the other. If we believe we are saved through the finished work of the Cross, surely we can believe that by His stripes we are healed! This passage is affirmed in the New Testament in Matthew 8:17 and First Peter 2:24.”
“For many, this scripture in Isaiah presents a dilemma. Did God lie when He made such a statement? can He be trusted? The Bible declares from Genesis to Revelation that God cannot lie and that He can be trusted! Note the word peace in Verse 5. That is a translation of the Hebrew word shalom, which means wholeness and completeness, and it carries the connotation of nothing broken, nothing missing, nothing lacking. Our heavenly Father left nothing undone when He sent His Son to take our place on the Cross. He made us WHOLE- spirit, soul and body!”
