His Program
Now, if we understand His program for today, the sick would simply be healed the moment that sickness touched them.
“If the Spirit that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, He that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall also quicken, (or heal), your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
This does not have reference to our Resurrection; it refers to our bodies now (mortal means death-doomed). Our bodies will not be mortal in the grave, neither will the spirit be in them then.
This is a part of the program the Spirit dwells in us for that purpose.
That is not the only purpose, but that is one of the reasons of His indwelling-to heal our physical bodies of the diseases that are continually attaching themselves to us. When we understand this, we shall not be trying to exercise faith for our healing, or for any other need-we shall simply recognize the fact that this healing, this Reed, is in the program is a part of it, and we shall accept what belongs to us.
Take this Scripture as an illustration. “Whom His own self bare our sins in I lis body upon the tree that we having died unto sin might live unto righteousness. By whose stripes ye were healed,” or by whose bruisings we are healed.
He bore our sins in His body on the tree and He died because of those sins, and we believe that we died with Him, Then we do not have to die again to sin.
