My Legal Rights

When He imposes diseases upon me, I have a right to say to him, “Satan, those diseases were borne in the body of Jesus and you have no right to bring their photograph around here and frighten me with them.

“Those diseases were unconditionally put away, and I am free from disease as the body of Jesus was when He rose from the dead. For I am in Christ Jesus and you cannot put those things on me.”

And if Satan should attack my body, all I have to do is to call my Father’s attention to the fact, and the disease must go, because I am free! I know that “by His stripes, I am healed.” If I am healed, I am healed! I know that by His resurrection I am justified, and I do not need to be re-justified: I am justified. I know that by His life I am made alive, and I am alive! I know that I died with Him; I know that I rose with Him; and I know that I am in Him.

I know that by His stripes I am healed; then I am healed, and if I am healed, I am well, thank God! I have no more to do with my healing than I have to do with my resurrection, for He is my resurrection! He is my healing. He said, “I am the resurrection and the life.”

He is my resurrection; He is my life; He is my healing; He is my health; He is my victory; He is my all and in all. Now, I simply recognize the fact that He healed me in His substitutionary work, and because of that I am healed.

The hour is coming when this kind of knowledge will be so common that men and women who are in Christ and walking in Him will be healed the moment they are afflicted, and they will live in perfect health in the body as well as soul and spirit.

They will live like this until their bodies are worn out and they fall asleep in Christ. There is no more need of our bearing about in our bodies our sicknesses than there is of bearing about in our spiritual nature an unforgiven sin.
