Healing in the Gospel

[Cee]

Scripture teaches taking communion unworthily caused sickness and death. No other example in Scripture of this, except for lying to the Holy Spirit.

Scripture teaches that we were healed through Jesus' body being torn. Same as the bread being torn when we take communion.

Scripture teaches that healing is the children's bread. Bread is part of communion.

Sickness is a curse in Deuteronomy, Jesus became a curse for us.

Sickness entered the world through sin. Jesus took sin upon Him.

Let's talk about the Gospel...

Romans 10:13For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?[SUP]c[/SUP] And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Notice Paul links the Gospel to this phrase in Isaiah... which is here:

Isaiah 53:1 Who has believed what he has heard from us?1 And to whom has hthe arm of the Lord been revealed?
2 For he grew up before him like a young plant,
iand like a root out of dry ground;
jhe had no form or majesty that we should look at him,
and no beauty that we should desire him. << (No Armani suits God4Me)
3 kHe was despised and rejected2 by men;
a man of sorrows,3 and acquainted with4 grief;5
and as one from whom men hide their faces6
he was despised, and lwe esteemed him not.
4 mSurely he has borne our griefs << (sicknesses/diseases)
and carried our sorrows; << (pains)

This is referenced in:

Matthew 8:17 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”

yet we esteemed him stricken,
nsmitten by God, and afflicted.
5 oBut he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities; << (Sin passed down through generations)
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, << (Peace with God)
pand with his wounds we are healed. << (Healing by His Stripes)
6 qAll we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned—every one—to his own way;
rand the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all. << (We have no iniquity on us)

We see the connection between iniquity and diseases in Psalm 103:

Psalm 103:3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases

 

[Th0mas]

Transcendent praise, the splendor in this masterpiece called by many “The First Christian Hymnal,” has been made accessible for today’s worshipers.

It is a legacy of worship passed down from the first believers. Now all the mystery and majesty of the Spirit-led vision has been re-voiced in The Odes Project.

A pilgrimage of praise that continues to this day, The Odes Project connects us directly to our first brothers and sisters in the faith.

I actually find this very interesting. Notice that their focus was on "putting the love of the Lord" not on "focusing on not sinning". I have been praying and seeking God about this very thing. I believe that it is our lack of love, our lack of receiving love, and our lack of understanding love through the gospel that is actually one of the biggest hindrances to revealing Christ to the Earth. He revealed Himself to us through love, it makes since He would do the same for others. Taking them where they are at, just like He took us.
