HEALING POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS

Through the blood of the Lamb we have healing. The balm of Gilead of the Old Testament is a type of the blood of Christ. "Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of My people recovered?" (Jer 8:22).

Forgiveness of sin and healing of sickness go together. "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases" (Psa 103:3). If the blood of Jesus can wash away sins, it can also heal. In fact, it can do much more than that - a blood-washed saint's life can be sheltered from plagued. In the Old Testament the blood-sprinkled house was protected from the plague - "When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you" (Exo 12:13). In the New Testament Jesus is the Pascal Lamb slain for us. "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we aer healed" (Isa 53:5).

Dear reader, sin is one main cause for sickness. In many places we read of Jesus forgiving sins before healing the sickness. Sin enables the devil to enter a person's life, and then captivate him through sickess. If a person is washed from his sins by the blood of Jesus the devil cannot work; he cannot bring sickness into his life.
