My Healing by His Sacrifice and Righteousness

Romans 3:24-25Amplified Bible (AMP)
24 and are being justified [declared free of the guilt of sin, made acceptable to God, and granted eternal life] as a gift by His [precious, undeserved] [a]grace, through the redemption [the payment for our sin] which is [provided] in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God displayed publicly [before the eyes of the world] as a [life-giving] [b]sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation (propitiation) by His blood [to be received] through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness [which demands punishment for sin], because in His forbearance [His deliberate restraint] He passed over the sins previously committed [before Jesus’ crucifixion].

For my healing, I don't offer anything I have done or not done, but I offer you the blood of Jesus, Father God!  I offer the blood of Jesus I took when I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior, now and for all time and eternity.  For my mental, psychological, physical, spiritual, financial and social well-being I offer only one thing...the life giving, saving blood of Jesus! 

I cannot offer anything I have done or have not done, anything I have or have not accomplished...it is by His accomplishment on the cross, His death and resurrection and my firm belief in it that accomplished it all and is the only accomplishment You recognize and deem acceptable to the saving of my soul and the healing of my body.  Therefore, oh God, I offer Jesus's blood to you!  For my healing, I bring the blood of Jesus.  For my salvation from every distressing care and hell itself, I bring the blood of Jesus to You.  For my protection, I bring the blood of Jesus to You.  For my vindication in all wrongs, I bring the blood of Jesus to You!  Nothing else can I offer, nor will You accept, but the blood and it screams IT IS FINISHED AND IT IS DONE! 

I am complete because of that blood.   My victory and triumph in every circumstance, at all times is secured and stands fast because of His blood (2 Corinthians 2:14)!   I am redeemed and restored because of the blood...only the blood has the power to heal me, restore me, save me, and it will complete EVERY good work that was begun in me in this life and the life which is to come! 

It is through faith in God's word that we are protected. How do I keep from being afraid?  By putting faith in God's word!  By having faith in the BLOOD OF JESUS!  Exodus 12:23 tells us when Israel put blood on the door facing, the destroyer could not come in.  The animal blood they used then serves as a type and shadow, or a picture, f the Blood of Jesus which ratifies our better protection--under our BETTER Covenant.

When we confess out loud, "I am protected by the Blood of Jesus"---and believe it, the devil literally cannot come in!!! Remember verse 2 in Psalm 91 tells us, 'I will say...the Lord is my Refuge and my Fortress."  It is HEART AND MOUTH--- believing with our heart and confessing with our mouths.  The Blood is applied by SAYING IT in faith.  Confessing with our mouth and believing with our heart starts with the new birth experience and set precedence for receiving all of God's good gifts (Romans 10:9-10). 

If we find ourselves being afraid of the terror by night, that is our barometer to let us know we are not dwelling and abiding up close to the Lord in the shelter of the Most High and believing His promises.  Fear comes when we are confessing things other than what God has said.  When our eyes are not on God, fear will come.  But let that fear be a reminder to repent.

WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT.  2 CORINTHIANS 5:7

We have to choose to believe His Word more than we believe what we see--more than we believe the terror attack.  Not that we deny the existence of the attack.  The attack may be very real, but God wants our faith in His Word to become more of a reality to us than what we see in the natural.  Example...gravity.  Satan's attacks can also be superseded by a higher law---the law of faith and obedience to God's Word.  Faith does not deny the existence of terror. There are simply higher laws in the Bible for overcoming it.

David saw the giant and didn't deny it.  His eyes saw the giant, but his faith saw the promises (1 Samuel 17).
