Is there a doctor in the house? (Part 4)

Jesus heals completely and on many levels.

In Isaiah 53:5 (Amplified version) we encounter not just any physician, but we encounter The Great Physician! He is so great, that He thought of it all! Not only does He offer physical healing, but He also offers spiritual healing and emotional healing - which is healing for your soul (mind, will, and emotions). Just take a look at what this power packed scripture is really prescribing to us.

"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole."


  • "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities"
- this is healing for our spirit, for the sins we have committed that separate us from God. God made a way for us to be redeemed back to Himself. God made a way to Himself just FOR YOU.

  • "the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him"
- this is healing for our souls (mind, will, and emotions). God knew in this life, we'd have emotional hurts and baggage. He wants to heal us of this also. YOUR ISSUES are HIS ISSUES. Let Him carry them FOR YOU.

  • "and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole"
 - this is physical healing for our bodies. No matter what the sickness or disease, there is healing for this. God made sure of it FOR YOU.


Think on this verse. Ponder it. Go over it in your mind. Let it become a part of you. This is where true healing begins!

    He was wounded for my transgressions: realizing that all of us when we were born our first birth was a flesh birth, this is the natural man. In 1Cor.2:14 the bible says that the natural man ( the unregenerated man ) is not equipped to recieve or understand the things of God because they are spiritually discerned, they are foolishness to him. The bible also tells us that we were born in sin, we were shaped in iniquity, we were conceived in sin separated from the life of Christ. Sin wasn't what we did, sin was who we were! Our first birth was of corruptible seed, Adams seed, the second birth is ofThe incorruptible seed of Christ by the word of God! 1Pet 1:23
    He was wounded for my transgressions, for my sin nature, so that by being born again of the spirit I can walk in newness of life. Because of Christ's obedience to the cross, Him being that perfect sin sacrifice, it was there that I was redeemed, ( purchased ) with His blood. The deposit was made into our account, by making a withdraw on that account in accepting Him ( being born again ) I now can walk in newness of life, because of of His death, I now can walk in the abundance that He has for me, never looking back at my old sinful life or entertain the effects or past wounds that were inflicted on me as a child because He was wounded for my guilt!
