- Healing was purchased through the Messiah's sacrifice - His stripes secured our healing.
- Healing is available today through faith - The same Spirit that raised the Messiah from the dead dwells in us as believers.
Practical Wisdom
To effectively stand on these healing scriptures:
- Speak them aloud daily, allowing faith to rise in your heart as you hear God's Word.
- Meditate on them throughout the day, visualizing yourself receiving God's healing power.
- Use them in prayer, reminding God (and yourself) of His promises.
- Stand firm regardless of symptoms, knowing that God's Word is true regardless of circumstances.
Remember, while instantaneous healing happens, many times healing manifests progressively as we stand in faith on God's Word.
Clearing up Misunderstandings
Let's address some common misconceptions about using healing scriptures:
First, using these verses isn't about magical repetition - it's about building your faith in God's healing power and promises. These scriptures work by renewing your mind to God's will concerning healing. We know this to be true because there is no sickness in heaven and as part of the Lord's prayer we pray, "On earth as it is in Heaven."
Second, seeking medical help doesn't negate your faith. The Messiah acknowledged that sick people need physicians. Medicine and faith can work together - God often works through medical professionals.
Third, healing passages aren't just for physical ailments. The Hebrew word for healing (rapha) encompasses emotional, mental, and spiritual restoration as well.
Conclusion
These KJV healing scriptures provide powerful ammunition for your faith arsenal. As you meditate on them, remember that God's Word is living and active, able to bring life and health to your physical body. Stay consistent in your confession of these verses, knowing that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

GENERAL
The phrase "with his stripes we are healed" in Isaiah 53:5 uses the Hebrew word "חָבַר" (chabar) which literally means "to join together." This suggests that our healing was literally "joined together" with the Messiah's suffering, making it an inseparable part of His redemptive work. This gives us a legal right to claim our healing based on what He has already accomplished!
