Healed Spirit, Soul and Body

Yesterday we learned that Jesus is the Word, and He was sent to heal us and deliver us from destruction. Today let’s take a fresh look at Isaiah 53:5 in the Amplified Bible.

But He was wounded for my transgressions.
He was bruised for my guilt and iniquities.
The chastisement needful to obtain my peace and well-being was upon Him.
And with the stripes that wounded Him I have been healed and made whole.

Jesus, the Word, paid it all for you and me.
He took care of our spirits, our souls, and our bodies.
It is very obvious in this verse that He took care of us totally.

The wounding for our transgressions and the bruising for our guilt and iniquities refers to our spirit being free from sin and its guilt and condemnation.
The chastisement to obtain peace and well-being for us refers to our souls (minds, will, emotions).
The stripes that wounded Him healed our bodies and made us whole.
There you have it: SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY.

If we look at 1 Thessalonians 5:23, we find that our spirit, soul and body is also set apart and sustained by God to stay whole and complete.

The God of peace, Who is our Word, has sanctified us, separated us to Himself from impure things in our spirits (sin), in our souls (stress created by fear, doubt and unbelief, trouble of any kind) and in our bodies (sickness and disease). Isn’t that good news! We not only are healed and made whole in our spirits, souls and bodies, we are separated from the junk that would keep us from wholeness in any area of our lives.
May our spirits, souls and bodies be preserved sound and complete, kept whole and found blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is preserving us. He has His hand upon us to keep us whole.

MY SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY ARE HEALED AND MADE WHOLE BY JESUS THE WORD AND THEN KEPT WHOLE AND FREE FROM SIN, SICKNESS AND STRESS, BY JESUS THE WORD.
