Healed from Flu

“…and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

Have you ever thought of the scripture which says, “…with his stripes we are healed.” If you believe it, you are healed!

I will never forget the night I was suffering with the flu. I had a fever, my throat was swollen, my eyes watering – all the symptoms of this demonic thing had taken ahold of me. I could not sleep. At midnight, I heard a still small voice. Sometimes I hear God in my heart, but sometimes I hear Him outside of me. And this time the God outside of me was whispering to me, “With His stripes you are healed.”

I thought, “This is wonderful!” I decided to get up and make a note of it, as I would have something to preach on Sunday. But He said to me, “No! You do not understand! With His stripes you ARE healed!”

It took me from midnight until three o’clock in the morning to conceive what God was saying. Isn’t that a bad record for a preacher? I did not get it into my heart that the Word of God had come to me to lift me by His power from the low land I was suffering in to glorious healing! So, I began to repeat, “With His stripes I am healed. With His stripes I am healed.” For three hours! At three o’clock there was no fever, no sniffles, no headache, no nothing! I was totally delivered.

The Word of God is a powerful force. Jesus said in John 6:63, “…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” And therefore, “With His stripes you ARE healed!”
