Isaiah 53:5 says “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

Kenneth E. Hagin’s book “Redeemed From Poverty, Sickness, and Spiritual Death”, tells the story of John Alexander Dowie and how he received revelation on the subject of divine healing that revolutionized his ministry. John Alexander Dowie was a man of God who shook the world at the turn of the 19th century by the unusual anointing upon his life. Untold millions came to a revelation of Christ through his ministry. It was said that by the time he was only six years old, he had read the Bible from cover to cover and at twenty-one years of age, he answered the call to ministry.
In 1875, Dowie began pastoring a large congregation in a suburb of Sydney called Newton. While in Newton, a disastrous bubonic plague began to ravage the area and filled the inhabitants with terror. Within weeks of his arrival, Dowie presided over forty funerals in his congregation alone. After visiting the many sick members of his flock one day, Dowie returned home and sat in his study, his arms folded upon his desk, his head upon his arms, he wept before God.
‘God, is everybody going to die?’ he cried. As he studied the Bible, seeking for a way out, suddenly the words found in Acts 10:38 stood out before him as a light; “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”. At that moment he saw Christ as the Healer. Opportunity for the manifestation of this revelation came almost immediately as two messengers came bidding him to pray for a girl who was dying. Dowie rushed to her house and when he arrived he found her lying there, grinding her teeth and groaning in agony. The medical doctor, having given up on her, was preparing to leave. At that moment something in Dowie snapped and he began to cry out to God. Furious at the devil’s attack upon the young girl, Dowie then prayed the prayer of faith and the girl’s convulsions immediately ceased, and she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up she was totally healed. From there Dowie began to pray for other sick members of his congregation who also got immediately healed. And from that day on, John Alexander Dowie never lost another one of his church members to the plague.
Today, we are in an era where the world is being constantly threatened by epidemic of different plagues.. And more than ever we need the instant healing power of the Blood of Jesus. We can no longer depend on medical science because they are limited in the solution they can offer. At this time we need to fully engage the deliverance power in the blood. Through faith in the Blood of Jesus we can receive instant deliverance from any affliction.
The New Testament era is indeed the era of instant manifestations. The word ‘Immediately’ occurs 55 times in the KJV Bible, all of which are in the New Testament and most of which refer to healing and deliverance: All who came to Jesus during his earthly ministry received instant healing. And because He is the same yesterday, today and forever, anyone who comes to Him today also experiences instant deliverance. (Hebrews 13:8).
Isaiah 53:5 says “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.’
At the cross, Christ paid for our healing and deliverance by His blood. But just like Alexander Dowie we need a personal revelation to be able to appropriate the benefits in the Blood of Jesus. Through a deep understanding of the price Christ paid at Calvary we can activate the instant healing power in the Blood. While the world may be gripped by the fear of plagues we stand assured that our case is different. By the violence of faith we will make an open show of the devil in this end-time as we display immunity to diseases.
As we study The Word we shall receive spiritual illumination that will empower us to dominate all activities of darkness. Whatever you may be confronted with today, in your health, family or finances, be assured that victory belongs to you through The Blood! Indeed through the power in Blood of Jesus we are more than conquerors over every affliction of the enemy.
PRAYER: Lord, Please grant me the grace to fill my heart constantly with Your Word. Indeed by the revelation of the Blood of Jesus, I receive instant healing and deliverance from every form of affliction in Jesus Name.
