Our healing has already been provided for us. Just as our salvation was already provided for us. "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (5) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:4-5
Like salvation your healing has already been provided. Confess your healing as you confessed Jesus as Lord and Savior!
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:" Colossians 2:6
You should walk in divine health, because Jesus was never sick, 1 Peter 2:21!
In Jesus,
