Healing Promises (14 page)

When Jesus had raised Himself up and
saw no one but the woman, He said to
her, “Woman, where are those accusers
of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said
to her, “Neither do I condemn you;
go and sin no more.”

—J
OHN 8:10–11

‘No One Condemns Me’

She never expected to be caught in the act of adultery, much less be dragged to the Teacher and flung at His feet. Those who did it smugly expected Jesus to condemn her. None of them were prepared to hear Him say, “Let those who have never sinned throw the first stones!” Their consciences pricked, they left, one by one. Alone with Jesus, she heard Him say to her, “Where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”

Jesus knew how important it was for this woman to realize and say, “No one condemns me, Lord.” The only one who
could
condemn her,
did not,
because He was going to the cross to be punished and condemned in her place.

Something happens when you know that God does not condemn you today because of the cross. The woman received the power to “go and sin (which was her problem) no more”.
You
will receive the power to rise from your bed of sickness and be sick no more!

“For this is like the waters of Noah to
Me; for as I have sworn that the waters
of Noah would no longer cover the
earth, so have I sworn that I would not
be angry with you, nor rebuke you. For
the mountains shall depart and the hills
be removed, but My kindness shall not
depart from you, nor shall My covenant
of peace be removed,” says the Lord,
who has mercy on you.

God’s Not Angry—The Rainbow In The Sky

I love rainbows. Who doesn’t? But do you know how the beautiful rainbow came about?

In the Book of Genesis, God placed a beautiful rainbow in the sky to remind Himself and us of His oath never to flood the earth again. Then, in the Book of Isaiah, He declared that just as He had sworn never to flood the earth again,
He has sworn never to be angry with us again.

My friend, God is NOT angry with you today because of the covenant of peace established by the blood of Jesus. Today, see the Lord smiling at you, eager to bless and heal you!

When He died, He died once to break the
power of sin. But now that He lives,
He livesfor the glory of God.

OMANS 6:10, NLT

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world
to Himself, no longer counting people’s
sins against them…

ORINTHIANS 5:19, NLT

No power in the sky above or in the earth
below—indeed, nothing in all creation will
ever be able to separate us from the love of
God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

—R
OMANS 8:39, NLT

Your sins are no longer

an issue with God
.

NOTHING

can separate you from

God’s love.

So what’s there to stop
you from reaching out
and receiving your
healing?

For He made Him who knew no sin to
be sin for us, that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him.

Not Just Forgiven, But Made Righteous Too

My friend, at the cross, Jesus did not just take away your sins, He also gave you His
righteousness!
A divine exchange took place—your sins for
His
righteousness. This means that, today, you are as righteous as Christ Himself—not because of your good works, but because of His finished work!

Place your hand over your heart right now and boldly declare:
