“It is finished!” John 19:30
Through the cross Jesus paid for more than our sins! Psalm 103 is an awesome passage declaring for us today to not forget the benefits of what Jesus has done for us, through the cross. His finished work heals ALL our diseases, forgives us of ALL of sin and rescues us from the pit of hell. His finished work is not just a “get out of hell” card. It is not just about our eternal destination! Jesus’ finished work on the cross was the final stroke, destroying the works of the devil, and proclaiming victory for us. His finished work on the cross is the pathway for us to know abundant life now (John 10:10). Though the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, and he does much of that through deception and lying, his authority has been taken away. It’s time for us to acknowledge his defeat and declare all that Christ did for us!
Jesus would preach the Gospel of the Kingdom, heal the sick and cast out demons everywhere He went. Then He sent out His Disciples to do the same. Now He sends us out with the same mandate, preach the Good News, and release the Kingdom of God through healing and deliverance!
Thank Him for the finished work of the cross, which includes both the forgiveness of all your sins, the healing of all your diseases and setting you free from all demonic entanglements! Thank Him that there is no condemnation, or shame in those who have become His kids. We have been completely washed clean with healing and deliverance being ours. We are no longer under the law of sin and death, but under the law of the Spirit and life (Romans 8:1-2). Proclaim this truth over your life. Declare that you are saved, healed and delivered through Jesus Christ!
Take some time today to mediate upon Psalm 103:1-5 (ESV)
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless His holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all His benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
