Day 102
I Peter 2:24
"Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
Should we feel trapped by sin, as though we are powerless against it? What an insult it would be to the sacrifice Jesus made for us, for a child of God to accept defeat by sin. Jesus bore our sins in His body at Calvary, so we could be liberated from the power of darkness. We are also delivered from sickness and disease, because He took all of it upon Himself. Because of the stripes he bore, we are delivered from sin and sickness.
We must declare our victory over all the works of darkness. The songwriter wrote that we are signifying the Lord's death until He comes. When we do this, we should be reminding ourselves of what He took for us, so we can be free.
I declare victory over sin, sickness and disease. Because of what Jesus did for me, I am free.
