Why are numerous Christians struggling with illness despite the biblical promise of healing, as stated in Isaiah 53, "by his stripes, we are healed"? God has provided for both physical and emotional healing, in addition to salvation. While our confession of faith secures our spiritual salvation, and we believe in our salvation; the enemy has been exerting significant effort to convince us that we must rely solely on human resources, such as doctors, rather than seeking healing directly from God. The enemy wants us sick because if we are beset by illness, we are unable to fulfill our divinely ordained purpose of taking dominion. A deeper understanding of salvation reveals that it encompasses not only spiritual redemption but also deliverance from illness and poverty. Salvation signifies that God breaks every chain, but it is contingent upon our belief in His word. Many individuals believe they are saved, yet they do not place faith in God's numerous promises of healing and financial prosperity, which are integral components of His covenant with us. God takes His covenant extremely seriously. A thorough examination of God's promises regarding healing and prosperity will reveal that these two aspects are guaranteed. Read Deuteronomy 28 for a deeper understanding of the covenant. “The Lord will give you great prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your livestock and the produce of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.”

It is essential to reject the enemy's lies and not acquiesce to poverty or illness. Instead, we must proclaim the truth, which is rooted in God's word. The truth affirmatively declares that by His stripes, we are healed, and that God, who owns the cattle on a thousand hills, has promised to make us rich and provide for our every need, contingent upon our putting Him first and believing his word.
He has promised that if we seek Him first, He will supply all our needs, and that by His stripes, we are healed, and wealth and riches will be in our house. God has a kingdom way of doing things which is contingent upon our relationship with Him and his covenant with us. If we follow Christ, we are guaranteed to have all of our needs met as we follow him. God is very clear on this and He is very clear on healing. The enemy has blinded the minds of unbelievers and believers. Believers can embrace God’s covenant promises by placing their faith in God‘s word and verbally decreeing all of his promises. God‘s word is more true than what you can see or taste or feel.
