HEALED BY THE NAME OF JESUS

Isaiah 53:5
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.

1 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.
We love these two scriptures. Read them carefully, Isaiah says ‘we ARE healed.’ 1 Peter tells us ‘ye WERE healed.’

Are is the present indicative plural of the substantive verb to be. Were is the imperfect indicative plural, and imperfect subjunctive singular and plural, of the verb be. Be. To be to exist actually, or in the world of fact; to have existence. To exist in a certain manner or relation, -- whether as a reality or as a product of thought; to exist as thesubject of a certain predicate, that is, as having a certain attribute, or as belonging to a certain sort, or as identical with what is specified, To take place; to happen;. To signify; to represent or symbolize; to answer to.
We found that commonly used words are often spoken without a full understanding of their meaning. Looking at the definition of a word reinforces the true meaning. When we read these scriptures, we are to read them as though they actually exist in reality or in our thoughts.
To stand in belief of God’s Word we are to speak these scriptures as though they be, not as we would have them to be.
Look closely the verses do not imply might be, shall be, can be, will be. No the scriptures say that they are NOW.
He paid the price one time; He does not have to pay it again. He did not ask us if we wanted Him to do this for us. Now we are certain that none of us would ask Him to go back and be beaten again.
Be Blessed by the One True God of all Creation, Our Savior Jesus Christ
