I Believe in You

That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.”

—Matthew 8:17

  

Jesus suffered painfully and horribly for me. He took my infirmities and sicknesses, carrying them to the brutality of the cross for my sake. He bore my sin, pain, sorrow, grief, and sickness so that I would not have to bear them. Everything evil and nasty in my life Jesus took to the cross. He carried my sins so that I could be forgiven and my sicknesses so that I could be healed. 

 

If Jesus bore all these burdens on the cross for my sake, I will submit to His grace and allow Him to bear them for me. I never want to diminish His precious grace. I fight the good fight of faith. I oppose the evil that Jesus confronted on my behalf. Sin, sickness, shame, and anguish do not honor Jesus. They all cost Him His life. I want to give Jesus glory and not glorify anything He paid for with His life’s blood. I wish to stand confidently and humbly to receive the blessings for which Jesus gave everything for me. 

 

Lord, I don’t want to embrace anything You died for so I might live. I don’t want to accept the ugliness of sin, sickness, and depression. I refuse to give any evil room in my life. I fight the good fight of faith. I choose to see what my natural eyes can’t see. Each day, I will speak Your healing. I will bring forth the good treasure from the life You have invested in me. 

 

Thank You, Jesus, that my burden is light because of Your undeserved grace. You carried to the cross what I cannot bear. Your love for me is complete. It is finished. You have paid my debt in full.  Those curses have been nailed to the cross, and the curses You carried and crucified are not for me to bear now. You shed Your priceless blood for my sins and all their consequences. You died so that I may have abundant life now. You want me to see myself healed and whole, making a difference for eternity. 

 

I am forgiven and healed because of You, Jesus!  I love You!  Thank You for restoring all that the devil stole! Thank You, Jesus, for carrying my ugliness, unforgiveness, sickness, pain, grief, fears, and all the deadly curses the enemy attempts! Your perfect love overcomes all the enemy’s torment!  Your perfect love sets me free! You, who had no sin, redeemed me with Your righteousness. I empty myself to be so full and overflowing with You that there is no room for sin, sickness, or any other evil in my life. Oh, sweet Jesus, You said “Yes” and gave everything for me! I am overcome with Your passionate love! I will honor You by believing that Your most extraordinary gift was not given to me in vain. I believe, Lord Jesus. I believe in You.
