11. There were no exceptions then, their remedy was for everyone that is
bitten. There are no exceptions today, our remedy is for whoever believes.
12. Everyone was commanded to individually look at the remedy then.
Everyone is commanded to individually believe on Christ today.
13. They did not need to beg nor make an offering to God then. There was
only one condition: When they look. We do not need to beg nor make an
offering to Christ today. There is only one condition: Whoever believes.
14. They were not told to look to Moses, but rather to the remedy then.
We are not told to look to the preacher, but to Christ today.
15. They were not to look to the symptoms of their snakebites then, but
rather to their remedy. We are not to look to the symptoms of our sins
and diseases today, but to our remedy, Christ.
16. Everyone that is bitten, when he or she looks upon it, shall live was
the promise to all then, without exception. Whoever believes in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life is the promise to all today,
without exception.
17. Since their curse was removed by the lifting up of the "type" of Christ,
our curse was certainly removed by Christ Himself.
18. The "type" of Christ could not mean more then to those Israelites,
than Christ means to us today. Surely they, through only a "type" of
Christ, could not receive more blessings which we cannot receive today
through Christ Himself.
19. God promises protection for our bodies as well as for our spirits, if we
live in Him. In the New Testament, John wishes above all things that you
may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers. Both scriptures
show that God's will is that we be as healthy in our bodies as we are in
our spirits. It is never God's will for our spirits to be sick. It is never God's
will for our bodies to be sick.
20. King Asa died in his sickness because he sought not the Lord, but to
the physicians; while Hezekiah lived because he sought not to the
physicians, but to the Lord.
21. The removal of our diseases is included in Christ's redemptive work,
along with the removal of our sins. The word bore implies substitution

‣ Our traditions about healing have hindered us from
demonstrating the power of God.
‣ Unconfessed sins may make people sick but they do not keep
them from being healed. (James 5:13-16)
‣ We are not to judge who is confessed up, in faith and ready to be
healed. We are deliverers, not judges.(Matthew 10:8)
‣ Healing sometimes takes time to manifest, while miracles are
usually instant. So exercise the authority of God‟s word by faith
for healing until you see the results.
IV. THE POWER OF GOD FOR HEALING
• The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is given so that we can minister in
the power of God.
• Believers already have 100% of the Holy Spirit — all that we will
ever have or need. We need to walk in what we have to become
more effective in using what we‟ve got.
• We do not wait for a “special leading” to obey God‟s command. The
Holy Spirit helps us obey. Signs and wonders follow our belief.
(Mark 16:17-18)
• Because Christ is in me, I already have all the power and
anointing that I will need. (1 John 2:27; 4:8)
• God‟s anointing abides within me, is always ready to heal and is
always on. (1 John 2:27; 4:8)
• Christ, in me, is always instantly available to destroy the works of
the devil through me. (1 John 3:8; 4:8)
• We are to command the power of God without picking and
choosing who is worthy.
• We don‟t beg God for their healing; we proclaim freedom for the
captives or prisoners. God‟ Word declares His faithfulness to back
our words spoken in authority.
• God never withholds any good thing from me and will heal me
every time I ask.
