4 Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy].
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.
Over two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus Christ took all the sicknesses and diseases of the world on Himself. He bore the death sentence of cancer, aids, along with every other disease, infirmity and terminal illness that existed in His day on the earth and those that would develop over the course of eternity.
Colossians 2:13-14 (MSG)
13 When you were stuck in your old sin-dead life, you were incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive—right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven,
14 the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant canceled and nailed to Christ's Cross.
Sickness and disease is a penalty of sin and that is why God through our Lord Jesus Christ moved all penalties of sin and sicknesses from us. We can boldly say that sickness and disease has NO PLACE in our lives.
We have been redeemed from sickness and disease, but we must fill our thoughts, imaginations and expectations with what God has done. By saturating our thoughts with the Word of God through, we will receive our healing and not allow sickness and disease to stay in our bodies.
When we pray the prayer of faith, we receive our healing right at that moment.
What we see, speak and imagine from that point on, needs to be what the Bible says about health. The Word of God is alive and full of His Power, so as we meditate (ponder, mutter, imagine, visualize) we are filling our bodies and minds with the Power of God, that produces health. We stop focusing on the sickness and start focusing on the Power of God that is alive and working with us, bringing forth the cure. Continually meditating the Word of God for health will keep feeding our faith, energizing our words and empowering our vision to bring our healing to pass in our life!
Never forget that God is not holding our healing from us. It's already been done and it's up to us to TAKE IT!

Romans 8:2 (AMP)
2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death.
Meditation:
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death (of sickness) The law of life is flowing from my head to my toe, nurturing, strengthing, correcting, refreshing, renewing and repairing, my body. The law of life is governing my body, delivering my from sickness, symptons and premature death, in Jesus Name.
