Yeshua (Jesus) is the Resurrection and the Life, and by His stripes we are healed. Everything we need for our life and health already exists, and our prayers should express this reality. Do not pray as if your healing does not exist. Immerse yourself in the resurrection, life, and healing that already exist in Christ. They are yours now.

Is healing something we ask for because we do not have it? No. By His stripes we are healed. Our healing already exists. Is resurrection something that will only exist in the future? No. Christ is the resurrection and the life. His resurrection is our reality right now. So prayer is not a matter of asking for a healing that does not exist, but rather immersing ourselves in the resurrection life of Christ and the healing that His sacrifice accomplished.

That is the principle of baptism. When we are immersed in the water, we are buried with Him in baptism. When we are raised out of the water, we are raised up in the likeness of His resurrection. The cross of Christ never goes away. It is a completed work that exists for us now and we can put ourselves on that cross with Him. We can put everything of our sins, our failings, our sicknesses, and our problems into His death and suffering. We can put ourselves into the grave with Him. And we can put ourselves into His resurrection.

This is what our prayers should be doing. We are not asking for something as though it does not exist. We are immersing ourselves in the reality of His death, burial, and resurrection, which always exists in time and which we can experience at any moment. Your prayer holds yourself, and anyone you pray for, in the place where God’s love and power resurrected His Son. When you pray for someone, see yourself taking that person into the existing reality where we have all died with Christ to the flesh and now live with Him in resurrection life.

Quotes:

• “When we do what we call prayer, I think too often we are asking for something to happen instead of recognizing that it exists already.”
• “Resurrection exists right now where we’re sitting today. And so we’re not asking for healing; we’re not asking for resurrection; we’re immersing into it because we know that it does exist.”
