By His Stripes
Holy heavenly father, you have sacrificed so much for us being here
You have given us the gift of life and a huge world to care
You gave us everything on the land which we would need to survive
After molding from the Earth and breathing in the breath of life
Lord, make your promise be revealed
For by his stripes I am healed
More than thirty nine stripes, he suffered the most
Yet he could have simply called on the father above or the Holy Ghost.
But he endured the pain and suffering so his people will be healed of their sins
He suffered the stripes, so our diseases will be no more
The Blood of Jesus represents his spirit
Striped from his mangled and weakened body, from head to feet
His pain his sufferings has healed me and has cast away all evil spirit of sickness
As the spirit of Jesus lives within me so does the power of healing
So by his stripes, I am healed, my soul is strong scented of God’s glory
It is not a weakling.
So teach me Lord, teach me to believe in me. Teach me how to command my healing
Teach me to have the strong power of faith to cast away all illness
Teach me to be hopeful and cast away hopelessness.
I can feel his presence within me, strong and real
For I do believe by his stripes we are healed.

Powerful prayer, bother Clive. Very moving testimony in beautiful poetic form. So glad I found this one on my feed. Good to see your work and connect to it. This offering is perfect for this season of Lent. "And by his stripes, we are healed." Amen.

Clive,
It is amazing that he would endure this pain for the likes of us...but he did.
Thankfully we have him to turn to when moments are bleak
I do believein the power of healing. I was annointed with oil at my church before a gamma knife procedure on my brain.
It isnt a commom thing for my church to do, but it really helped me.
Not immediately...but days before procedure I became calm. Then I wasn't even scared during the treatment which lasted for hours..morning until dark.
So believe...it truly works.

I am not religious but if that’s what empowers you and brings you comfort that is good. I hope you are doing well in this difficult time.

I'm not a terribly religious man, but I admire anyone who has that kind of faith. All I can say is something, or someone, saved me from myself fourteen years ago, and for that I am eternally thankful.
Peace be with you, my friend!
