There are poisons that can infect our thinking, our self-esteem. If we only had an antidote to deal with the guilt from our past mistakes, the times we failed, didn’t make good decisions, now we go around in regrets, down on ourselves. If we only had the cure for the hurts, the disappointments, the unfair childhood, now we’re tempted to live bitter, insecure, no passion. The good news is: 2,000 years ago the antidote was developed for everything that will come against you. Not by leading scientists, not by a team of researchers, but by the son of the living God.

When Jesus went to the cross, he took on our guilt, our shame, our failures. He not only bore our sins, but he took our sicknesses. Before he was crucified, he was beaten with 39 stripes on his back. Studies tell us, there are 39 major categories of disease, he took one strike for each one. That’s why it says, “By his stripes you were healed”. We are not at the mercy of fear, depression, addictions – we have the cure, the Most High God is breathing in our direction.

Him being for you is more than the world being against you. Don’t let the fear, the guilt, the depression holds you down – take the antidote, “Father, thank you that I am forgiven, I am redeemed, I am free, I am healthy and whole”.
