      That night after we arrived back home in Oklahoma, while I was sitting in the tub, the eye was in bad shape and I needed relief. I was holding on to all the verses I knew and standing on the new found revelation of the scriptures being receipts, but to be quite honest I was mostly just praying for mercy. Any believer suffering wants to be strong in God and stand in powerful faith, but I knew that if the eye got any worse, or if I just could not take it anymore, I was going to have to do something. I needed mercy. I just prayed, �Lord I need relief� and �Lord, you have got to do something.� After getting out of the tub I went to one of our spare rooms and began reading through the list of healing scriptures that I would recite quite often. I came to a verse that I had been reading for four years. I started to read it, and a light bulb went off, and I understood and saw it like never before. The verse was I Peter 2:24. This is one of the basic scriptures on healing and one that I had been quoting forever it seemed. The verse reads, �He Himself bore our sins in his body on a tree, that we may die to sin and live unto righteousness, and by his stripes we were healed.� I always concentrated on the last part of the verse and would say quite often, �by his stripes I am healed.� This time, however, was different. I never read very carefully the first part of the verse. When I read �He Himself bore our sins in his body,� I stopped and said very slowly, �Lord, if you bore my sin in your body, then you also bore the result of my sin, which is sickness, disease, and other things.�

            I was free at that very instant. I realized that sickness and disease were a result of the fall of man or sin. When sin entered the world, sickness and disease entered the world. I had been saved a long time and knew that when Adam and Eve sinned it brought the fall of man, and sickness, disease, death, hate, poverty, and all the other bad things. What I had not seen was that when Jesus took our sin away that He also took away our sickness, our disease, our poverty, our depression, and all of the bad results. If sin is what brings death to the world, then the removal of sin brings life to the world. This is what Jesus was talking about when He said that He came to give us life and life abundantly. This was an awesome revelation to me. I realized that for disease to prosper it had to be attached to sin. Remove the sin and remove the disease. Romans 6:23 says that the wages of sin is death. Death is a result of sin. Where there is sin, there will be a dying of things. If believers have no sin then they have no wages and, therefore, anything pertaining to death is no more. Death can be multiple things, and I knew that cancer was a death of the cells in my body. Jesus removed our sin when He died on the cross.
