A TABLE IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES

Heart broken and devastated when her eighteen-year-old daughter told her that she hated her and left home, a mother from Texas developed high blood pressure and started hemorrhaging badly.One day, she tuned in to one of my broadcasts and heard me preach about Jesus' finished work at Calvary. She got my series on the Holy Communion and took it every day as she looked to the Lord's finished work to heal her body and restore her relationship with her daughter.
                   Six months later, this same mother wrote to tell me that she was healed of high blood pressure and no longer bleeding. God was also restoring her relationship with her daughter who had returned home. Today, she is taking Communion daily with her husband and children and experiencing the blessed family life she had once only dreamed of. 
                    Beloved, no matter how bad things may be now, rest in Jesus' finished work by coming to the Lord's table, and receive your victory, restoration and wholeness! 
"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. 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. Isaiah 53:4-5, AMP
For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing, in that though He was[so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched abundantly supplied.—2 Corinthians 8:9, AMP  
CRUSHED FOR OUR TOTAL WELL-BEING 
How is holy anointing oil produced? By crushing olives in an oil press to extract the oil. This is a beautiful picture of the crushing of our Lord Jesus, which began in the Garden of Gethsemane. "Gethsemane" literally means "oil press."The Bible tells us that He was pierced for our transgressions.
                  He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.Jesus came to be crushed for us. He came to be bruised, scourged and pierced. Why? So that all that He is—health, life, wholeness, abundance, fruitfulness, grace, goodness can flow out like golden oil into our lives!My friend, whenever you use the holy anointing oil for healing, provision or protection, remember that Jesus has already been crushed for your total well-being. 
See the work as completely finished and enter into rest. That's how you receive your victory! 
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. James 5:14-15
It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. —Isaiah 10:27
He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree as on an altar and offered Himself on it]... By His wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24, AMP...
by His stripes we are healed. —Isaiah 53:5 

HEALTH THROUGH THE OIL, BREAD AND WINE 
A brother from New Zealand shared an amazing healing testimony with me. After undergoing two surgeries, he was diagnosed with grade eight prostate cancer and given a grim report by his specialist.A couple, who were elders from his church, anointed him with oil and prayed over him. He felt God's power go through him. Following this, his wife would anoint him every night with abottle of oil, and they would pray and take the Holy Communion together. 
                   His symptoms started to disappear and he began to feel so much better.At his next checkup, his specialist was amazed. She proclaimed his blood test report "fantastic" because it showed all indicators in the normal range! Beloved, the oil, bread and wine represent Jesus' finished work at the cross. Jesus provided His own body to be punished for the healing of your diseases and afflictions. 
                    Rest in the reality that by His stripes you are healed! 
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:2
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20"...
all things are possible to him who believes." Mark 9:23
