Misunderstanding and mistranslation
Isaiah 53 is a widely misunderstood and mistranslated passage. Often, the concept of the “suffering servant” has been used to support the idea of penal substitutionary atonement, suggesting that God punished Jesus. However, that was not the case; it was people who inflicted that suffering. Jesus frequently referenced the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Old Testament, which presents these scriptures differently. For example, in Isaiah 53:10, the traditional Hebrew text states it was the Lord’s will to “crush him with pain” by making his life a reparation offering. But in the Septuagint, it reads that it was the Lord’s will to “purify him” or “heal him of pain”—the pain we placed upon him. Therefore, Jesus did not die for our sins but rather because of our sins. The wages of sin led to death, and Jesus took on death to overcome it and bring life.
In the New Testament, Peter affirms that Jesus carried our sicknesses and went to the cross not only for our lost identity but also to deal with sickness. He addressed the consequences of sin that resulted in death, as “the wages of sin is death,” not punishment. This is relevant to the passage in Isaiah, which states that “by his scourging we are healed.” The scourging, or whipping, was not inflicted by God, but by people. This suffering enables us to be fully restored and healed. Reading Isaiah 52 alongside chapter 53 highlights the travesty of justice that Jesus endured, a profound injustice as an innocent person was punished by human hands, not by God. This passage, misinterpreted through the lens of penal substitution, truly reveals that God was not inflicting punishment on the suffering servant; rather, Jesus’ suffering was an act of injustice inflicted by others.
Continual communion with God
Years ago, I explored the Bible to understand its teachings on healing and health. I discovered that God is my healer, and Jesus’ actions on the cross made healing possible, allowing me to experience health and wholeness. Over time, I have come to see that I can be healed, live in health, and even transcend death itself. Jesus’ work on the cross means I am not just spiritually saved to reach heaven but can also live free from physical death. This realisation shapes my daily practice: I take communion, symbolically taking on the life of God, and receiving it as a cleansing and transformation. By living in communion, I partake in this life continually. Rivers of living water flow within me, providing health and wholeness from the Tree of Life.
I draw from this life force, a quantum field that God has created to sustain the entire universe, which in turn sustains me. I could see this as rivers of living water, light energy or spirit, reflecting my existence within an environment meant to be self-healing, self-restoring, and self-repairing. This aligns with God’s original design for the body, which should be able to restore and repair itself. However, because of death’s presence in the body, ageing results, disrupting its natural function. Ideally, the body would communicate within itself, signalling the immune system to identify areas needing repair, restoration, or replacement. This process operates within the mitochondria of the cells, yet that communication apparently slows down or fails to work as we get older. So, we need to make sure that our cells are communicating. I can communicate that to my body, and I can communicate with the cells of my body and remind my body of its immortal state. I can speak to my body in that way, live in that communion and fellowship of life and immortality, and live in that atmosphere. That will be my thoughts, my intentions aligned to God’s thoughts and intentions.
Transition
There are also things you can do to help with that. There is a liquid you can drink called ASEA, which actually restores the cell’s ability to repair themselves. You can also get a gel called Renew, which I have seen miraculously restore burns and do things very quickly, because it is designed to cause the body to self-repair and self-heal efficiently and effectively. Now, that is a transitionary thing until we can begin to think and function in health and immortality in our own thinking and begin to live in that environment where health, wholeness, life, and immortality are the norm.
Breathing in life
So, you know, I have had various stages along the way of realising that God desires me to live in health, that God desires me to be immortal, and to have that function. Therefore, I take on that life, so now every time I breathe, communion for me has gone from something I did to something that I now am. So I am in communion with life; I am partaking in life. When I breathe in, I am breathing in life, just as God breathed into Adam, and he became a living being. I am breathing in the life of God. I am living in rarefied air, if you like; I am breathing in life, breathing in energy, breathing in wholeness. That is the fellowship I live in—that is, in a sense, where I live in communion with life, and I have no communion or agreement with death, sickness, or disease. I know it takes time for this to become something we live in and not try to attain. This is my reality; this is the reality I live in.
Accidents
Now, of course, at times I have to focus that intention in my body, like when you mentioned accidents. I have had accidents. In fact, I had an accident this week in which I slipped on a slippery paving stone, went up in the air, came down, and my whole side landed on the edge of a railway sleeper and really hurt. Therefore, I am having to focus on basically apologising to my body for that accident. Although I could not say it was my fault, and I was not in any way careless, it was just slippery, and I did not realise. But I still engaged my body. Now, I am communicating with my body for the removal of the pain.
Now, pain, in a sense, is something that says something is wrong. So, at the moment, my ribs and all the way down my back are—well, my ribs are very, very sore, but I am working with my body for its restoration. But I have to be sensible. There are some things that I think, okay, I am going to push through this, and I am just going to ignore it, and I am going to get on with it. Then, there are times where I think, no, I need to rest now, I need to give my body time to repair and to restore itself and to repair the damage done to my ribs, intercostal muscles, and all around that area. So, I focus my intention on that area, and I begin to choose the reality that my body will come into a restored, repaired, healthy state. Sometimes it takes time; you can have a miracle in which all of the pain goes and all of the problem goes, or you can work with your body in your thinking and in your positive mental attitude in choosing restoration and choosing health and wholeness, and choosing the reality that you will come into a whole state.
Jesus healed in different ways
Jesus healed people in different ways. One of the words used for healing was “therapeuo,” which is where we get “therapy” from, and that indicates a process. So, sometimes there is a process, sometimes it is instant. Obviously, we would all prefer it to be instant, but sometimes we have to work through the process, coming to agreement. Yes, I have done court cases and things with my body years ago, apologised, and did all that, so that my body would have no offence against me, and therefore, my body would be working in cooperation with me because I am one—body, soul, and spirit. I am one, you know.
Abundant life
But it is a process and a matter of thinking and realising that what he did on the cross was to bring me into the wholeness of life. What happened on the cross was an injustice because he did not deserve to go to the cross, and God did not do any of that to him on the cross; man did. But he was representing man and taking man’s desire for punishment, and thereby brought about the resurrection and overcame death. Therefore, to overcome death, you have to overcome sickness, and he overcame sickness so that we could live in the abundance of life.
So, I would encourage you to continue with communion. See communion as a state of being, so that with every breath you take, you are receiving life, energy, health, and wholeness. Just see that begin to bring about the changes in your physical body to align with the truth of Him actually taking on all the associations of death and giving us abundant life.
