 We treat our bikes just like a family member. We even give them nicknames. They give us enjoyment to travel the back roads and see the scenic routes. It can give you that feeling of being free like having a convertible car, riding a skateboard, or roller skates and feeling the breeze flowing all around us. They bring family or friends together just like a family reunion which these reunions are called motorcycle rallies.
Then all the sudden our bikes start running rough and ragged, brakes aren’t stopping, tires starting to look bald, drive train or a timing belt are beginning to flop or even can be just slipping; or the transmission isn’t wanting to go into gear. Some even get emotional and have tears called oil fluid, transmission fluid, or brake fluid leak. Their bed ends up being in the garage for a while. What effects do we feel when our bikes start having these problems? We suddenly begin to feel the effects of that bike being sick just like one of our family members being sick or just simply being sick ourselves from our own head colds. So, what are the symptoms we may experience? We start missing out on the rides, being together with the family member that is down, or in this case our motorcycle group, and others miss out being around us as well. What do we do when our bikes breakdown? Most of us call on our mechanic and get some work done on it. What does this mechanic do? They go in and diagnosis the problem and fix it. Then our bikes are back on the road again. We’ll we have good news for our health issues. His name is Jesus. Yes, Jesus is our mechanic. 1 Peter 2:24 “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” Now, we want to take it a little deeper with Matthew 9:35 “And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” This will be broken down to get a clearer understanding. Jesus will represent the mechanic in this story after all we are looking for our own natural healing. “And Jesus went” Just as the mechanic went to work on the bike, Jesus comes to us and works on us. All we have to do call on his name and he will be there. Romans 10:13 “For whosever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” We know this is a salvation message. I am not taking that away, but think about it. When we call on him to heal us; he has saved us from our sickness or other emotional problems so forth and so on. “about all the cities and villages” When the mechanic starts attending to the mechanical issues they begin to look over the bike and all the parts that could be involved. Spiritually we can take the bike and call it a city. Jesus has done everything to heal our body or our city. The bike is made of many parts to make a complete motorcycle. There are many body parts to make our body complete, too. All these parts on a bike like the brakes, transmission, engine, and the other parts are the villages. Our body’s have villages called the heart, kidney, muscles, nerves, and anything that makes our bodies complete. “teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom” Now, when that mechanic starts attending to the bike; they naturally start working on it. Naturally they use their tools to take off the bad part or parts and put back on the new part or parts. Spiritually for us our new part or parts is the different scriptures we can stand on the help bring in our healing. Jesus did this for us in at least two ways, but in many other ways as we learn the word of God. We mentioned the first one 1 Peter 2:24 that he provided that healing for us. The second way is we speak the word of God to remove sickness and restore our body with the word of God as well. We can see this through Matthew 18:18 “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Let’s try to explain this from a natural point of view. The mechanic working on the bike binds up the bad part or parts and simply removes them, and then the mechanic loosens or replaces the old part or parts with the new ones, so this is just like healing that motorcycle by replacing those old parts. We have to use the same principle with our sickness and turn it into a healing. We’re to take and bind sickness with the word of God and turn around and loosen the power of healing from God’s word or should say activate those scriptures that pertain to healing so we can be restored ourselves. This same principle can be applied in other areas of your life. Remember there are many scriptures we can refer too to obtain what we need; all we have to do is get into the word and find them. “and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” The final results are when the mechanic fixes the bike it’s restored back and gets out of the garage or off the motorcycle lift and becomes usable again. This is just like us with the hospital bed. We are now getting out of that bed and the hospital. This implies we are back to normal and joining our family and friends again. Spiritually for us our results are seeing the fulfillment of 1 Peter 2:24 coming alive in our body. This also brings enjoyment back into our lives. If you don’t know Jesus and want to begin the fulfillment of healing inside of you take time out, go read the salvation message.
