There were several ways that caused the blood to flow from Jesus. One of those was the whipping that He suffered. This caused the stripes. Each of these different types of bloodletting provided for a different effect of sin.
Stripes
Pro 20:30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
1Pe 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.
The stripes provided physical healing. The way it is worded is also significant. Not only are we healed, but we've already been healed! By appropriating the healing that has already been done, we can call Satan a liar and accept our healing as already manifested.
I know there have been times that I've appropriated healing, that the Enemy then proceeded to try to convince me that I wasn't really healed. However, by standing on the Word and using the weapons of our warfare, I was able to experience complete healing as all symptoms left never to return.
