FAITH FOR HEALING (Part II)

FAITH FOR HEALING (Part II)

I firmly believe that healing is a promised provision in our covenant relationship with God.  In addition to spiritual redemption, a primary component of Jesus’ earthly ministry was physical healing.  Hear the Word of the Lord:

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. (Matthew 4:23)

This supernatural healing capability was extended to His disciples as a powerful witness to the truth of the gospel of the Kingdom:

And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. (Matthew 10:1)

And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. (Mark 16:17-19)

[The apostles] stayed there (in Iconium) a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands. (Acts 14:3)

The prevalence and power of miracles both during and following Jesus’ public ministry, indicates His intention to minister to the whole man: body, mind and spirit. (Luke 4:18)

Therefore, the question is begged: ‘What about modern-day Christians?  Is the age of miracles past, limited to a select few of those who physically walked with Jesus?  If not, what current conditions serve to minimize Heaven’s healing power?  Prayerfully consider this and stay tuned…more to come tomorrow.

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
