Dec 09 – POWER OF GOD !

“And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.” (Luke 5:17)

The Lord has promised His healing power in our midst. Among all the types of healing, health of your soul, is the most important. If your soul prospers, then you will indeed be in good health, and prosper in all things.

King David said, “Lord, be merciful to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You” (Psalm 41:4). Yes, the relationship between you and the Lord is renewed, only when you repent of your sins. And only then will you experience joy in your soul and get divine healing.

The Lord declares: “I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely, For My anger has turned away from him” (Hosea 14:4). Look the dramatic change from backsliding to healing in this verse. When those who have backslidden because of the lust of their eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life, repent and turn towards the Lord, the Lord will heal them from their backsliding.

Who else is granted such healing by the Lord? He heals the broken hearted (Luke 4:18). Trials and tribulations, failures and betrayals break our heart. They crush our heart and our spirit. When you are betrayed by those you trust, you are completely heart stricken. During such times, only the Lord can touch and heal you. He heals the broken-hearted, sets the captives free and grants them comfort and peace.

There are numerous promises in the word of God concerning health and healing. He brings health to your soul. He heals you from backsliding. He heals the broken-hearted and comforts them. He also heals those who are abandoned, and those who are marginalised in the society. What a wonderful and compassionate God we have! The Lord says: “ Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth” (Jeremiah 33:6).

During the days of Lord’s ministry in this world, there was not even one person who went away without getting His divine healing from Him. Dear children of God, our God who is unchanging, yesterday, today and forever, will also grant you deliverance and divine health, today.

Verse for further meditation: “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.” (Mathew 4:23)
