Power to Heal

Scripture:

“Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Observation:

Crowds were coming at this point, not only from Jerusalem, but people were hearing about what God was doing in the entire surrounding region.  They brought sick people to the followers of Christ and those who were demonized and they were all healed.  Wherever Christ was proclaimed in the New Testament, healings and deliverances followed.  As a matter of fact Jesus said these signs would follow those who believe.

Application:

It should be normal for the sick to be healed in our midst.  God has not decreased the amount of the Holy Spirit that He gives to His people.  I long for the day when they begin bringing the sick to the house of the Lord to be healed because God is moving strongly in that way.  I would love to see hospitals sending their Coronavirus patients to churches to be healed.  I know this is possible and I long to see it in my day.

Prayer:

May God arise and bring glory to His name in the midst of His people.  Father, let the same power that flowed in the Bool of Acts flow once again.  Demonstrate Your power and let the world see your glory.  I want to see Your name praised and the world worshiping Your name.  Teach me to walk in faith and live as the apostles of the New Testament lived.

Your Son,
Jeff
