Scripture:
“News about him spread as far as Syria, and people soon began bringing to him all who were sick. And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all.” Matthew 4:24 NLT
Observation:
This verse is describing the beginning of Jesus ministry. People brought all who were sick, no matter what the sickness or disease, and Jesus healed them all. It didn’t matter if it was demonic, natural, physical, etc. When He preached the Kingdom of God is near, the Kingdom of God was demonstrated. Healing and the preaching of the Gospel are very much linked together. In fulness of the Kingdom, everyone is healed.
Application:
Jesus taught us to pray, “Thy Kingdom Come and Thy will be done.” When His kingdom comes in this fullness and His will is done completely, healing is part of that. Our job is to pray for God’s Kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven. When we get to heaven, all are healed. When Jesus ministered, all were healed. We must believe God for the full impact of His kingdom here on earth as in heaven.
Prayer:
Father, You are the healer. You have always been a healer. In the fulness of Your kingdom, there is no sickness or disease. I pray this morning, “Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” I know healing is Your desire, help me to walk in the fulness of Your kingdom here on earth. Increase my faith and let healings be commonplace as it was in Your ministry on earth.
Yours,
Jeff
