Jesus Was Acquainted With Grief Series

Today, if we hold scripture to be true, then we can hold that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” to be true. We can hold onto the fact that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for us. If that is the case, then even if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can come to Jesus Christ and ask God to heal today.

I want to repeat the points about Jesus healing at the Sheep Gate. He stepped over sick people and they remained sick. The man who was healed was sick for 38 years. Jesus did not heal everyone, and some had been ill for a long time. But those who asked Jesus in faith were healed. Why do I repeat this fact? I do this because when we read the account of Lazarus’ death we also read that “... it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.” The darker our world gets, the brighter the Son of God gets. Every time we pray and people are healed then God gets the glory. The ordinary person in the street can see death and sickness all around, and they will see these pools of light when our prayers are answered.

To conclude, death, diseases, and sickness remain a feature of our fallen, flawed human race, but God can, will, and does intervene. He can raise to life whom He chooses and He can heal whom he chooses. For me personally, I will continue to pray for the healing of others. I want to see sickness and diseases gone from those I know. I want to see God getting the glory, and I want to see pools of light in my area. I pray that you join me in praying for our friends, family, and neighbours, that we see God moving in our area of influence and see Him healing. Will you join me?
