The Holy Spirit this morning reminded me in our communion time that today is a new day and we need to rejoice and be glad in it because there are things He the Holy Spirit has in store for us that will energize us and propel us into the wonderful good works He has prepared for us to carry out today to glorify Jesus on the earth. Ephesians.2:10
I am therefore excited and thrilled at the prospect of what miracles the Holy Spirit wants to perform on those afflicted by satan to give them a new story of deliverance that will startle men as they observe the mighty power of the Lord in action. As Peter mentioned when introducing Jesus to the house of Cornelius in Acts.10:36-38: How Jesus went about doing good healing all who were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him.
Hebrews.13:8 says these words life giving words: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This means that when you introduce Jesus to people you should be able to say the same words Peter said because Jesus has not stopped healing all those oppressed of the devil. This is because His hand has not been shortened and paralyzed to such a degree that He cannot now heal people from oppressions of the devil.
The reality is that Jesus is still the same and does wonders today just as He did in the time of Peter. We need to remember these facts, believe them and know them. Then choose to represent Jesus correctly through the Holy Spirit by manifesting the same power He demonstrated in the healing of lives.
In the Anglican church I started out my Christian walk.They did not represent Jesus correctly because they said Jesus had handed over the healing ministry to doctors. I questioned this with the Pastors each week as they preached this and showed them through scriptures that Luke was a doctor.
He recorded all the healings Paul did though he was the doctor and could diagnose sickness in people. He never came to that erroneous conclusion though he was a trained Doctor. He honoured God because he knew the miracles he saw Jesus perform were real.
The good thing is that they never discouraged me from pursuing my faith in the Lord which included healing and deliverance which the Holy Spirit was teaching me each day.
Now the Holy Spirit is a Master at confirming truth in the place where people question the ability of Jesus. I got to meet in that very church a Man’s daughter whose eyes were miraculously healed by Smith Wigglesworth in his home which further confirmed to me the reality of what the Holy Spirit was teaching me to believe for.
When I met the lady, his daughter who had perfect eyesight at the present time, she said to me boldly that she could not attend the Anglican church of her parents because she knew she was healed by Jesus and could not sit down and listen to those who question what she had experienced and cut it down.
This reminds me of the blind man healed in John’s gospel chapter.9 who the Chief Priests threw out because he would not agree with them that Jesus was a sinner. After having been healed by Jesus and having received sight for the first time in his life. He was excited about what Jesus had done to free him. No individual could convince him he was not healed. He could now see and no one could deny that reality.
I also left because I was manifesting more of the Holy Spirit which includes healing and could not express it. Their bias did not deter the Holy Spirit because He just went on to manifest through my life the healing power of Jesus in the Nations to release people from the oppression of the devil which Jesus is Master over.
You ask me why do I share these experiences? To make you certain of the reality of the Jesus you serve because He is real, has and will never change what He does which is to heal all oppressed of the devil.
I remember when I was in Chicago one morning I filled the home I was staying with prayer and awaited what the Holy Spirit would do that day. That same morning in a Church in Joliet where I had attended a service there and I observed the former Pastor in a wheelchair and I asked the present pastor if I could pray for Him because I was angry that a servant of God was paralyzed.
When I started praying for the Pastor the new pastor confessed to me and his congregation that he doubted the pastor would be healed. He then took the opportunity to repent and tell his people that Jesus had visited that church that day. Unfortunately they had rejected Him just like the Pharisees did and he openly repented and then invited me to pray for all the sick in the Church that morning.
We went on to have a healing service with various healings all around and it was a beautiful sight to behold as people went from doubt and unbelief to receiving healing which became the new ethos of that Church. Healing and deliverance.
They even gave me an honorable offering though I was not the guest speaker but an attendee at the end and became a friend to that Pastor who sought me for spiritual counsel.
I pray for you today that as you hear these words your trust in Jesus as the Healer will be stirred back into reality. You will surely find the grace in these words to activate you back in your pursuit to represent Jesus again in truth by demonstrating Him as He is: the Healer of all oppressed of the devil.
May your hearts be stirred up again to take hold of your inheritance in Jesus and become a true representation of Jesus through signs, wonders and miracles which He ordained for you to walk in to glorify His name.
Then watch and see what will happen in your life as you receive and accept the words of Jesus to you. As you run after Him by surrendering to His program rather than man’s religion that limits and binds you to bondage. Observe as you become the vessel of honour through whom the Holy Spirit can show the majesty of Jesus in the lives of others. Amen.
