SENT AS A HEALER
(Lay Hands On The Sick And They Shall Recover)
TO THE BIBLE
Mark 16:17-18
“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
LET’S TALK
“Is it possible for me to actually heal anyone I meet who’s struck by an ailment?” you may ask? Yes, it is! Our theme scripture today clearly gives credence to this fact. Perhaps you tried in the past to put this scripture to work but didn’t see the result you expected, and now you’re puzzled. Understand that the problem isn’t with the scripture, for God’s Word is ever efficacious.
Jesus said you’d lay hands on the sick and they’d recover. Your part is to lay your hands on them; you’re not to make them recover. If the sick fellow didn’t recover, it’s because he didn’t choose to be well. You already did your part by laying hands on him.
Take salvation, for example. Jesus Christ already died for the sins of every human person and made salvation available to all. But why isn’t everyone saved today? Because not every person has made the personal decision to accept Christ. The moment any person hears the Gospel and believes, eternal life is theirs. So, the sick guy who doesn’t recover after you laid hands on him is simply not playing his own role. He needs to also accept what’s being given.
Every man is an independent spirit, a free moral agent who possesses the will to make personal choices. Just as you can’t force him to receive salvation, you can’t force him to receive healing either. He has to make the decision for himself.
GO DEEPER
Matthew 16:19
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 10:7
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
SPEAK
I’m authorised by Jesus Christ to heal the sick and perform wonders in His Name, to the glory of God the Father. As I preach the Gospel and lay hands on the sick, faith is stirred up in their hearts and they receive divine healing. I declare that God’s Word is producing results in my life and ministry, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
