“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.” Matthew 10:8 (ESV). Wow! Nothing we need to do but should receive this command from Jesus and should believe we have it. Jesus was very specific to mention- freely you have received so freely give. So just receive and give.
Jesus’ cleanliness and health flowed out of Him: “When he came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him. And behold, a leper came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I will; be clean.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.” Matthew 8:1-3(ESV) And in another occasion “ “Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.”” Luke 8:43-48(ESV)
These are examples of many other incidents in the Bible where we see Healing Power went out of Jesus to heal whether He knew or not. In the sense His body was flowing with healing power and even His clothes were saturated with His Power. And He gave this Power freely to His believers whoever it is, i.e. even us who believe. So our job is to believe and act upon.
God’s healing & delivering power went through Paul’s sweat & Peter’s shadow : “And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.” Acts 19:11-12(ESV) “And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them. The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.” Acts 5:14-16(ESV)
During this time of sickness terror struck all over the world, we Christians should be very sure we have nothing at all to fear but believe the Truth about the Power of God working through us and learn to behave like ones. It all depends on what you believe. You want to believe and shiver like worldly people or believe and be strong in the Lord! This repentance should go on in our minds to become stronger in our Faith. John 7:37-38(ESV)
Freely received, freely give: This is the Christian Life mentioned in the Bible. Jesus did, His disciples did and many believers even now are doing to bring Glory to Jesus, who is The Healer and God is glorified too who had been kind enough to empower us to be like Him, Holy and Powerful. Glory to God alone! I am encouraging myself to do and am encouraging all of you who are reading this to practice what you believe and get the blessed result. May be in your first attempt things won’t work but if you continue doing by not giving up, you will surely succeed; that is guaranteed!
How did great men and women of God do miracles and healings? If you read or hear their stories you can find out that they too tried their best to align their thoughts according to the Truth mentioned in the Bible what and all they can do and did them meticulously and won. That is all. I wish every person who calls himself/herself Christian should try their best what they profess to be and succeed. Otherwise there is no point in calling ourselves Christians if we cannot perform like ones.
Get the help of the Holy Spirit guidance and let us excel in His Power working through us bringing Glory to God and souls to the Kingdom of God!
