Jesus wants to bring healing and restoration into people lives today!

2/10/2020

Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. Matthew 15:29-30 NKJV

People are lame, blind, mute and maimed physically and spiritually today. People suffer the same illnesses, injuries, handicaps and maladies people suffered when Jesus walked the earth.

People were plagued by demonic activity in biblical times. There are just as many people plagued by demonic activity today. Not in the same ways perhaps. The physical manifestations are different.

Today people are ensnared by addictions to drugs, alcohol and immorality. Others are plagued by the same demonic activities that plagued people in biblical times.

I have interviewed young men whose fathers, brothers, and even mothers are serving time in prison. Some of them are multi generation gang members. Families are locked into cycles of sin, shame and violence.

The devil does not cause people to do these things. We have the freedom to make our own choices. People are led into bondage as a result of the spiritual battle taking place in the Heavenly realm.

Great multitudes brought family, friends and loved ones to Jesus’ feet so He could heal them. Jesus healed them because He loved them.

Jesus wants you to bring people before Him so He can heal them today! Bring your friends, family members and loved ones before Jesus in prayer. Go forth as a might man or woman of God. Do it in the power and might of Almighty God!

You do not need to be a Pastor Priest or Theologian to share the gospel with people. Tell them what Jesus has done for you. Keep it real. The gospel does not need to be delivered at the top of your lungs. You do not need to exaggerate. Speak the truth in love through faith in Jesus!

Ask Jesus to reveal Himself to people who need healing and restoration. Pray for the Lord to reveal Himself as the Great Physician. Bring people to the feet of Jesus. Ask the Lord to protect them from the forces of darkness seeking to devour them.

Ask Jesus to pull down strongholds that plague families. Ask Jesus to crush false arguments and vain imaginations in opposition to Him. Pray for people not to believe lies taught and perpetrated by people under the influence of demonic forces.

Pray for the people God loves today and every day!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Jesus wants to bring healing and restoration into people lives today!
