Greetings in the
Name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth!
Jesus our
Healer.
In Mark Chapter
9 verses 14 onwards, we are told a boy was sick with an evil spirit and he was
brought to Jesus. “How long was he sick like this?”, Jesus asked. “From
childhood ... but if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us”, replied
the boy's father. “If you can?” said Jesus in retort, “Everything is possible
for him who believes”. Jesus reproached the boy's father. Then the boy’s father
quickly replied’, I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief”.
Then Jesus
delivered the boy from the evil spirit and the crowd was overawed by the
spectacular recovery of the boy from a zombie to a healthy boy again. Amazed,
the disciples asked Jesus, “Why couldn't we drive it out?”. Jesus replied,
“This kind can come out only by prayer”. Isn’t that a wonderful story for us to
know?
That Jesus heals
and there are other healing miracles recorded elsewhere in the Bible, such as
He healed the blind, the lame and He even brought Lazarus from death to life
again! And He promises salvation to all who believe in Him … all kinds of
sinners, including the “worst” kinds of sinners that humanly speaking are
beyond salvation!
Not possible and
impossible? “With man this is impossible but not with God, all things are
possible with God”, said Jesus, the Son of God, God incarnate, now with God.
And Jesus our Lord, the same yesterday, today and forever more!
And He will heal
and save in circumstances beyond the comprehension of man ... today, as in the
days gone before, as recorded in the Bible. So in God we trust and in His ways
we shall walk in faith that will be the rock and walk of our faith. With daily
prayer and supplication to Him. Amen.
A testimony of
faith.
My wife, Jenny was recently down with an
unexplainable illness. She has had severe headache, dizziness, migraine and eye
vision problem for the past few weeks. These symptoms appear more serious than
what she has had in the past couple of years. Like anyone of us, it is
normal for us to seek medical opinion from qualified doctors, so to the
hospital we went. The doctor at the hospital ran series of tests: blood test,
urine test, eye test and walking test. Nothing seriously the matter from these
tests, it seems. Next, she will undergo her ear test in the hospital again in 2
weeks' time. And so we will do as advised. Meantime, we seek the Lord daily for
healing mercies for my wife, Jenny.
We pray daily for her healing and we
will value your prayers for her, too.
Jenny has had thyroid problem some years
before, but Jesus healed her when she became a Christian. We believe strongly
Jesus will heal her of her present medical problems through the prayers and
supplications of all who pray for her healing. All praise to our God, the
Healer and in Jesus name we pray.
With love and thanks, for your
wonderful partnership in Christ Jesus!
Blessings,
