Meditate
On
“The
Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel
to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who
are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Luke
4:18–19
Jesus’ Heart Revealed
When
Jesus was in a synagogue in Nazareth, He spoke of how God sent Elijah to the
widow of Zarephath, and Elisha to Naaman the Syrian. If you read these two
stories in the Old Testament, you will realize that one is a miracle of
provision and abundance (the widow’s last bit of oil was multiplied), while the
other is a miracle of healing (Naaman was cleansed of leprosy).
So
even in the Old Testament, we see that God’s desire is to amply provide for and
heal people. It’s not His will for anyone to suffer lack, or to perish from disease.
In the New Testament, when Jesus encountered lack, He gave huge catches of
fish, and multiplied loaves and fish. When the sick came to Him, He always
healed them.
Jesus
is the same yesterday, today and forever. Settle it in your heart and mind that
He wants you healthy and provided for. Take time to read all the miracles of
provision and healing in the Gospels and see Jesus’ heart for you today.
