August 19 Devotion - God's Healing Power

The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.

 ³ يَعْضُدُهُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى فِرَاشِ الأَلَمِ، وَيَرُدُّ عَافِيَتَهُ.

Psalm 41:3

 Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. ¹⁵ So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.

وَذَهَبَ يَسُوعُ إِلَى بَيْتِ بُطْرُسَ، فَوَجَدَ حَمَاتَهُ طَرِيحَةَ الْفِرَاشِ تُعَانِي مِنَ الْحُمَّى.
 ¹⁵ فَلَمَسَ يَدَهَا، فَذَهَبَتْ عَنْهَا الْحُمَّى، وَنَهَضَتْ وَأَخَذَتْ تَخْدِمُهُ.

Matthew 8:14-15

 We know that Jesus has the healing power and that He performed many miracles when He was on earth. The question many of us sometimes ask is: Does He still heal today? The answer is in the following biblical truth:

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

 ⁸ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ هُوَ هُوَ أَمْساً وَالْيَوْمَ وَإِلَى الأَبَدِ.

Hebrews 13:8

 

Jesus did not want those who were healed to go and announce about His miracles because, I believe, He wanted us to concentrate on Him and His message of Salvation, rather than the miracles themselves.
 

He also told many of those He healed ‘your faith has healed you’. Jesus is still healing.

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourselves and others:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, give us enough faith to receive Your healing. Lord, I pray for all those who are sick and afflicted and for their families. God, give them health and perseverance, help them to go through the tough times knowing You are carrying them. As You taught us Jesus, in Your prayers to The Father, Your will be done. Amen.

Jesus loves you
In Him,
