Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The blessed word that the Lord has given for you today is from the book of Luke 13:11-13, “And a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
This woman was suffering from this infirmity for eighteen long years. Due to her infirmity, she was unable to look up straight. Why did this sickness come upon her? There are many reasons for a sickness. One of the cause is because of certain sins that they do. Some people fall sick due to some family curses. God permits sickness to some people to test their faith. Once their period of testing comes to an end, God will give them double strength and will sustain them. They do not have to be worried about that. The other is because of the spirit of sickness that affects a person. Such was the case of this woman. She was affected by the spirit of sickness that brought infirmity. The children of God must understand the reason for their sickness. There is a gift called the Spirit of discernment that the Lord is willing to give you today. When a person falls sick, you must be able to understand the cause and try to remove the reason of the sickness.
In the above bible portion, God understood the reason for her sickness and so God said, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” As soon as God said this, the spirit of infirmity left her and her back straightened and she could walk straight.
My dearly beloved, the Lord will reveal to you the cause of your sickness. If you are suffering from any such sickness, just stretch your hands out to the Lord and say, “Lord! please forgive all the sins of my forefathers and deliver me from my sickness.” Then the Lord will set you free from your sickness. Today is the day of your miracle. There is nothing that God cannot do.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. My children have been suffering from various diseases. They have tried various medications yet not healed. Lord, I pray that You may have mercy upon them and forgive the sins of their forefathers or even if it is their own sins. I pray that they may receive healing in the name of Jesus. Father, deliver them from all their problems. Be with them and bless them. In Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
