The Healing power of Christ

Today I shared a message entitled " The Healing power of Christ" from Luke Luke 5:17-26

Luke 5:17-26 (New International Version)

Jesus Heals a Paralytic

17One day as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem, were sitting there. And the power of the Lord was present for him to heal the sick. 18Some men came carrying a paralytic on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. 19When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.

20When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven." 21The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

22Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 24But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." He said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 25Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. 26Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."

Jesus was given authority and power from God to bring healing to three realms.

• Healing in the physical realm
• Healing in the spiritual realm
  
• Healing in the emotional realm

Firstly, in this passage of scriptures, this cripple man was healed by Jesus and he was able to walk. It was the supernatural power of God that enable this cripple man to walk when Jesus commanded him to walk. Secondly, Jesus said the cripple man "Friend, your sins are forgiven". This is healing in the spiritual realm. This cripple man was separated from God due to sin but Jesus came to restore his relationship with God. Jesus pardoned the cripple man's sins so he can have a relationship with God. Thirdly, many people rejoiced when they witnessed a miracle healing. Jesus brought joy to the cripple man by healing him physically and spiritually. This once cripple man was able to work instead of being a beggar. Jesus restored his dignity and self worth. This is healing of the emotional realm.

We need to come to Jesus for God's healing power like this cripple man. God wants to heal us in the physical realm, spiritual realm and emotional realm. After the message, we began to pray for people and we witnessed God healing people. Glory to God! Tap into the healing power of Christ today.
