Healing Promises (18 page)

Come Boldly!

God has made you righteous through the cross of Jesus so that you can always come
boldly
into His presence and find a throne of grace—not judgment.

You need to know that God has made you righteous in His sight so that you can take up His invitation to come boldly, always expecting “to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need”, for the littlest to the most debilitating symptom in your body.

Today, come boldly to the One who loves you passionately and unconditionally. Come boldly to the One who knows every symptom in your body and who has the healing you need. He waits eagerly for you to draw boldly from His mercy and grace!

CHAPTER 4

See His Grace And
Be Healed

When she heard about Jesus, she came behind
Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For
she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall
be made well.” Immediately the fountain of her
blood was dried up, and she felt in her body
that she was healed of the affliction. And Jesus,
immediately knowing in Himself that power had
gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd
and said, “Who touched My clothes?”…But the
woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what
had happened to her, came and fell down before
Him and told Him the whole truth. And He said
to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.
Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

ARK 5:27–34

See Jesus’ Grace And He Will See Your Faith

“I don’t think I have enough faith to be healed.”

My friend, it’s not for you to see how much faith you have. That’s God’s department. All you need to do is simply see how gracious God is toward you.

The woman with the issue of blood didn’t go around saying,
“I
must have faith.
I
must have faith…” No, she wasn’t conscious of her faith (or lack of it). She was conscious of Jesus and His goodness. How? She heard about Jesus. She must have heard all about His kindness toward the sick and oppressed, and how He healed and delivered them ALL.

She simply saw Jesus in His grace, and Jesus saw her faith and affirmed it—“Daughter, your faith has made you well.” Beloved, just focus on Jesus’ grace. See how He healed ALL without qualification and keep hearing of His goodness!

Are you conscious of

YOUR

FAITH?

Or are you conscious of

GOD’S GRACE?

See
Jesus
in

His grace,

and He will see you

in your
faith.

Then they shall eat the flesh on that night;
roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and
with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

XODUS 12:8

He also brought them out with silver
and gold, and there was none feeble
among His tribes.

SALM 105:37

The next day John saw Jesus coming
toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of
God who takes away the sin of the world!”

OHN 105:37

‘Roasted In Fire’

They ate their way out of slavery and bondage.

God had told His people to take a lamb for each household, roast it, apply its blood on their doorposts and eat the roasted lamb in their homes that night. The next day, all the Israelites, with “none feeble” among them, walked out of Egypt into freedom.

Why eat the lamb roasted? Because it was a picture of Jesus, the true Lamb of God, exhausting the fiery wrath of God for all our sins and paying the full price for our healing at the cross.

The physical roasted lamb they ate was a shadow. Today, you have the real thing. Whenever you partake of the Holy Communion, see the true Lamb of God judged for your sins and sicknesses. He has freed and delivered you from every disease!

…Himself bore our sins in His own
body on the tree, that we, having died
to sins, might live for righteousness—
by whose stripes you were healed.

I am poured out like water, and all
My bones are out of joint; My heart is
like wax; it has melted within Me.
