Luke recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 5:
15 However, the report went around concerning Him all the more; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
Our responsibility is to hear and listen intently to The Word thus allowing It to become one with us. As the people heard Jesus’ words they were to receive their healing from Him. In Joshua chapter 1 THE SPIRIT wrote:
8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
This is a simple and very effective verse for us to place our faith in on a daily basis. We are encouraged to speak and meditate on HIS Word day and night along with acting on HIS Word resulting in good success in a prosperous fashion. When we fully align ourselves with FATHER’S Word then we come into unity with HIM just as Jesus is. This results in us becoming mature Sons and Daughters.
As we focus on the Words of Jesus and listen to what He is saying, our bodies begin responding to His Words of life and healing. It may begin slowly but most assuredly our mind and bodies will respond. In Luke chapter 6:
17 And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,
18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.
Once again we find that our part is to diligently listen to Jesus’ Words for our healing. Jesus was not reluctant to heal but “healed them all” so we should not be hesitant to seek His healing power in our lives. The people came to hear and in response He healed them ALL.
THE SPIRIT wrote in Acts chapter 14:
6 they became aware of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region.
7 And they (Paul and Barnabas) were preaching the gospel there.
8 And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked.
9 This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10 said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked.
Paul was constantly preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ and the crippled man was continually hearing this message. The crippled man’s faith was being built up as he heard and listened. Paul became aware of this man and observed him intently discerning that his faith had increased to the point where he could be healed by his faith. The man listened intently, his faith grew, and he was healed of a life-long malady. Does it get any better than that?
In a previous writing I wrote about shama` shama` in Exodus 15:
There He (THE LORD) made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them, 26 and said, “If you diligently heed (shama` shama`) the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”
The first use of shama` shama` or diligently heed, hearken, or listen is specifically connected to FATHER’S expressed healing power. FATHER established early on that HE was able and wanted to heal us of our sickness and disease. Likewise, Jesus expressed FATHER’S Love in the same manner when we walked the earth. In addition, the disciples also preached this message of healing, the people listened intently, and they were healed. It is still true and applicable to us as well.
Mankind tends to be negatively oriented thus we need to hear the Good News until we become positively oriented and allow our faith to grow with the good seed of the Gospel planted in us. The result is we become optimistic rather than pessimistic and cynical. Look at your words to see which category you are in for out the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Is is time to hear the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and allow HIS Word to remove the world’s impact on us. In response His healing power will overshadow us and we will look to share the Good News of Jesus Christ to those who also desire to hear intently and desire to be healed and restored.
