The Incurable?

Luke wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 8:

42 But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.

43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,

The physicians labeled her disease incurable.  She spent all of her livelihood in a desperate attempt to be healed of her disease.  It was certainly a major problem in her life else she would have simply “managed” it without spending all of her money.  She had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.  She had lost all hope and surely feared that her days were numbered.

Why did she seek Jesus out?  In Matthew chapter 9, Jesus had just spoken this Truth, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick” after He healed a paralytic lying on a bed.  She heard His Words and saw His power.  Her hope and faith immediately rose up. 

44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.”

47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

48 And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

The world identifies many diseases as incurable but there is no such thing.  Man is missing the key ingredient to healing the incurable- the power and authority of Our Heavenly Father through Our Lord Jesus Christ.

How long did it take for the woman to be healed of her “incurable” disease?  It was immediate!  What is the world’s response to the healing ministry of Jesus?  They seek out alternatives which will promote their livelihood.  They have a system in place and they do not want it to be challenged.  What would happen if they no longer had “incurable” diseases to treat?

The Sons and Daughters are being prepared to walk in the same anointing as Our Elder Brother Jesus.  We will no longer be intimidated by “incurable” diseases or those who are demon-possessed.  The world classifies them as having psychological problems.  Is written by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 5:

12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.

13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly.

14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

Peter spoke to the lame man in Acts chapter 3, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

Peter did not mix up some potion or give credit to anyone but Jesus Christ.  The Apostles understood the Source of the power by which they spoke.  How is it that this Gospel has been watered down to the point where believers no longer earnestly seek and expect the power and authority of Jesus Christ to operate in this manner?  We must be tenacious in our commitment to press in to the Spiritual.  Agape Love seeks to cure in incurable.
