FULL OF LEPROSY< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Luke 5:12-15

ÒAnd it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, ÒLord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.Ó (Luke 5:12) A man who did not just  have leprosy, but was full of leprosy saw Jesus. This man knew who he needed to look to in order to get healed from the disease that was having him. The fullness of his leprosy was a demonstration that he did not only having leprosy, but leprosy had him. In many cases when you are down in a situation that is beyond comprehension, you can easily lose seeing the Healing Healer because the fullness of your situation has taken away all your focus. Today, how are you handling the situation that is beyond your control? Are you seeing Jesus in it or out of it? Are you looking out to see Jesus? It is one thing to be in a situation and it is another to be in a situation and be down in such situation. If you are in a situation that is beyond your control, there will be a need to see Jesus either through prayer; through the Word of His grace as documented in the pages of the Bible or through giving Him praise and worship. The children of Israel were not just in bondage for over four hundred years, but they were also down in it until God declared, ÒAnd I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.Ó (Exodus 3:17) The same God who was yesterday, is today and will be tomorrow will bring you out of all that is keeping you down in all the down areas of life. The man with the leprosy fell down before the King of kings and the Lord of lords because he acknowledged the power that Jesus carries. It was a parallel flat down fall whereby he had his face down and in that fall, he called for help. He knew that the grace to give and to take belongs only unto Jesus. As a result, he was submissive in his request by stating, ÒLord, if you are willingÓ. (Luke 5:12)  He was expecting a miracle. He wanted and needed a miracle that would bring him from down to up. It is impossible to fall down before the Lord and not rise up for His Name to be glorified. God wants to be glorified because He is the King of Glory. Jesus will not be unwilling concerning all that confronts us. He will help in all that represents all kinds of infirmities in our lives in the name of Jesus.
