FAITH CAPSULE: The power to heal, cleanse, and deliver are in His hand.

Luke 4:38-39, 5:12-15

The main purpose of the evil one is to deny us from serving God. Among the agents of the evil that deny, delay or derail one is the physical or spiritual sickness. Shame or mockery is also among his affliction that he often uses to delay, deny or derail a believer from serving God. Once there was a need for Jesus to be served by Simon’s mother in-law but the enemy’s mark of sickness upon her life made it impossible. It is written in Luke 4:38-39, “Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her. So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.” Simon’s wife’s mother received healing touch of Jesus and she was up to serve the Lord. The power to move from sickness to serving the Master is in the hand of the Master. As it was requested on behalf of Simon’s wife’s mother, will you request for His hand to bring you out of all that is keeping you from serving Him? Could it be cleansing that you need Jesus’ hand to address in your life that you may serve Him without any delay? Just as healing is in His hand so there is cleansing. Jesus’ hand will clean every mark of mockery if you will call for the extension of His healing hand. Luke 5:12-13, “And 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, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.”” The man that was full of leprosy fell on his face to ask for his cleansing and he received his cleansing. Leprosy without any doubt is an agent of shame, embarrassment and mockery. Is there any way or anyhow you have been experiencing shame, mockery or any kind of disease or situation that is causing you from not being able to present yourself where you have a need to present yourself? Again, your cleansing and deliverance is in the hand of the Healing Master Jesus. Are you willing to receive your cleansing? You must be ready to fall on your face and implore Him for His intervention. The man that was full of leprosy fell on his face he received cleansing from his head to his toe. All that it takes for anyone to be delivered and free is in asking the Master and without asking, it will not be activated.

Pray for today: Ask for the Master’s hand to locate you in this season.
