The Alpha of Healing of Diseases

UV 2995 /10000 The Alpha of Healing of Diseases
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Matthew 4 v 23


Jesus is the Good Root or Alpha of healing of Diseases. He is the Balm of Gilead who can heal all manner of diseases and sicknesses. Jesus proved that He had authority and power to heal and deliver by healing people of all types of incurable diseases like leprosy, healed people of disabilities like blindness and deafness, called back the dead to life. He cast out demons, evil spirits, healed the demented and the broken hearted. To this day, doctors can by use of their medical knowledge heal some diseases but they cannot heal the broken hearted. Jesus proved that He is the Specialist of Specialists- no disease, no ailment or illness was beyond His power to heal or cure. He was full of the power of the Holy Spirit and of grace to execute healing by the mere utterance of the word of healing or by simple gestures like applying mud mixed with His saliva to a deaf man’s ears. He proved to all including the critics that He is the visible image of Jehovah Rapha- the Healer.

The Good Root imparts the same power of healing and deliverance to His branches, believers beginning with the apostles. The apostles could command the lame to walk. The mere shadow of Peter falling on people could heal them. Peter also brought the dead to life as in the case of Dorcas. To this day, many men and women of God have called into being the healing of all types of diseases in different parts of the world. In some documented cases, even the dead have come alive. Though some in our times have been given the supernatural gift of healing, we can all exercise faith to be personally healed as well as to call for the healing or deliverance of others whom we pray for. Healing occurs as we pray as a confirmation from the Lord that He is with us as the Holy Spirit.

The uni-verse states that Jesus focussed on teaching and preaching while miracles of healing accompanied or followed such sessions of teaching. Miracles of healing occur to meet the individual needs of the suffering in response to their cries and their faith that they can be healed by the divine touch or word as well as to demonstrate the power and sovereignty of the Lord. The Lord desires to heal in order to wipe the tears of suffering people and to fill them with joy. But above all and beyond mere healing of bodies or minds, He desires the salvation of their spirits. Even Lazarus who was resurrected by Jesus died eventually and was buried. It is not just healing or temporary resurrection that is intended by the Lord but that we share in the eternal resurrection, that we are forever part of the eternal kingdom of God.
