Jesus Has The Power And Authority

Matthew 8:15-17 (NLT)
But when Jesus touched her hand, the fever left her. Then she got up and prepared a meal for him.
That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. All the spirits fled when he commanded them to leave; and he healed all the sick. This fulfilled the word of the Lord through Isaiah, who said, "He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases."

Luke 4:40 (NLT)
As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one.





Matthew continues to show Jesus’ kingly nature. Through a single touch, Jesus healed (Matthew 8:3, 15); when he spoke a single word, evil spirits fled his presence (Matthew 8:16). Jesus has authority over all evil powers and all earthly disease. He also has power and authority to conquer sin. Sickness and evil are consequences of living in a fallen world. But in the future, when God removes all sin, there will be no more sickness and death. Jesus’ healing miracles were a taste of what the whole world will one day experience in God’s kingdom.

There are people today that need to believe again that Jesus Christ can heal you or your family member of any sickness or disease, even addictions. Gods word never changes, He is the same yesterday and today and will be tomorrow as well. Take the time if you are in a situation today to look in the scriptures and see what the word says about your healing and how God wants to help you.
