Jesus has the authority to heal physically and spiritually

• The faith of your friends matters..Some men brought to him Jesus saw their faith

Who are your faith friends?

There was a physical healing and a spiritual healing “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”

• Before Jesus healed the man physically he healed him spiritually

• Sometimes our spiritual states affects our physical/emotional state.

The teachers of the law said to themselves so they didn’t say it out loud. And Jesus who knows our thoughts asked them “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts?

What does your thought life look like?

• Jesus has the authority to forgive sins
• But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.”

Healing fills people with awe and praise

• When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.

Where do you need to seek healing emotionally, spiritually, and physically?

Jesus has the authority to heal on the Sabbath Jesus Heals a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath

• Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,

• a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years.

• She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.

• When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.”

• Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.

• Jesus saw her and called her. He knows the position we are standing in, bent over in, laid out no matter what. And he spoke healing over her with his word. YOU ARE SET FREE from your infirmity.

• You can be free sis. What is it that you need to be FREE from?

• After he spoke the healing with His Word he touched. The Word of God is not bound once it was spoken she was healed.

• Her response was to praise God

• After 18 years of being bent out of shape with her head slumped over to the ground she could look up she could see. Her life was a ground level and now by the grace of the healing Father, she was God level. She could lift her eyes to her helper the maker of heaven and earth.

• So the synagogue leaders were big mad because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath
• Jesus called them hypocrites! And said your animals can get water. But this woman can't get freedom from what Satan has kept bound in for 18 years

CSB-disabled by a spirit. The Word also said she was bound for 18 years. Satan had placed a demonic attack on her life.

Jesus called this woman, a daughter of Abraham. She was a member of the covenant and its promises

Hebrews 2:16b……Helps Abraham’s offspring.

This was the mic drop moment because after that they were humiliated

I like how the Word uses the opponents. They were against him.

But the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.

When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.

We see Jesus in both these people's lives…Change their position one was lying on a stretcher and the other one was bent over.

We see both of these people had spiritual aliments -because there was sin that needed to be forgiven in the man first and a spirit to be delivered from in the woman

We we that the scribe and synagogue leaders could not see Jesus for who He really was. The Son of Man. The one with authority.

We see the response of the people. Awestruck and praising God and filled with delight

The Chew

Real friends carry you to Jesus. Whether it's a sin or sickness. A burden or a birth. Grief or great Joy. They are willing to lower you through the roof of your circumstances and into the presence of the true healer. Jehovah Rapha
