Healed All Who Were Ill

When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: "HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES." Matthew 8:16-17
As Jesus told John’s disciples...“Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM. Luke 7:22. He came to heal—bodies and spirits. That is just what people who came to Him is this scripture passage were expecting Jesus to do…to heal the demon-possessed and sick people. That is just what He did. He is still doing that. Just ask and you will receive, as Jesus said…"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7. Even healing from demon-possession. That takes prayer and fasting. Spiritual possession is not something that most of us deal with on a daily basis—and is not something for the spiritually weak or untrained to delve into. Don’t face that alone. Seek out help from mature Christians who have had experience with that if you need to come alongside someone with that problem.
RSVP: Jesus is inviting you to allow Him to take on the healing of any illness—physical or spiritual—that you or those you love may have. Will you trust Him to help you? How will you respond to Him today? 
Prayer ~ Jesus, Thank You for the healing touch that You have given to me, my family, friends and neighbors—for taking on our infirmities and diseases.
