"Now He was teaching in one of the
synagogues on the Sabbath.
And behold, there was a woman who
had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years
and was bent over and could in no way
raise herself up.
But when Jesus saw her, He called her
to Him and said to her, 'Woman, you
are loosed from your infirmity.'
And He laid His hands on her and
immediately she was made straight
and glorified God.
But the ruler of the synagogue answered
with indignation, because Jesus had
healed on the Sabbath; and he said to
the crowd, 'There are six days on which
men ought to work; therefore come and
be healed on them and not on the
Sabbath Day.'
The Lord then answered him and said,
'Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on
the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from
the stall and lead it away to water it?
So ought not this woman, being a daughter
of Abraham, whom Satan has bound,
think of it, for eighteen years, be loosed from
this bond on the Sabbath.'
And when He said these things, all His
adversaries were put to shame; and all the
glorious things were done by Him."
..........Luke 13:10-17
The word 'ought' shows, not only the
appropriateness of healing God's people,
it demonstrates the obligation to heal God's
people.
God's people have a right to receive healing.
It's our covenant right, we are the sons and
daughters of Abraham.
He has given believers the same authority
to bind and to loose.
LORD,
You keep all Your covenant promises.
You heal the brokenhearted and set the
captives free.
You loose us from all our infirmities and
by Your grace we can stand up straight
and tall.
Thank You for healing us everyday!
..........In the name of Jesus!
