Just to share:
Luke 13:16-17
16 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?" (NKJV)
As I was meditating on this verse this morning, I received some new revelations that I hope will boost your faith.
The legalistic Pharisees saw healing as a work. To them healing the sick and receiving healing belonged to "work days" not the Sabbath day.
Jesus saw healing NOT as a work, but a BIRTH RIGHT.
"...ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham"
What reason did Jesus give for her right - "OUGHT NOT" - to be healed?
He said that she was "A DAUGHTER OF ABRAHAM".
Jesus wanted to heal her because it was her birth right!
Healing today is not a work, it is not even a privilege, not even a gift, but YOUR BIRTH RIGHT as sons and daughters of God, as sons and daughters of Abraham through Christ -- Abraham's seed.
God wants you healed. He tells others "Ought not this child of mine be healed?" And he does not wait for the answer, He just lays His hands on you and you are raised up.
And what is the environment in which this can take place? Rest. When we are at rest. When we rest with God who rested. First at the creation. Second when His Son cried out "It is finished!" and sat down at His right hand.
The work of healing was finished at the cross. Rest and receive. Don't try to work for it. "Do I have enough faith? Have I confessed enough scriptures? Am I believing right?"
Rest. It is done. It is your birth right. And He wants to.
