Encounter #2

Deliverance, Miracles & Healings

In Jesus' Name

Read: Mark 1:21-34

While Jesus was teaching as a Rabbi in the Synagogue in Capernaum, there was a man possessed with an unclean spirit. The spirit recognized Jesus a the Son of God, the Holy One of God, the Messiah. It didn't want to be tormented before its time. This unclean spirit was lewd, impure and foul. Jesus brought deliverance to this poor, tormented man. The spirit was cast out. Demons must obey His command. Jesus has all authority in Heaven and in earth. He is your Deliverer.

When Jesus left the Synagogue, He went to Peter's mother-in-law's home. She had a fever. Jesus took her hand and healed her. She ministered to those who were at her home. The Miracle Worker was in the house. All things were possible. Jesus has a miracle for you today.

That evening, the people of the city brought to Jesus those that were possessed, diseased and sick. Jesus healed them physically and spiritually. The sick & diseased were healed of their physical ailments and the possessed were spiritually healed of their torments. Jesus is your Healer.

Interesting: the demons knew Who Jesus was but some of the religious people did not recognize Him as the Son of God, the Messiah. Jesus has come to bring “liberty to the captives” (Is. 61; Luke 4)

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus to die for my sins and my sicknesses. I ask you Jesus to forgive me of my sins and to heal me. You are my Deliverer, Miracle Worker and Healer. I receive from you this day all that I need, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Application: Look for opportunities today to pray for those who are sick & diseased. Pray in faith that Jesus will touch them, and heal them. Let Him use you. Those who are possessed can receive deliverance. Be led and empowered by the Holy Spirit to set captives free in Jesus' Name. Jesus still heals, works miracles and brings deliverance today. He is the Messiah, the Son of God. Trust Him and be His instrument to be a witness of His healing and saving grace.

Encounter Jesus: Receive His healing & deliverance.
