HEALING — THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD

Peter calls God’s hand a “mighty hand” (1 Pet. 5:6). This mighty hand of God was on full display in the ministry of Jesus. When Jesus’ hometown received Him they marveled “that such mighty works are performed by His hands” (Mark 6:2). This was a Man who would reach out and touch unclean lepers and bring them into wholeness (Mark 1:41). A Man who had such great compassion for the hurting that when confronted with a multitude of sick folk “He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them” (Luke 4:40). Throughout the Gospels Christ is constantly stretching out His mighty hand to bring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, strength to the lame, and deliverance to all diseased. Christ has not stopped stretching out His mighty hand. A hand that is now nail-pierced. A hand with the signature of His carrying away of disease on the cross. This mighty hand of love is stretched out today through His body on earth—the church! Believers will lay hands on the sick and see them recover! (James 5:14-15; Mark 16:18) Join us as we delve into the truths about the Mighty Hand of God!
