Jesus was born of, matured in, and anointed with the Spirit of God, and we see that He went about in the power of that anointing "doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him" (Acts 10.38). Even a casual look at the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament shows that He was continually setting people free who encountered Him with faith. There's not one instance in the New Testament where Jesus refused to heal someone who came to Him believing. There was even one woman who was not supposed to have healing, who persisted in faith and received healing for her daughter (Mt.15.21-28). The Bible tells us that Jesus healed multitudes time and again (Mt.12.15; 19.2; Lk.5.15). Jesus was good news to those who were oppressed. He set them free.
Jesus came and laid His very life down in order to provide for every person on the earth to have forgiveness of sin and an eternal relationship with God the Father. He took a beating in His body so your body could be healed (Isa.53.5; Mt.8.16,17). He came announcing and demonstrating the good news that every person can have a healthy wholesome life here and now. He taught that the way to have all God's provisions was by simply believing the Word of God that He taught.
Jesus taught and demonstrated that God is good and that He has designed to abundantly bless every person in every way. What the angels announced at His birth was demonstrated all through His life and ministry to others--"healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him."
Now the really good thing is that when He left earth and went back to heaven, He did not take that good news with Him. He trained a group of followers in this way of life, and when He left He gave them the commission to continue teaching and demonstrating this good news just the way He had done it. Not only that, He also told them to train others to go and do the same so that there is a perpetual continuance of that which He started on earth.
Today, we have the example of Jesus recorded for us in the Bible, and, we have that same commission given to us to announce and demonstrate the good news of the accomplished work of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. The sacrifice of Jesus gives provision for every person on earth to have forgiveness, healing, and an abundant life of wholeness in every way. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is given to make all that Jesus did for us real in our personal experience. He has come to bless, set free, heal, empower, lift up, and encourage--to bring the goodness of God into our lives in every way. Praise the Lord!
Believe His Word. Receive His Spirit upon your life. He said, "Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (Lk.12.32). Are you willing to believe the Word of Jesus, that He wants to bless you in every way? Are you willing to believe the good news of Jesus Christ, that He is for you and not against you? He is for you and not against you. Don't listen to anyone who would tell you otherwise. Jesus has come to bless you. Will you receive Him today? Speak to Him from your heart:
"Lord Jesus, I want to believe that you love me and desire to bless me with forgiveness and eternal life, healing, and wholeness in every way. I receive you, your Word, and your work on my behalf; I receive your Spirit with power upon my life, so that I might be set free in every way, healed in every way, and blessed in every way. Thank you, Lord. I give you my life and my love, and I will follow you as my Lord from this day on to bring this good news into the lives of others. Amen."
In Jesus there is good tidings of great joy to all people. In Jesus there is peace and the good will of God toward every person. All praise and glory goes to God in the highest. Thank you, Jesus.
