That evening they brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.” Matthew 8:16-17
I’ve wonder how the people back in Jesus’ day could see the miracles and still not believe. How could they see all the signs and wonders and not believe He was the Savior?
I mean, casting out demons, healing lepers, raising the dead–this is not everyday stuff we’re talking about! How could you possibly miss what was going on here? But, I guess they struggled with the same problem that we do today--UNBELIEF!
As I attended "The Waiting" in Louisville last week, I was reminded that we believers have that same power living in us. In the Mighty Name of Jesus, we can cast out demons and heal the sick. Jesus says in Mark 9:23, "All things are possible for the one who believes." Lord, help us with our unbelief!
Today, resist the devil and commit fully to Jesus. Tomorrow,do the same thing and watch what Jesus can do!
