Luke 9, Part 5

Scripture: Luke 9:37-43

Observation: A father comes to Jesus begging Him to heal his son who is demon possessed. The man had asked Jesus' disciples to heal his son, but they couldn't. Jesus has them bring the child, and while on the way the demon attacks the boy, who falls into convulsions. Jesus rebukes the demon and heals the boy to the astonishment of the crowd.

Application: Satan will attack anyone - he doesn't care if it's a child, a woman, the elderly, etc. He has compassion for no one. But we who have access to Christ can rejoice, because Jesus can do what no one else can. When our children recover from sickness, when a family member is healed, when a freind comes through a difficult trial, we know who we have to thank - the One who has power and authority over all.

Prayer: I have more than just a friend in Jesus. I have an All Knowing Savior, an All Powerful Healer, who has all authority on earth and heaven to heal us from any malady, physical or spiritual. Thank You Father, for giving us a Savior to turn to in times of want, of need, of joy and of pain. Thank You Jesus, for loving me so much You would give up Your life for me. May my life give testimony to Your love. In Christ Jesus, Amen.
