    DOCTOR’S ORDERS
    “There are six days for working. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath.” —Luke 13:14

    There is often an excuse for not being healed. The chief of the synagogue said it was the wrong day for Jesus to release the stooped woman from her shackles (Lk 13:14, 16). The real reason was that the religious leaders were jealous of Jesus (Mt 27:18). We may say the place, person, or method is not right for healing, but perhaps we are just making excuses to mask fear, unforgiveness, pride, or sin.

    Many people refuse to go to a healing service because they don’t feel comfortable. Many people do not feel open to being prayed for right out on the street, although Jesus healed people on the street more than anywhere else. Also, we may be turned off to the person the Lord has chosen to minister His healing to us.

    There’s always something standing in the way of our being healed. Receiving God’s healing means obeying “Doctor’s orders” (Dr. Jesus), although we can think of a hundred excuses why not to obey. God’s healing is for you, for now, and for here. No excuses. Let the Lord love and heal you.



    Prayer: Father, “give us today our daily bread” (Mt 6:11), that is, our basic needs, including healing.

    Promise: “As for lewd conduct or promiscuousness or lust of any sort, let them not even be mentioned among you; your holiness forbids this.” —Eph 5:3

    Praise: St. Anthony Mary Claret began his young adulthood as a weaver. He entered seminary at the age of 22. After much fruitful mission work, he was named Archbishop of Santiago, Cuba.

    FREE IN PRISON
    “I plead with you, then as a prisoner for the Lord.” —Ephesians 4:1

    How much do you love Jesus? How much suffering would you endure for His sake? Would you be willing to die for Him? Would you be a prisoner for the Lord?

    God’s Word tells us to expect persecution (2 Tm 3:12). It’s not uncommon for Christians to be arrested. A good portion of the New Testament was written in prison. Many believers throughout the world are suffering imprisonment at this moment for the sake of the Gospel. The world may look down on prisoners, but Jesus says: I was “in prison and you came to visit Me” (Mt 25:36). It’s an honor to be in an earthly prison for the sake of Jesus’ Gospel.

    However, never enter the prison of sin, with its cells of unforgiveness, resentment, and apathy. “When you are going with your opponent to appear before a magistrate, try to settle with him on the way lest he turn you over to the judge, and the judge deliver you up to the jailer, and the jailer throw you into prison” (Lk 12:58). Settle with God; be washed in the blood of Jesus; repent. Never let your spirit become a slave and prisoner of sin (Jn 8:34).

    Enemies may imprison your body, but they can never imprison your spirit unless you let them. Be free in Jesus Christ.



    Prayer: Jesus, if You free us, we are truly free. Free us (Jn 8:36).

    Promise: “Make every effort to preserve the unity which has the Spirit as its origin and peace as its binding force.” —Eph 4:3

    Praise: Unexpectedly, Patricia found her childhood, child-like faith as a prisoner.
