Heal the sick? Not just pray for the sick? Yes you can!

Yes! Heal the sick then announce that the kingdom of God is near. (Luke 10:9).

This is a part of the instructions that Jesus gave to His disciples. Please take note that He did not say:

Preach to the sick

Pray for the sick – we may choose to pray for them for other things.

He said heal the sick!

To me this means the the disciples knew how to heal the sick.

Also take note that Jesus instructed them to heal the sick even before announcing the kingdom.

The way I read this is that healing the sick is the first demonstration of God’s Kingdom to the people who are open to knowing God.

Those who ask for help in the area of healing! Any type of healing!

Another point I have noticed from this instruction is that Jesus knew that they could heal the sick. He told them to do it.

He did not say try to heal the sick!

When you meet a person who is open to you, shows you love and respect even when they know how much you love God. If they open up their circle of influence to you then, bless them! Pray for them and heal the sick among them!

Tell them about the Kingdom of God and invite them to start a discovery group. Stay with them and guide them until they believe in and commit to following Jesus!

Then baptize them in water!

Don’t stop until they are baptized!

Then coach them until they baptize someone else!

Hallelujah!
