The Healer

Jesus is the Great Healer. The Bible tells us in Psalm 103:3 that the Lord is the one who forgives all our sin and heals all our diseases. Sometimes He works through medicine, and sometimes He works through miracles, but you can be assured that when healing takes place, the Lord is the one who brings the healing. In the gospels, we read a story of how a man comes to Jesus asking for healing for his dying 12-yr-old daughter, and how a woman who has been struggling with an illness for 12 years interrupts Jesus on the way to the man's house. What Jesus does is amazing.

But, does Jesus still heal today? If so, how do we receive this healing? And what about emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healing - can He do all of that? Also, what about those times when it seems like Jesus is not bringing healing? What about people we pray for who don't receive healing? Is that a sign of lack of faith on someone's part? These and other questions are answered in this message The Healer, from Matthew 9:18-26 (and other select passages). http://www.lpbaptist.org/TheHealer.mp3
