Morning Affirmation (Ep. 153): Today, I Seek to Bring Healing
Luke 9:2 NKJV
“He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.”
Today, I seek to be an instrument of God’s healing wherever I go. Healing can touch every area where life has been wounded—physical bodies, broken hearts, damaged relationships, troubled minds, spiritual oppression, and circumstances that have left people hurting and without hope. Jesus did not ignore human suffering; He confronted it with compassion and power. Matthew 9:35 (NKJV) says that Jesus went about “preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” Then He sent His disciples to continue that ministry. Therefore, I will not merely notice the pain around me; I will look for opportunities to bring the love, encouragement, prayer, and healing power of Jesus into hurting lives. I will “strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees” (Isaiah 35:3 NKJV), comfort the brokenhearted, pray for the sick, and boldly stand upon God’s promise that “by His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5 NKJV).
Peter and John demonstrated this when they encountered the lame man at the Beautiful Gate. They did not have silver or gold to solve his problem, but they possessed something greater—the authority of the name of Jesus. Peter declared, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6 NKJV), and the man was restored. Today, I remember that I also carry the name of Jesus, the Word of God, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. I will pray in faith, speak words that bring life, resist spiritual oppression, encourage those who are discouraged, and help restore those who have been wounded. Proverbs 12:18 (NKJV) says, “the tongue of the wise promotes health.” Therefore, my words will not deepen wounds—they will help heal them. My presence will not add to another person’s burden—it will help lift it. Today, I seek to bring healing. I am an ambassador of Christ, a carrier of His compassion, and wherever God gives me opportunity, I will minister His love, His peace, His Word, and His healing power to those who are hurting.
