Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, Mark 1.14

The beginning of Jesus’ preaching was soon felt and known in Israel, because He went from town to town bringing the Good News of the Kingdom of God. Matthew spoke of the Master’s success: And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people (Matthew 4.23). His command is that we preach the same message!

Those who are imprisoned in evil works don’t have to wait until “when God wills” to see the same power set them free, because just as the Father sent Jesus, He also sends His faithful servants. The Most High expects us to bring the divine power of healing to the sick and other suffering people. The devil’s tyranny has never been seen so much as in our days. We must obey the Lord’s determination to free the afflicted!

The Master instructed the people to believe the message given by the Father, which was also already written in the Law, the prophets and the Psalms. When the ministry to the suffering is the same as that given by Jesus, people believe and God acts in their lives. We don’t have to create or accept other methods of filling up churches. If we do, we will declare that the Almighty doesn’t know the best way to operate. Does He?

There is a lack of wonders, prodigies and signs in our midst, because of the kind of message being announced. So, it is written: How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? (Romans 10.14). Speak the truth!

Your problem may be congenital (from birth or before), but by reading the Bible with exemption, examining it as Christ commanded, faith will enter your heart to receive healing. Moreover, you will observe in the twinkling of an eye, that it is a crime against the oppressed – to change heavenly guidance. Pay no attention to man’s statements, but to those of the Lord, who knows everything. To doubt the Word is to accept the evil one as Lord!

You see, death was swallowed up in Jesus’ victory: So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Corinthians 15.54). By believing in Christ’s sacrifice for humanity, which was dominated and enslaved by evil, you are completely freed and can be used to deliver thousands of souls from darkness.

There is no substitute for the Good News of what Jesus did in His death, for it carries the power to accomplish what it announces. Paul, in the midst of the storm, said that certainly nothing would happen to the crew, as the angel of the Lord had told him. Then he took bread, gave thanks to God, and ate. Then the others followed him (Acts 27:7-36). Eat the Bread, and the others will follow you!

In Christ, with love,
