HEALING AND RESTORATION

Mark 5:21-43

Divine healing is one of the covenant rights of God’s children. It is God’s desire that we live in good health, above all things (3 John 2).

Important lessons to draw from the anchor text:

A lifestyle of worship gives you access to the Master's presence.

True worshippers will always secure the Master's attention. True worshippers are not mindful of what people will say. They are ever willing to bow before the King of Glory! God will sometimes allow some situations to occur in our lives, in order to bring us to our knees, He would rather put to death, everything that is of self, so that Christ alone will remain and live in us (Gal. 2:20).

Some of the ways we can worship God are:

 
Through our response to the Word of God
Through prayer
Through songs, etc.

Faith is the link to God’s power.

It’s the key to releasing the supernatural.
Through faith, walls of limitation become doors that lead to greater heights.
Through the hearing of faith, the Spirit of grace is set in motion…
Through the hearing of faith, the woman with the issue of blood drew the healing virtue from the Master (Mark 9:27-34).
In the midst of turmoil and difficult situations, people and circumstances of life will tell you, ‘why are you troubling the Master?’, ‘you do not need to pray any further, this is a rather hopeless situation’…
The Master’s response is this: ‘Be not afraid, only believe!’ (Mark 5:36).

The deep things of God are not found on the surface.

The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him… (Psalm 25:14).
When God wants to reveal a greater dimension of His greatness and power, He reveals them to people who have a genuine and insatiable longing for Him (Mark 5:37).

The Word of God reveals the intents and thoughts of men’s hearts…

When Jesus declared that the girl wasn’t dead, but was rather sleeping, the same people wo were meant to be weeping, mourning and wailing, laughed Him to scorn. The Word of God reveals the real identity of people and convicts their hearts! (Heb. 4:12-13; John 2:23-25).

Furthermore, some situations have been strategically positioned in your life, in order to mock the integrity of God’s Word in your life. 

Shut the door of your heart against ungodly thoughts, reasoning, communication, association, etc.

Unplug yourself from such association or gathering. Cut off every form of relationship with them… Come out from the midst of them…

After all these, Jesus said to the damsel, ‘Talitha cumi’ which means, ‘Damsel, I say unto you, arise’. And immediately, she arose and walked…

Likewise, through the authority of the Word of God, I declare that every dead situation in your life will arise, in the name of Jesus Christ. Every ‘dry bone’ situation in your life will rise again…

The same God who quickens the dead and declares those things that be not as though they were, He will bring to life, everything that represents death in your life (Romans 4:17).
