「得醫治」
“群眾都設法摸他，因為有能力從他身上出來，治好眾人。”路加福音6章19節
一大群眾從猶太、耶路撒冷、推羅、西頓等地而來，要聽耶穌的講道，就是路加福音6章19節所描述的。路加跟我們分享，這大班群眾全都身患疾病，或內附不潔淨的靈。經文中沒有清楚記錄人數，但我相信是數以千計的，因經文多處提到有五千個男丁來聽耶穌，即是說如要把婦孺計算在內，總人數會是雙倍甚至三倍。朋友，這是個好大的聚會！而每一個人都呼喊要聽耶穌，並設法觸摸祂。
之後，路加記下了這難忘的一句：「有能力從祂（耶穌）身上出來，治好『眾人』。」不只是治好一些人，而是治好眾人；不只是選出某些人，而是治好所有人。我反而感興趣的是何以馬太、馬可、路加和約翰都有此重複的描述 — 耶穌說：「你的信使你痊癒了。」或「你的信救了你。」
一次又一次的證實，人們得醫治是因自己的信心......這信心能讓神施行神蹟。試想你自己現在站在人群當中，見證了不單數人，而是數以千計的人憑信心得醫治。你身旁的婦女得醫治，接著是前面的男人，然後是你後面的那人，又到你身邊的人，下一位、下一位、下一位，直至你相信凡事都可能，這正是你得醫治的時刻！突然，你對自己說：「你為何要那麼久才相信？畢竟，這是基督，永活神的兒子！」
朋友，神的醫治、寬恕和拯救從沒停止，你所要做的是相信，這對今天的「你」而言就是真理。相信並得醫治。
祈禱：
耶穌基督，永活神的兒子，我相信這刻我所要做的，就是伸手摸祢的袍邊，我就會得醫治！我奉耶穌的名禱告。阿們！
今天你需要什麼醫治的神蹟？什麼原因難阻你求問神施行神蹟？不管是什麼，把一切放開，試想神蹟正在你周遭發生，並求主賜下祢所渴望的神蹟。現在，等候主，並看將要發生的事！

Be Healed
“And the whole multitude sought to touch Him (Jesus), for the power went out from Him and healed them all.” - Luke 6:19
A great multitude of people from all over Judea and Jerusalem and Tyre and Sidon came to hear Jesus on this day described in Luke 6:19. Luke shares with us that, within those in this great throng of people, were all manner of diseases and illnesses and unclean, indwelling spirits. No number is given, but I can imagine thousands, for the Gospels speak many times of gatherings of 5,000 men coming to hear Jesus, meaning that, when you also include the women and children, those ranks would swell to double or triple that size. Friends, this was one large gathering! And, every one in attendance was clamoring to hear Jesus and to be touched by Him.
Then Luke gives us this remarkable line: “For the power went out from Him (Jesus) and He healed them ALL!” Not just some, but all. Not just a few chosen, but all. It’s interesting to me how - repeatedly in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - Jesus says, “Your faith has made you well,” or “Your faith has healed you.”
Timeafter time healing was a matter of the faith of the person being healed…faith that God was able to perform the miracle. Now, imagine standing in that crowd and witnessing that kind of faith in not just a few, but thousands. The woman next to you is healed, then the man in front of you, then behind you, then around you, then another, and another, and another, and another, to the point where you believe anything is possible - and that’s exactly the point when you are healed! Suddenly, you say to yourself, “What took you so long to believe? This is, after all, the Christ, the Son of the living God!”
Friends, God has not stopped healing, forgiving, and saving. All you have to do is believe. That’s true for YOU today. Believe and be healed.
Prayer:
Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, I believe that all I have to do right now is to reach out and touch the hem of Your garment and I will be healed! In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
What miracle healing do you need today? What’s holding you back from asking for a miracle? Put whatever it is aside, imagine miracles happening all around you, and ask the Lord for the miracle you so desire. Now, wait on the Lord, and watch what happens!
