Born in 1813, Ethan Otis Allen suffered as a youth from a deadly disease called consumption. It’s now known as pulmonary tuberculosis. Doctors could do little, and his frail body was wasting away. Those around him quietly believed he would not live long.
In 1846, Allen attended a humble Methodist meeting in a small country schoolhouse. That night, he surrendered his life to Christ. The joy that flooded his heart made him bold enough to ask the believers to pray for his healing.
As hands were laid on him and prayers lifted to heaven, the impossible happened. Strength surged through his body, his lungs cleared, and the weakness vanished. He was instantly and completely healed.
In gratitude and honor to God, he began to live holy and also started to pray for others. Miracles followed. Soon, Allen gave himself fully to the ministry, fasting, praying, and becoming a prominent Gospel minister. He is historically known today as the father of divine healing.
Allen lived to the age of 89, proving that when we honor God with our lives, He will honor us with His power, health, and long life.
At Calvary, Jesus bore 39 stripes across His back, representing every category of sickness and disease. Isaiah 53:5 declares, “By His stripes we are healed.”
To benefit from the sacrifice of Christ means to believe His Word above the voice of symptoms, pain, medical reports, or fear. By faith, we must refuse to accept sickness as our portion and continually claim our healing by the power in the Blood of Jesus. And when we finally see our desired miracles and victory, we should spread our testimonies to glorify God.
When Ethan Allen received his healing, he didn’t hide it—he dedicated his life to proclaiming the Healer. We honor God when we receive His healing with gratitude and then become vessels of His power to others. 1 Peter 4:10 reminds us to use whatever gifts we have to serve others “so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.”
Every testimony we share, every prayer we pray for the sick, and every act of service in His Name brings glory to God. And he responds to us with blessings of preservation, promotion, and abundance.
Today, receive your healing by faith, and then make a decision to share your testimony so that others lives can be impacted. When our lights so shine before men, our Father in Heaven is glorified, and our lives overflow with greater miracles, signs and wonders.
PRAYER: Lord, please enable me to focus on serving You in every way I can and be a blessing to humanity. As I do, I thank You for the speedy release of my own harvests of miracles in Jesus’ Name.
