Luke 8:48 ‘And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace’

DAILY READING; 2 Peter 2; Jeremiah 43-44; Psalm 140

In 1990, Pastor Duane Miller was serving as the senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Brenham, Texas, when he contracted a flu virus that penetrated the mylan sheath of his vocal chords and damaged the nerve tissue beyond repair.

He sought out the best medical care in hope of healing. And in the following months, he was seen by over 63 specialists and their teams, totaling about 200 doctors. Yet despite all the diagnosis and treatment, there was no solution.

Given his inability to speak clearly, he had to resign from his post as the senior pastor. But though it looked like his preaching career was over, God was not yet done with him. Soon after, Pastor Miller and his wife moved to Houston where they began attending Houston’s First Baptist Church. One year later he was asked by the Church leaders to teach an adult Sunday school class. Though it looked like he would make a fool of himself, because of his inability to speak coherently, yet he decided to step out in faith.

That Sunday morning, as he stood to teach the class of over 150 people, he experienced intense feelings of conflict and doubt. But as went ahead to speak, talking about the healings of Jesus, suddenly he felt the pressure that had been in his throat for three years suddenly disappear. It was as if a hand that had been choking him was suddenly lifted.  Amazingly he found himself speaking very coherently.

When he visited his doctors afterwards, they confirmed that his voice had indeed been totally restored. The doctors even said they couldn’t find any evidence that he ever had a voice problem. Pastor Miller has written a book, detailing his amazing story of supernatural healing and he continues to reach millions of people through his online ministry page aptly titled ‘Nuvoice’.

Luke 8:48 says ‘And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace’

The truth is that, it is never over, until God says so. No matter what any medical report or financial situation may look like, Jehovah alone always has the final say.  Even when the experts give up, Jehovah never gives up.

In Luke 8, the doctors gave up on the case of the woman with the issue of blood. She had spent all her money on doctors and yet she was not cured, but when she came to Jesus, her closed case was reopened and she immediately got her miracle. Her faith triggered the flow of virtue that ended her shame and reproach.

Indeed when we exercise faith, power is released for our healing and deliverance. The truth is that there is no impossible case with God. This is why we must never give up, no matter how long our miracle seems to linger.

Everyone, even the most gifted and strongest of men, face challenges. However, no matter how tough the situation, we must always remember that we have God on our side. Whatever may be your situation, Jesus, who remains the same yesterday, today and forever, is always available to address that matter and give you an instant miracle. He is the greatest physician and He has a cure-all medication called the balm of Gilead. All medical conditions are curable by this balm. Everything that needs healing in our lives, including even our finances can be cured by this balm. But just like that woman with the issue of blood, we need to come to Jesus in His Word, and touch Him to draw the healing virtue that we need.

The Word of God is the real influencer and game changer in a man’s life. Focus on God’s Word is what brings divine healing, health, prosperity, favor and many other blessings into our lives.  From the living Word of God we draw the living force of faith that gives us the miracles we need.

Through faith, you can overcome every obstacle, you can climb over every mountain, and you can get out of every valley. Always remember, God is watching over you to fulfill His Word.  And through the exercise of faith, you can overcome the world and all of its challenges.  Indeed through Christ, you can do all things.

PRAYER Lord I thank You because You are able to handle whatever comes my way today. Please grant me fresh appetite for Your Word so that I can draw the faith and strength I need to always overcome every challenge that comes my way in Jesus Name.
