Psalm 107:20 ‘He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions’
.
DAILY READING;1 John 2; 2 Chronicles 35; Psalm 89:38-52
Fred Francis Bosworth was a Pentecostal pioneer, famous healing evangelist, musician and author who took the United States and Canada by storm in the 1920s and 1930s.
He reportedly led over a million people to Christ, and was considered by scholars and ministers alike to be one of the most successful healing evangelists of his era.
His writings on divine healing influenced many Church leaders of his day, as well many who claim healing ministries today.
However, years earlier while he was a youth, F.F Bosworth almost died due to his lack of knowledge of the healing power in God’s Word.
Fred Bosworth was brought up by wonderful parents on a farm. By the age of sixteen, he was restless with life and struck out to be a salesman.
He soon became a jack of all trades and worked hard at trying to make his fortune as a traveling salesman.
But one day while he was working at one of his many “trades” Bosworth caught a severe cold that later developed into serious lung problems. His cough grew worse, and he lived in this condition for eight years. Finally, doctors told Bosworth that his was a hopeless case, and he would not recover. After receiving this report, he decided to visit home and see his parents once more before he died. However, the Lord had other plans. On the way, he wandered into a Methodist church where a meeting was being held. In this Church, a lady told Bosworth that he did not have to die. She told him it was God’s will to heal him. She prayed for him and God’s power healed him. This experience revolutionized Bosworth’s life. It set him on the path of the great ministry God used him to accomplish as a frontier evangelist, a pioneer Christian radio broadcaster and one of the most successful healing evangelists of the 1920s.
Hosea 4:6 says ‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:’
It is indeed God’s plan to wipe away tears and bring healing and deliverance to His people. However people are being destroyed because they simply lack the knowledge of what God has made available in His Word. Many are perishing due to lack of knowledge of what the power of God can do.
Today, people are victims of afflictions because they don’t realize that divine provisions of healing, deliverance, prosperity, protection, grace and favor can be real in their lives.
The way out of every closed door is the key of Knowledge. It takes knowledge of the truth to be set free to enjoy the blessings of redemption.
And knowledge comes through in-depth study of God’s Word. It is as we continue in the Word, that we encounter the truth that makes us free. [John 8:32]
Spiritual ignorance can be likened to darkness, which is only destroyed by the light of God’s Word. Our source of light is the entrance of God’s Word into our hearts. .
God wants us to have knowledge and understanding of His Word so as to experience deliverance from all afflictions of the enemy.
Psalm 125:3 says ‘For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of righteous.’
It is God’s will that every form of the rod of the wicked be destroyed from our lives. However, knowledge of the Word is the key to our deliverance. One discovered truth from God’s Word can change your life forever. This is why we must diligently renew our mind through in-depth study of the Word. We truly have to become lifelong students of the Bible and addict to God’s Word so as to enjoy continual victory over life’s afflictions.
Through understanding of God’s Word we will enjoy multiplied grace and divine favor which will cause us to be outstanding in all our endeavors.
PRAYER: Father please help me to always walk in the light of Your Word, so that I can continually have dominion over all afflictions. By Your grace I shall always live victorious and triumphant in Jesus Name.
