(The Healing Power In The Name Of Jesus)
TO THE BIBLE: Acts 3:16 AMPC
“And His name, through and by faith in His name, has made this man whom you see and recognize well and strong. [Yes] the faith which is through and by Him [Jesus] has given the man this perfect soundness [of body] before all of you.”
LET’S TALK
Throughout the gospels, you find various instances where people touched the hem of Jesus’ clothes and received instant healing.
An example is the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8. The Bible says she came from behind Jesus “…and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped” (Luke 8:44).
The word “border” in this verse is “kraspedon” in Greek, and it means “fringes” or “tassels.”
Also, in Matthew 14, when Jesus came to Gennesaret, the people of that region rushed to Him for healing, and the Bible says they “…begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well” (Matthew 14:36).
The Master didn’t have to do anything; all they needed was to touch the fringes of His garment, and they were healed.
But it’s even more glorious today! You don’t have to touch His garment; at the mention of His Name, every sickness bows. Cancers dematerialise, and maimed or paralysed limbs are made whole. His Name is the answer today!
In Mark 6:56 (TLB), the Bible says about Jesus: “Wherever he went—in villages and cities, and out on the farms—they laid the sick in the market plazas and streets, and begged him to let them at least touch the fringes of his clothes; and as many as touched him were healed.”
That same power is still available today in His Name. It’s amazing what we can do and have—the blessings and glory we can experience—when we use the Name of Jesus.
Think about what we just read in our opening verse. The Name of Jesus brings healing and health to you, it brings perfect soundness to your body.
No wonder He charged us to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and raise the dead (Matthew 10:8).
He said in Mark 16:17-18, “And these signs will follow those who believe… they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Glory to God!

Pray:
Father, I pray for your children who may be sick in their bodies that they rise from the bed of infirmity and bondage today and be healed in Jesus’ Name. Your life in them makes them whole; Christ in them brings them perfect soundness of mind and body. Hallelujah!
