The Ministry of Healing
“All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations.” “Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature.”
Matthew 28:18, 19
;
Mark
16:15
.
[107]
And for us also is the promise of His presence, “Lo, I am with
you alway, even unto the end of the world.”
Matthew 28:20
.
Today no curious multitudes flock to the desert places to see
and hear the Christ. His voice is not heard in the busy streets. No
cry sounds from the wayside, “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”
Luke
18:37
. Yet this word is true today. Christ walks unseen through our
streets. With messages of mercy He comes to our homes. With all
who are seeking to minister in His name, He waits to co-operate. He
is in the midst of us, to heal and to bless, if we will receive Him.
“Thus saith Jehovah, In an acceptable time have I answered thee,
and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee,
and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to
make them inherit the desolate heritages; saying to them that are
bound, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves.”
“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that
bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace;
That bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation;
That saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!”
Isaiah 49:8, 9, A.R.V.; 52:7.
“Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places:...
For the Lord hath comforted His people....
The Lord hath made bare His holy arm
In the eyes of all the nations;
And all the ends of the earth
Shall see the salvation of our God.”
Verses 9, 10.
