Today's Good News

05/09          Luke 4:18

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.”

  1. Healing is part of Christ’s mission to restore lives.
  2. Spiritual, physical, and emotional healing is included in His work.
  3. Healing is a manifestation of God’s Kingdom on earth.
  4. Jesus brings freedom from all forms of bondage.
  5. The anointing of the Holy Spirit empowers healing ministry.

FREEDOM

 
The Spirit of the Lord was upon Him,
Moving in power and grace,
To bring freedom to the captive,
To bring sight to the blind,
To bind up the brokenhearted.

 
He stood and read the ancient scroll,
Declaring what was fulfilled,
That healing had come to the world,
That darkness would not prevail,
That the oppressed would be free.

 
Not just for one, but for all,
The kingdom had arrived,
The lost would hear the good news,
The weary would find rest,
And the hopeless would rejoice.

 
Even now, the Spirit moves,
Even now, freedom comes,
For Jesus has not changed,
And those who call on His name,
Will know the power of His love.
