LUKE 13:16—And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bound on the Sabbath day?
Dear friends’ greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus who performs miracles in our lives. We always look for miracles to be done. Sometimes we enjoy miracles in the hand of God, but sometimes, we never receive any miracles in our lives. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is the God of miracle and he is performing miracles even today, those who believe on him. He is ready to perform miracles in our lives to make us the daughter of Abraham and the son of Abraham. Are we ready to have a transformation in our lives to receive a miracle? If so, let us look for a miracle today.
Let us mediate verses from Luke 13:11to17.She was a Jewish woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. She came to the temple [house of God] for 18 years in her life. But she did not know the reason of her infirmities, or about her sickness, or how to get rid of her infirmities. Even the ruler of the synagogue did not know the reason of her sickness and infirmities. Only Jesus knew the reason for her sickness and infirmities. Jesus found her in the synagogue. She was bounded eighteen years by a disabling spirit and she had disability. Our Lord Jesus knows our situations, environments of our sicknesses, wants and needs. So when Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “woman, you are freed from your disability. And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. Jesus found out reason for her disability and he revealed and said that was Satan’ bound.
What transformation happened in this Jewish woman’ life after healing? 1. In her infirmities and Satanic bound she was not identified or recognized by the people as a respected lady. She might have been identified or recognized by the people as bent over lady. She might have been gone through the experience of shame and ridicules. This was happened for not one or two years but it was continued for 18 years. Today you may be gone through this kind of experience of shame and ridicules. Don’t worry, Jesus is present in our shame, sickness, disabilities, wants and needs to deliver from them. When she was healed, Jesus revealed her identity as “Daughter of Abraham” which she was lost. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but ‘to serve, and ‘to give his life as a ransom for many”. She became a daughter of Abraham. She became a daughter of God. Let us praise Jesus, who has given the identity as we are the children of God and children of Abraham.
2. She was delivered from the Satanic bound, who bound her with disabilities, sickness, and bent over. Today many people are bound by the satanic power and need to be delivered from the clutches of him. But they did not know the causes of their infirmities and disabilities. Today Jesus ready to deliver from the bondage of Satan. She was bounded for 18 years by Satan. But God delivered her immediately. Let us come to Jesus; he will deliver us from all infirmities, sickness, and disabilities immediately.
3. When she was bound by the Satan, she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. That was her condition. But Jesus delivered her from disabilities and bondage of Satan. Jesus delivered her from bent over and could not fully straighten. When Jesus sees our disabilities and weakness, he will give us whole health and whole deliverance. Let us come to him and then Jesus will give us whole health and whole deliverance.
4. When Jesus healed her, immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. Before her healing she was a useless vessel. She was not straight to look and be useful vessel. But after healing she was made straight and glorified God. She was made as useful vessel to glorify God. May be you are also a useless vessel in the eyes of the people who always ridicule our disabilities, weakness, and sickness. Today Jesus wants us to be a useful vessel for God to glorify him. Let us come to him to be a useful vessel.
Today we may not be seen straighten in our bodies, in our financial status, and even in our society. If Jesus meets us and put his hands on us, immediately we will be whole and straighten. And he will make us Sons of Abraham and Daughters of Abraham. Give thanks to the Lord of Lords, to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever.[Ps136:4].
