Daily Bread - DEC/05/07
Luke 6:19 - And all the multitude sought to touch Him because power went out from Him and healed them all.
It is wonderful to realize that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8; Psalms 102:27; 2 Corinthians 11:4). The power of God that was manifested in Jesus Christ is available more today than when Jesus walked the earth 2,000 years ago (John 14:12; Acts 2:33; Mark 16:17; Isaiah 9:7). Today Jesus pours forth His power to heal and deliver through those who will receive.
Essential to the healing of these people was not the prayer of Jesus but the power that flowed through Him. In fact, there were many who did not even need Jesus to touch them; all they needed to do was to touch Him and they were healed (Matthew 14:36; Mark 6:56; Luke 8:44-47). When the power of Jesus flowed into a person whatever they needed was supplied by the life-giving flow of the Savior.
This same power of the Lord Jesus flows through His servants today. The life-giving flow that comes from the throne of God proceeds forth from us as rivers of living water (John 7:39; Revelation 22:1-2). These rivers of living water that flow out of us will make the lame to walk and the blind to see; it opens prison doors and sets the captives free. Jesus was not here for just a moment in time to bring the life and power of God to a needy humanity but He lives forevermore. If we will find our place in the realms of the heavenly then the power of Jesus will find a free course through our lives to touch all of humanity (Ephesians 2:6; 1:19- 20' Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 1:23; Colossians 3:2- 3; John 12:26).
Be blessed,

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
