Morning Prayer: Thursday, 15 June – Acts 5:12-16 ~ power healing

Morning Prayer

+ In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Opening Prayer

Gracious God, give me a humble, teachable, and obedient heart, that I may receive what you have revealed, and do what you have commanded. Through Jesus Christ my Lord – Amen.

Reading: Acts 5:12-16 (NLT)

The apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon’s Colonnade. But no one else dared to join them, even though all the people had high regard for them. Yet more and more people believed and were brought to the Lord—crowds of both men and women. As a result of the apostles’ work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter’s shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. Crowds came from the villages around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those possessed by evil spirits, and they were all healed.

Reflection and Prayer:

Come Holy Spirit – Fill me with your presence and give me confidence in the powerful name of Jesus, that I may follow in the footsteps of the apostles, showing and telling others of the mighty works of God.

+ Create in me an urgency to tell my children and grandchildren the lessons I have learned about the Lord’s power and mighty wonders.
+ Manifest your presence and power in my life that my children and grandchildren might see as well as hear of your wonder-working power.
+ Fill them with transformative faith that they may teach these wonderful truths even to children not yet born – and they in turn will teach their own children.

Lord Jesus: make me a doer of your word that my children and grandchildren may see and believe that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God, remembering your glorious miracles, obeying your commands, and giving their hearts unreservedly to God.

Soli Deo gloria!

Morning Reading: Luke 8:40-56 ESV – power healing

Reading: Luke 8:40-56 ESV

Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. And there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler of the synagogue. And falling at Jesus’ feet, he implored him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying.

woman issue of bloodAs Jesus went, the people pressed around him. And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone. She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?”

When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.”  And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble the Teacher any more.” But Jesus on hearing this answered him, “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.”

And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and John and James, and the father and mother of the child. And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said, “Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.”  And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. But taking her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.”  And her spirit returned, and she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to eat. And her parents were amazed, but he charged them to tell no one what had happened.

Prayer: Lord Jesus – Give me the faith to believe that all things are possible with you. Only say the Word… and I shall be healed. And Lord – Give me the grace to accept your will – whatever it is… in me, around me, and through me. Amen.
