healing in the kingdom

John Wimber writes on Jesus' perspective on healing.
Jesus was motivated to heal people not only because of His love for them, but also because of His hatred of the forces that bound them.

Jesus healed because He was opposed to anything which bound or enslaved men. He recognized that the forces of darkness were in some way connected with the man's physical infirmities, and in opposing these infirmities, He was in essence showing His opposition to Satan and his kingdom.

Then Jesus said ... And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.

Cool quote and thoughts...

I think many miss that when we do love others in that action judgment and wrath fall on the kingdom of darkness. That is why is states we "overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death."

blessings,
