| And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. |
| Luke 13:11–13 |
One of my favorite stories in the
Gospels is of Jesus healing a woman bowed over with a spirit of
infirmity for 18 years. Imagine never being able to see the sky or
rainbows, but only the dust of the earth and the grubby feet of
people—what a painful existence she lived!
I love how Jesus saw her and
immediately called her over to receive a miracle from Him. The woman had
been bound in this condition for 18 years, a number which represents
bondage in the Bible. When Jesus said to her, “Woman, you are loosed
from your infirmity,” He was proclaiming liberty over her and setting
her free from the bondage of the devil. He laid hands on her and she
immediately received her healing.
Today, you have already been set
free from the curse of sickness by Jesus’ one perfect sacrifice at the
cross. Believe it and proclaim your liberty won by His finished work
