I WILL COME AND HEAL HIM

PROMISE | MARCH 2025

Mathew 8:7  And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him

 

Dearly beloved in Christ,

 

Loving greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

 

In the Gospel account of Mathew, in the narrative of Centurion who pleads to Lord Jesus for the deliverance of his servant suffering from palsy, we find an insightful attribute of our Lord. Yes. Although this incident teaches to us a lesson in faith, according to me, there is another very prophetic side to this whole story and that is the cue for this month’s promise of God’s Shadow Ministries.  In this story Jesus, without hesitating or even delaying, responds to the Centurion’s request by saying, “I will come” and then goes on to appreciate  his faith before the crowd,  when he said it is enough if He sends his word. Notably, this man was not a Jew. Lord Jesus, who once declared that he came only for Jews and once even discouraged the Canaanite woman from approaching him seems to be responding in a different way here?

 

Well, I do not know what made him to say “yes” to Centurion’s request, but I do prophetically believe that if he could be so quickly answer the prayer of a non-Jew or perhaps a non-christian, how much more swiftly and readily will he help his own children, his own flock, his own disciples!  The Bible says you and I have become sons and daughters of God through our faith in Lord Jesus Christ!

 

For the month of March 25, just as he told that Centurion, I believe that our Lord would truly command his presence in the homes of his children who would call out to Him in their misery, in their suffering and in their difficulties!  He did not just hear and give some reply, he told the Centurion,      I WILL COME! Hallelujah!  Beloved people of God, the prophetic-promise that I would like to share is that the Lord who has already heard our petition promises to come and provide the solution!   Amen!   

 

Even as you are reading this, your mind is occupied with cares, worries, pressures and problems that you are presently facing as an individual, as a family.  It could be a sickness, a conflict, a debt or even the wayward life of your children.  Your heart is overwhelmed with the pain of someone in your family and in your neighborhood.  I would like to prophetically declare that the Lord has heard your petition and promises to ‘COME AND DEAL” with the same! Amen!

 

The words, “I will come” speak of his intent to act immediately and affirmatively with regard to your prayer request.  Even today, the Lord is desirous to extend the same to all those who have been praying and waiting upon him. Hallelujah!

  

The centurion coming to meet Lord Jesus Christ speaks of SEEKING LORD’S PRESENCE in our hour of distress.

 

The centurion’s proposition to just send a word than coming in person, speaks of his faith in the WORD OF GOD.

 

The centurion’s faith brought about a great release of GOD’s HEALING POWER in his house, the place where his servant was. Amen

 

The moment the Centurion shared his problem, the Lord’s response was to come and solve the same.   The Bible says, “All things are possible with God”. Yes!  It is not just about physical healing, whatever be the issue that you are facing right now, as a child of God, our Lord is able to come and provide a relief.  Our Lord performed ever so many miracles in the life of multitudes that come to him for deliverance and healing. However, for our meditation, we shall take a closer look at three events that took place in the ministry of Jesus.   These events paint to us a prophetic picture of what the Lord want to do in our lives. They also convey that our Lord is not far, but very close to our prayers, to cause his deliverance and healing in our lives.   Amen! 

Let us look at them, one by one.

 

1. Deficit in the Wedding (John 2)

Joh 2:2 and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 

 A familiar incident, to begin with. It is about Lord Jesus turning the water into wine. Without going too much into the details, I would only like to highlight the significance of a miracle such as this in a family, especially in a wedding.   The shortage of wine would have caused a great chaos and perplexity in the minds of the wedding party, because wine is the key item of the banquet and not providing it would cause a heavy backlash to the wedding party before the invitees and the society.  When the family was clueless, Mother Mary took the matter to Jesus. And Jesus performed the miracle of turning the ‘water into wine’.  Jesus entered into that wedding scene and silenced the confusion.    Prophetically, even in your life, if you are going through a phase of utter confusion and chaos on how to handle few things, be it in office or at home, or how to handle the finances required for your children’s education or even a wedding which has already been planned.  Your resources have run dry and it appears as if nothing or none can help you in this crisis.   You cry out in desperation to God, just as Mary that day informed Jesus.  Lord Jesus who already knows what you need, will come into your life to remove every lack and deficit. The one who responded to the call of a Centurion will surely hear the cry of his own child! Amen!  The Lord will come and put an end to your confusion. Hallelujah!

 

2. Danger in the Journey (Mathew 14)

 Mat 14:32 and when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 

 Once Jesus put his disciples on a boat and constrained them to sail to the other shore before him.  On his part, Jesus went up into a mountain apart to pray.   The disciples who were sent by Jesus faced troubled waters (in real sense) when the boat in which they going began to be tossed with waves as the wind had turned contrary.  Perplexed and troubled, the disciples did not know what to do.  It was during that hour of crisis that Jesus appeared before them as one walking on the water!  The disciples, who could not believe this sight, were terrified over his appearance and even felt that it could be some spirit.  Jesus said, “Be of good cheer. It is I, be not afraid”.  And in time, he joined them in the said boat and made the sea calm.   Here, in this incident, it was Jesus who set them on sail and in the middle of the journey when the disciples were caught in a worst storm, they could not but cry and wail in terror and uncertainty.  I am sure, for a while they all would have thought that their story is going to end under the depths of the sea.   Knowing that Jesus had no other boat to come up to them, they would have thought that even he cannot rescue them now.  But in an unexpected way Jesus came on the water, came into their boat and made things calm.  Even in your life, in your marriage journey, career or even a ministry, having begun well with the assurance of God’s will, you are now stuck in a great crisis!  When in the middle of the sea, you can neither go backward nor move forward. Perhaps, a storm of misunderstanding, conflict or some work of the evil has gotten you stuck in the middle!  You may either feel like dying or may even contemplate suicide.  Having lost all hopes, you may have even stopped praying.  But, just as Jesus came walking on the water to rescue the disciples from the storm and lead them safely to the shore, even in your situation, in your family, in your business, in your ministry, he would step into provide peace, purpose and will commute you till the end! Amen! The Lord will come and calm the storm to end your cry of desperation. Hallelujah!

 

3. Death in the Family (John 11)

 Joh 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 

 In the town of Bethany, near Jerusalem, there lived a family which was very close to Jesus.  Two sisters viz., Martha and Mary and their only brother Lazarus often hosted Jesus.  Jesus loved this family very much. Once, when Jesus was away from Bethany on ministerial visits, he receives a word from the messengers that Lazarus is sick unto death.  The family’s expected that Jesus would immediately come and heal him.  But against all expectations, Jesus did not turn up and Lazarus succumbed to his sickness.  Four days after the death and burial of Lazarus, Jesus came to meet to the house of this bereaved family.  Obviously, the scene was full of sorrow and grief and the sisters of Lazarus expressed that if only Jesus had come early, their brother would not have died. But Jesus was repeatedly telling them that he shall make him come to life again.  The sisters, were of the belief that their brother would rise up in the last day, but not now.  But Jesus was to perform an extraordinary miracle of bringing a dead man back to life on the very same day. 

 

The Bible mentions that when Jesus came near the sepulcher not only the sisters, but even the people standing around were weeping and groaning. Jesus himself was troubled in spirit over the loss and grief surrounding that family.   But the grief did not last long as Jesus called Lazarus out from the sepulcher alive!  It was truly an outstanding miracle which turned the environment from one of sorrow to celebration!

 

Perhaps, even in your life, you may be going through a period of extreme sorrow or grief over a loss of life, loss of a job, and loss of money or even lost opportunities.  You are weeping endlessly and no amount of consolation would comfort your soul.   Just as the sisters grieved for four days, you may be grieving for 4 months or even 4 years.   But on that fourth day, Lord Jesus came and wiped away all their tears. Hallelujah!  Sepulcher or tombstone speaks of end of life, end of hope and perhaps end of everything.  Maybe you are standing and weeping at the point where you feel there is no longer any hope in your life. But Jesus, since he loved them much, came and brought life into a lifeless situation! Even in your life the Lord would come and put an end to all your tears. Amen!

 

Keys to your Miracle:

Even though the Lord has promised to come into your situation and command his healing and deliverance, when we carefully look at the above visitations, we come across three salient causes which made Jesus come into their situation to command his blessing. Let us look at them briefly.

1.Inviting Jesus

Jesus and the disciples were invited to the wedding. Have you invited or accepted Jesus as your personal savior in your life?  Make Jesus a part of your life.

2.Including Jesus

Jesus stepped into the boat of the disciples.  Yes, they included Jesus in their journey.  Jesus did not perform his miracle standing on the sea, but he stepped into the boat and he even accompanied them in their journey.  How often do you involve or include Jesus in your life journey?  In the decisions that you take, in the agreements that you enter, in the travels that you plan, have you asked Jesus to come along with you?. Let the presence come with you wherever you go and whatever you do.

 3. Informing Jesus

The sisters of Lazarus sent word to Jesus.  Mary informed Jesus about the shortage of wine.  This speaks about our prayer life.  Paul writes that we ought not to worry about anything but with thanks –giving make our requests known to God.  Yes, a constant communication with the Lord is the hallmark of a successful Christian life. More than sharing with men keep talking; keep communicating to Jesus about everything that takes place in your place. 

 

The promise of God for you is sure and certain.  He says, “I will come and heal him”.  Received this word in faith and you shall see the glory of God!  He will surely make his presence felt during this month in the midst of your challenges, conflicts and confusions and cause you to praise and glorify his holy name! Amen.

 

May the Lord God bless you and the members of your family and make this March month a miraculous month!

 

In Christ, with love and prayers
