The Online Program of KPPI (Praise and Divine Healing Service) was held on Tuesday, March 15, 2021. It was a live-streaming program that could be watched through Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. The Word of God was delivered by Rev. Jacob B Sumbayak, taken from Matthew 8:28-34 about Jesus healing two demon-possessed men.
Jesus Healed Two Demon-Possessed Men
The area of the Gergesenes that was visited by Jesus was outside of Israel. Two demon-possessed men who met Him were very dangerous so that people did not dare to walk past the place where these two men were. Their strength was very great, even the shackles or chains were broken, and they were naked. There was a great number of demons who possessed them. No one dared to fight or subdue these two men.
In this condition, they met Jesus. The Word of God says that they were afraid because they knew who Jesus was, and they called Jesus the Son of God. The demons who possessed these two men knew Jesus was God, so they were afraid because they knew that one day Jesus would come to torment them.
They were afraid that they would be thrown into the abyss for eternity. They knew that Jesus was able to punish them. They were trembling so much, afraid of being tortured by Jesus before the appointed time. So, thousands of demons who were terrified because they knew that Jesus was the Son of God asked Jesus that they would be transferred to the herd of pigs. If one pig was possessed by just one demon, then the number of demons possessing these two men was at least 2000 demons. (Mark 5:13). Jesus is so powerful that the demons are very afraid of Jesus. In the Name of Jesus, demons can be cast out.
Jesus is So Powerful, He Is Able to Deliver All the Bondage of the Power of Darkness
Maybe these times you have been afraid of the power of darkness, or you are bound by the power of darkness. Either it is an inheritance from your parents who made a pact with Satan, or you sold yourself to Satan, and now you are starting to get scared.
This is good news because, in the name of Jesus, you will be delivered from the power of darkness. All kinds of dark powers, witchcraft, black magic, will not work when we believe in Jesus. Today, if you believe that Jesus is Lord, the Son of God, the Savior, then you will be delivered from the bondage of the power of darkness. Take steps to believe, and the devil will come out of your life.
If you feel your sins are too many and heavy at the moment, so that you become frustrated and hopeless. You want to be freed from this sin and darkness, and from the shackles of this flesh, but you cannot get out from it. Today, if you believe in Jesus, believe that He is Lord and Savior, the Messiah, the forgiver of our sins, then you will receive deliverance from the bondage of sin.
Jesus is the Son of God, His love for us is perfect. He was willing to come to this world, become human, and was willing to die on the cross to atone for our sins. We are not able to atone for our sins or pay for our sins. Even our good deeds and righteousness are like dirty rags for God, so they cannot pay for our sins. (Isaiah 64: 6). Jesus paid for it, so it is not us who sacrificed for God but God who sacrificed for us.
John 3:16,” For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Come to Him. Believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior, then you will be freed from all the powers of darkness. The contract with the devil will be broken because Jesus already paid it for us.
Jesus Is Powerful to Save and Heal All Sicknesses
What can Jesus not heal? Whether he is a mental-illness man, a demon-possessed, a paralyzed, a sick man with cancer, even the dead can be raised because Jesus is the Son of God. Son of God means God who was willing to come down to earth to become a human being so that Jesus often called Himself the Son of Man. It means that God became human. How humble Jesus is, He was willing to be human like us, to save us.
Not only does Jesus bring us to eternal salvation, but He also wants to heal us. This has been done by Jesus since 2000 years ago, and His power continues until today. Just like in the past, He healed many people, calmed the storm, fed 5000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish. Jesus was able walk on water, He was also able to disappear miraculously. Jesus is still able to do all miracles. (Hebrews 13: 8)
Isaiah 53: 5, “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
The chastisement of our sins was carried upon Him, with a scourge that made his body striped, that we might be saved. And by His stripes, we are healed. Trust in Jesus and you will be healed. Lay your hands on the part of the body that is sick, believe that Jesus is able to heal you, then miracles will happen. [yf/hn/em]
