Luke 4:18-19

Many times, we think of Jesus being anointed to destroy yokes of bondage from people, and that is part of the truth. The part we sometimes miss is the fact that he was anointed to preach deliverance, preach the gospel to the poor, preach recovering of sight to the blind and preach the acceptable year of the Lord. In other words, he was not just anointed to give the blind their sight -- he was anointed to preach recovery of sight to the blind, which is a completely different matter. He was anointed to preach to men what they could have in God's kingdom so that they could believe it for themselves.

Many times we major on the "power" at work in a healing minister's meetings, but God has also anointed men to preach healing -- the universal availability of it. There is an anointing to do this, and every minister should endeavor to flow in the anointing rather than just preaching out of his head.


As mentioned elsewhere, some people will not get healed because they want the bondages to be broken off of them by the anointing. They fail to realize that there is an anointing on the message itself that could get them free if they would give ear to it.

Let's expect the Holy Ghost's help not only in doing miracles but also in proclaiming the truth boldly so that men will understand it, believe it, act on it, and get healed. If men get healed through the gifts at work in you, they will be healed only when you're around. When they hear and believe the gospel of their deliverance that you preach to them, they will be able to get healed when you're not around.
