“He who did not spare his own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also give us all things with Him?”
Romans 8:32 (RSV)
The supremacy of God is revealed more at the cross than in the creation of the world. Everything we believe is unthinkable without the cross. It is the blood of Jesus that gives us confidence to come to God with assurance of faith. The all conquering power of God’s love will overcome every obstacle that threatens to separate us from Him. That power manifested itself fully when His own Son was delivered up to death for us. How can we not believe that God, who gave His son for us, would not also give us many other things as well? I thought of this when I was super congested, sneezing and coughing for the first few days after a positive Covid test. I decided I wasn’t going to accept this strain of Covid to just run its full course, but was going to pray for healing in Jesus’ name. I laid my hand on my own chest and thanked Jesus for the healing, which comes through His cross. I decided to unleash the power that is in His precious blood. Later that afternoon I noticed I wasn’t sneezing as often. I also wasn’t coughing as much. By evening I wasn’t as congested as earlier in the day. The way I felt at night was 70% better compared to how I felt in the morning. I was clearly turned the corner in that bout of illness and I believe it was due to the effect of the blood of Jesus. I thanked all those who have sent up prayers for me, and it was those prayers that inspired me to unleash the fulness of His power. I know that God wants to give us above and beyond what we think or ask, and it’s up to us to believe Him for it and unleash the power of His cross. I turned the corner not only of my illness, but of my faith that day. The truth which inspired me is expressed in this scripture, “How will He not also graciously give us all things?” Turning the corner of our faith is to trust God for “all things” that He has graciously given us through His cross. Today, let us unleash the power in the blood of Jesus for all things, not only to save, but to heal, renew, restore and give us perfect peace in any affliction. Amen
