Biblical Foundations
Our work rests on “the Gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures, the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for the sake of his name.”(Romans 1:1b-5)
There is certainly no shortage of Scriptures, but here is an excerpt of words on which we can dwell and delight as we contemplate and receive the healing presence of Jesus by the Holy Spirit.
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him, (Acts 10:38 NKJV).
The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me, to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luke 4:17-20 NKJV – quoting Isaiah 61:1-2
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give
Matthew 10:8
