TEXT: JOHN 4:46-49
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
MEMORY VERSE: “When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death” (JOHN 4:47).
MESSAGE:
There are many around us who are helpless and living with different sicknesses. During Jesus’ earthly ministry, many of such folks usually gathered wherever He preached or passed through for them to receive His touch of healing. In line with their expectations, He always demonstrated His compassion, care and power by healing all of them.

Apart from physical infirmities, there are many who are spiritually sick because of their sins. Such people need spiritual healing from the Saviour.
Jesus died for our sins, and by so doing, took our sins and infirmities away; and bore our diseases. He is the same yesterday, today and forever, He will likewise heal all the physically and spiritually sick today. Do you desire His touch of healing for yourself, a family member or your friends? A prayer of faith, if you are born again, will heal you.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
