“And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.”
Luke 8:55-56 KJV
Instantly her spirit returned to her body and she stood up. Jesus directed her stunned parents to give her something to eat and ordered them to tell no one what just happened. In this chapter alone are Jesus’s four great miracles. The first is over nature, for He stilled the wind and the waves. The second is over demons, for He cast out a legion of evil spirits. The third is over disease, for He healed a haemorrhaging woman. Lastly, over death, for He restored the life of this twelve year old girl. Through Jesus’s death and resurrection, all have received the power of a forgiven and righteous life; the power to be delivered of demonic strongholds; the power of being healed from disease; and the power of the resurrection life within us. By faith in this God-given power, we can move mountains, please and delight our God, and be overcomers through this victory that is given to us. Amen!
