True Worship

 “And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15‬:‭22‬, ‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus encountered there a Canaanite woman who shouted out to him, “Lord, Son of David, show mercy to me! My daughter is horribly afflicted by a demon that torments her.”  Canaan included the region of modern-day Lebanon and a Canaanite referred to a non-Jewish person living in that region.  It was in this very region that Queen Jezebel established Baal worship.  Because of the woman’s faith Jesus brings healing and into the true worship of God, blessed be His Holy Name.  Then Jesus answered her, “Dear woman, your faith is strong! What you desire will be done for you.” And at that very moment, her daughter was instantly set free from demonic torment.  Jesus has given His authority to His Church and in His Name we even today bring people healing and into the true worship of the living God.  Amen!
