DIVINE HEALING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT*

THE POWER OF HEALING IN JESUS.

THE mighty power by which Jesus did all his works in his earthly life and ministry, healing the sick and casting out devils, was by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. Without this power he of himself could have done nothing in his great work of redemption. The Word of God gives us abundant light upon this subject. It teaches us the utter dependence upon God for all power to accomplish his holy will and work. **And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water; and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit, of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him."—Matt. 3:16. "And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee; and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about."—Luke 4:1, 14. '*And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with

divers diseases and torments, and those which were posessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy: and he healed them."— Matt. 4:23, 24. "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."—Luke 4:16-19, 21. *'But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is. come unto you."—Matt. 12:28. ''The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) that word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judea> and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the Devil j for God was with him."—Acts 10:35-38.

It was the Holy Spirit, the God-life that was in Jesus. This is why his work of healing is called divine

healing.
