Just Do It Kenneth Copeland And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. – Luke 13:14 Religion is dangerous. Religion would rather debate about healing than see somebody healed. Religion would rather argue about deliverance than see somebody set free. You can see an example of that in Luke 13. Jesus healed a woman who had been bowed over for 18 years. Think of it, a dear old woman--a daughter of Abraham Jesus called her--set free after being bound by the devil for nearly two decades. Youd think the temple rulers would have been rejoicing at what Jesus had done. But, no! They were angry because Hed done it on the wrong day. Do you know whats worse? Those very same religious leaders who criticized Jesus for healing on the Sabbath could have ministered healing to that woman themselves on any of the other six days of the week if theyd cared enough to do it. Thats why Jesus was so indignant with them. They had the same covenant of Abraham as Jesus. But their religion had kept that woman bound instead of setting her free. It always does. Remember that next time someone tries to get you sidetracked into a religious debate about healing or deliverance. If someone needs to be delivered from a demon, just do it! Dont get all hung up on theological questions about where the demon is. Is it in his body? Or his brain? Or his spirit? Or his pocket? While youre arguing about questions like that, the demon will be driving the poor guy up the wall. The question isnt, Where is the demon? The question is, Why havent we gotten this man delivered? Hes our blood brother in the Name of Jesus and he ought to be free! Once you start asking that question, you wont care whether that demon is inside or outside, hovering over or sitting under. All youll care about is getting that person free! Thats the difference between religion and the love of God. Religion argues. Love acts. Choose love today. Scripture Reading: Luke 13:11-17
