2 Corinthians 9:8 8And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
If you were in the same synagogue as the man with the withered hand (Luke
6:6–11), how would you see him and what do you think you would say to
him?
Jesus was preaching in that synagogue when He saw the man with the withered
hand. But He also saw superabounding grace around that hand for healing
and wholeness. He sees differently from us. He sees the invisible. He sees that
the kingdom of God is here, ever-present in any situation, with superabundant
supply. We see only the visible, which is tangible, temporal and which seems so
real to us.
But Jesus saw superabounding grace on that withered hand for healing because
you do not tell a man with a withered hand, “Stretch out your hand,” unless
you see the supply, the superabundance for wholeness for that hand. Jesus called
forth the superabounding grace to envelop that man’s withered hand, and the
hand was made whole.
It is possible for someone who is sick to have superabounding grace on him
and yet that superabundance of grace does not heal his body. That is because he
keeps acknowledging the lack or the problem he sees. He is more concerned with
that which is visible and temporal.
Instead of calling forth, and acknowledging and confessing the superabundance
of God’s grace, he confesses his negative circumstance all the time. So even
though the superabounding grace is there, it is there in vain. Isn’t that sad?
Jesus called forth life, and life sprang into visibility. We must call forth what
we want to see. Say, “Father, I thank You that right now, though my health is
under attack, there is superabounding grace available for my healing and health. I
call it forth and receive it now in Jesus’ name. Amen!”
My friend, don’t be conscious of what you see lacking or missing. Be conscious
of God’s superabounding grace for you and avail yourself of it!
