What’s the good in knowing what God is capable of?

What good is Jesus’ promise to us that, If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it, if it does not apply to its complimentary promise, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do?

What good, to encounter broken, sick, afflicted, and tormented people and be unable in Jesus’ name to set them free, to make them whole?

The solution to an urgent need that is endlessly deferred, is no solution at all.

You need no forgiveness in Heaven. You need it now.
You need no healing in Heaven. You need it now.
You need no deliverance in Heaven. You need it now.

Have we not heard somewhere, behold, NOW is the day of salvation? 2 Cor 6:2b

Does it not sound ridiculous to hear King David celebrate the benefits God gives - who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases - under a lesser covenant, while we in the better covenant persist in our uncertainty about the matter? That we, directly commissioned by Jesus to heal the sick and release captives, insist that we have little or nothing to do with it?

Yeah, the demons know what Jesus is capable of, and they tremble. However, when watching men who merely know what Jesus can and would do, yet stop short of actually doing it, they tremble not . . . neither are they afraid.

Wear me O Lord as your garment
that You might go detected in the earth,
uncovered, on full display.
That your mercy, Your love,
power and great goodness
appear in broad array.
Through me, and all Your saints,
witness to Your mighty Name,
present Yourself in every way.
