Big Healing Book - Luke 4:38-39

Luke 4:38-39:

And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

Notes on Luke 4:38-39:

Matthew mentioned that Jesus touched her hand; Luke did not mention this. However, Luke mentions that Jesus rebuked the fever, which Matthew did not mention. The word used for rebuked is exactly what it sounds like; it is the same Greek word used when Jesus rebuked demons and rebuked the wind. In other words, Jesus did not speak some nice-sounding little words to that fever. He rebuked it in the same way that He would have rebuked a demon.

People today might think you’re crazy when you rebuke a disease the way Jesus did. They will wonder how are those disease organisms are supposed to hear you when they don’t have ears. But when the disease leaves after you rebuke it in the name of Jesus, you won’t look so crazy after all. Given that we have this authority in Christ, we’d be crazy not to use it!
