Free on the Sabbath

S - But Jesus shot back, "You frauds! Each Sabbath every one of you regularly unties your cow or donkey from its stall, leads it out for water, and thinks nothing of it. So why isn't it all right for me to untie this daughter of Abraham and lead her from the stall where Satan has had her tied these eighteen years?" When he put it that way, his critics were left looking quite silly and redfaced. The congregation was delighted and cheered him on. Luke 13:15-17

O ~ Again Jesus keeps the Sabbath by doing good. The Sabbath is a day for healing - wholeness - loosing.

A ~ Bringing Spirit-Life Healing is not a violation of the Sabbath - it is the purpose of the Sabbath. Keeping it holy is keeping people whole. It needs to be life giving to others, as well as to me. It should not be veiwed as work, nor should it be work - simply being a vessel that His Spirit can use in power. But that is the key - it is not an exertion of my power (work), but a release of His power (grace).

P ~ Father, help me to rely on You on the Sabbath - and be a instrument of healing, seeing people loosed from the grip of the enemy and everything of his dominion.
