He Healed Them All // Pt.1 // Pastor Gary // 9-20-26

Devotional

Day 1: The Multitude’s Healing and Your Place in “All”

Jesus didn’t sort through the crowds to find the “worthy” or the “easy cases.” When multitudes followed Him, He healed every person—no exceptions. Physical healing isn’t a reward for perfect faith but a promise rooted in His unchanging character. Sickness entered the world through sin, but Christ’s death and resurrection broke its power. The same hands that touched the blind and lame are still active today, dismantling disease. Your story isn’t an outlier to His pattern. Stand in the “all.” [47:09]

“But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.”
(Matthew 12:15, NKJV)

Reflection: Where have you hesitated to believe your situation fits into Jesus’ “all”? How might aligning your perspective with His promise shift your expectancy?

Day 2: The Anointing That Shatters Yokes

Burden isn’t God’s language for your life. Isaiah 10:27 reveals that the anointing doesn’t just ease the load—it obliterates the yoke. Like a farmer snapping a wooden harness, God’s power breaks what binds you. The preacher testified of arthritis vanishing under this truth. Sickness is a yoke, not a cross to bear. The anointing isn’t a feeling but a force that crushes every chain. Your part? Agree with the breaker, not the burden. [01:02:37]

“It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.”
(Isaiah 10:27, NKJV)

Reflection: What yoke have you tolerated as “normal” that God is urging you to confront? How can you actively agree with the anointing’s destructive power today?

Day 3: Unchanging Healer in Shifting Circumstances

Hebrews 13:8 isn’t a placard for church walls—it’s a lifeline. Jesus’ healing power isn’t confined to the past; His present-tense sameness means your body matters to Him now. The preacher challenged, “If He ever did it, He wants to do it today.” Seasons change, diagnoses shift, but Christ’s nature doesn’t. Your current struggle isn’t proof of His indifference but an invitation to His consistency. [55:12]

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
(Hebrews 13:8, NKJV)

Reflection: Where have you accepted a “seasonal” view of God’s power that limits His intervention? How does His unchanging nature redefine what’s possible for you?

Day 4: The Anointing’s Target—Destroying the Devil’s Work

First John 3:8 leaves no ambiguity: Jesus showed up to dismantle the enemy’s schemes. Every sickness is a “work of the devil,” not a divine lesson. The preacher rebuked religious excuses, insisting disease isn’t God’s tool. Healing isn’t about earning favor but enforcing Christ’s victory. Your body isn’t a battleground for spiritual lessons but a territory for liberation. [01:24:38]

“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”
(1 John 3:8, NKJV)

Reflection: What sickness have you rationalized as “God’s will” that He actually desires to destroy? How does this shift your approach to prayer and declaration?

Day 5: Eyes on the Pole, Not the Serpent

Numbers 21:8-9 isn’t about snakes but focus. Israel’s healing came when they looked away from their wounds to the bronze symbol of Christ’s future work. The preacher warned, “Facts are real, but they’re not the truth.” Your diagnosis is a fact; God’s Word is the truth. Healing starts when you fix your gaze on the One who bore your infirmities, not the ones biting your ankles. [01:16:16]

“Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.’ So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.”
(Numbers 21:8-9, NKJV)

Reflection: Where has your focus on the “serpent” (symptoms, reports, pain) diluted your faith? What step will you take today to fix your eyes on Christ’s finished work?

Sermon Summary

Jesus Christ is still who He is, and what He did in the Gospels is still what He does today. The claim “He healed them all” calls believers to take the Word of God at face value instead of letting feelings, history, pain, or a doctor’s report have the final say. Physical healing is not a Band Aid for a sick spirit, because a spirit must be born again and pass from death to life through Jesus Christ. Physical healing belongs to the covenant so that bodies can be strong, fulfill God’s will, and make it to the finish line.

Matthew shows multitudes coming to Jesus, and Jesus healing them all. Isaiah’s prophecy says that Christ bore, lifted, carried, and removed infirmities and sicknesses, and Matthew says Jesus fulfilled that prophecy when He healed all who were sick. The Gospel presents Jesus teaching, preaching, and healing all kinds of sickness and disease, leaving no malady outside His power. Hebrews declares that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and the same resurrection life now dwells in believers by the Holy Spirit.

Luke reveals that the Spirit of the Lord anointed Jesus for a purpose: to preach good news, heal broken hearts, bring liberty, restore sight, and set free people crushed by calamity. The anointing is not about goosebumps in worship; the anointing is for somebody else’s freedom. Isaiah pictures the enemy’s burden as a yoke on the neck, trying to drag a person somewhere God never called them to go. The anointing removes that burden, destroys that yoke, and shatters what has held a body or mind in bondage.

Faith does not deny pain, diagnoses, medicine, or doctors. Faith goes to Jesus first, takes medicine in faith when needed, and keeps speaking the Word over joints, organs, minds, and bodies. The bronze serpent in Numbers calls afflicted people to get their eyes off the snakes and look up. The doctor’s report may be a fact, but the truth of God’s Word overrides the fact.

Acts declares that God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power, and Jesus went about doing good and healing those oppressed by the devil. First John declares that the Son of God was manifested to undo, destroy, loosen, and dissolve the works of the devil. Salvation finally brings the deepest healing: not merely a better body, but a brand new spirit through making Jesus Christ Lord.

Key Takeaways

1. Jesus still heals and restores bodies Jesus Christ has not changed with the passing of the apostles or the passing of time. His healing works revealed His compassion and fulfilled the Word spoken beforehand. His presence in believers means that physical weakness does not get to define the final outcome. [55:12]
2. The anointing destroys every yoke The yoke pictures a burden that tries to steer a life into fear, pain, limitation, and defeat. God’s anointing does not merely make bondage easier to carry; it breaks and shatters it. Faith keeps refusing the yoke, even when circumstances argue otherwise. [63:48]
3. Facts never outrank God’s truth A diagnosis can be real, pain can be real, and a struggle can be long. God’s truth is greater than the facts confronting a body because Christ bore sickness and disease. Faith looks to Jesus without pretending that the battle is not there. [77:24]
4. Healing faith keeps looking at Jesus The bronze serpent required afflicted people to lift their eyes above the danger around them. Christ calls faith to quit staring at the snakes, the symptoms, and the fearful reports. His finished work becomes the place where hope is fixed and strength is renewed. [76:40]
5. New birth is the greatest need Physical healing matters deeply, but a sick spirit cannot enter heaven unchanged. Jesus requires a person to be born again through faith in His death and resurrection. Salvation brings a real inward transformation, not religious activity or church membership.

Interpretation questions

Matthew says that Jesus “healed them all.” What does this reveal about Jesus’ compassion, power, and willingness toward sick people? [54:14]
Matthew connects Jesus’ healing ministry to Isaiah’s prophecy. How does that connection help a believer understand healing as part of Christ’s saving work rather than merely an occasional miracle? [48:37]
Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus does not change. How should a believer understand that promise while still walking through a real diagnosis, ongoing pain, or a long recovery? [01:17:01]
The Bible presents new birth and physical healing as important, yet distinct. Why must being born again through faith in Jesus remain a person’s deepest need? [01:26:02]

Faith does not deny doctors, medicine, or symptoms, but it refuses to let them have the final word. How can a person wisely follow medical care while also actively trusting Christ for healing? [01:04:35]
The bronze serpent called the afflicted Israelites to look up rather than stare at the snakes around them. What “snakes”—fearful thoughts, symptoms, online searches, or discouraging reports—most often pull attention away from Jesus? What practical habit could help turn the eyes back to Him? [01:16:30]
A yoke is a burden that tries to pull a life toward fear, limitation, and defeat. Where might a person feel pressured to accept a yoke of sickness, anxiety, hopelessness, or defeat? How can that person begin to resist it with faith and truth? [01:03:16]
Jesus was anointed to bring good news, heal broken hearts, proclaim liberty, and set oppressed people free. Who in the group’s everyday life may need encouragement, prayer, practical help, or a reminder of Jesus’ compassion this week? [58:30]
Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. In what area does a person need to speak God’s truth instead of agreeing with fear, pain, or discouragement? What specific Scripture could be spoken over that area this week? [01:24:28]
Physical health matters, but a person must be born again by making Jesus Christ Lord. Has each person in the group personally trusted Jesus as Savior and Lord? If not, what questions or barriers need to be honestly brought to Him? [01:26:31]

#BreakEveryYoke

“Generally, they say an older, bigger animal would be yoked with a younger, smaller animal so that the younger, smaller animal has no choice but to go where the bigger, older animal goes. And so listen to me. God's saying the enemy is trying to yoke you. He's trying to put something on you that takes you somewhere that you were not called to go. Gets you somewhere believing something you're not called to believe. So the Bible says, Jesus, we we would just say, God's saying, I got something that's gonna reverse this. It's called the anointing. on. It's called the anointing. The anointing will remove that burden and destroy that yoke. Come on, everybody.”
