Jazz crooner and populist vocalist Michael Bublé, who has touched the hearts of so many fans and admirers around the world, was informed that his three year old son has been diagnosed with cancer. Like any parent, this was extremely devastating news, to feel utterly helpless in the face of your loved one being unwell and their wellbeing being subject to the actions of the medics, but in a desperate plea, Michael Bublé sent out a request for all to pray for his son, as he himself came to an understanding that beyond the doctors and the great physicians of this world is a greater Healer and a greater Physician found only in God.
Bublé has touched the hearts of so many, and during his performances many have reached out to touch him, yet now Bublé makes it clear that it’s a touch from God that is now needed. We find also in the scriptures that the woman with the issue of blood at a moment of desperation, pressed against everything and everyone else so as to get a touch of Jesus.
The virtue of God’s holy presence in our lives, brings about a newness in our lives with holistic healing and it is each and every day we need a touch from God so as to keep us renewed, empowered, and strengthened to His glory.
There are many thousands of sick children around the world who, in the primary of their lives, have been diagnosed with life threatening ailments, all of whom have desperate parents in search of a cure for their loved one.
It was Bishop T D Jakes who said, ‘You can’t have healing without sickness’.
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord ~ James 5:14
Today, our various ailments, sicknesses and conditions render us in a position of desperate need of God’s hand in our lives. Let us pray for God’s intervention and for wisdom.
