And ought not this woman, BEING A DAUGHTER OF ABRAHAM, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day? Luke13:16
Healing for a child of God is not a privilege, IT IS A RIGHT!Privileges are products of preference but Rights are based on position. The most dangerous men on the face of the earth today are the men who know their rights.
Privileges may be pleaded for but Rights are taken advantages of. You don’t beg for a Right, you exercise a Right. But one very important point is: you cannot exercise a right that you do not know you have. Until you realize that you are a Son and not a Servant, you will keep begging in your father’s house.
Jesus was teaching in the synagogue one day when a woman walked in bent over with a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. For eighteen years she couldn’t lift herself up. For eighteen years she was a slave of sickness and disease until the day she was told by Jesus that it was HER RIGHT to be healed.
She walked into the synagogue when Christ was teaching and Christ halted his message to make one point clear: ‘Ought not this woman being a daughter of Abraham be loosed from this infirmity?’ In other words, Jesus was saying: ‘If you are a daughter (or son) of Abraham, you have THE RIGHT to be loosed from your infirmity.’
That was a revelation to all that were in the synagogue that day because they didn’t know that before. If that woman had known that earlier at any time within that eighteen year period in which she suffered her infirmity she would have been healed. Why? What is your right is YOURS; it’s not about to be given to you. So when you know it’s your right, you simply TAKE IT. Like that woman, we are sons and daughters of Abraham (Gal3:6-7). It therefore follows that healing is our right. We don’t beg for it, WE TAKE IT.
