As They Went.
“And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?” Luke 17:12-17 KJV
The unclean ones cried, “Have mercy on us.” According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word for “Leper” is, ‘lepros’ (G3015) which means, “Scaly or rough.” Maybe, your heart is hardened. Maybe, you’re rough around the edges. Maybe, your heart has scaled from past hurts. Maybe, like the lepers, your heart has scaled over and you need to be healed. Let God give you a new heart. Ezekiel 36:26 KJV declares, “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.”
The lepers, or the unclean ones, cried out, “Have mercy on us.” According to Strong’s Concordance, the Greek word for “Mercy” is, ‘eleeō’ (G1653) which means, “To have compassion or pity on.” These lepers were considered unclean under Levitical law. Under the law these lepers could not come into the camp. They could not touch that which was clean.
But when these lepers saw Jesus from afar off, they cried, “Master, have mercy on us.” Essentially, the “far off” ones were declaring, “Father, have compassion on us.” Maybe your heart is like the lepers, the “far off” ones, and the law, or the opinion of others, have distanced you from coming close to Christ. The Bible declares that nothing shall distance you or separate you from the love of Christ. “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” Romans 8:35 KJV.
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 KJV. Let the past go. Receive your healing and move forward in Christ. Walk with Him and be set free — completely. Surrender to Him and be made whole. Lay at His feet and draw close to Him. James 4:8 KJV declares, “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” Christ has set you free. He is healing for your soul. “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2 KJV
If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, or if you have fallen away from Him, simply say this prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, I repent of my sin. I turn to You. Father, I receive Your Son, Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior. I believe that Jesus Christ died and rose just for me.
I believe that His Blood washes me and cleanses me from all unrighteousness. Father, in You, I am set free. Father, through the Blood of your Son, Jesus Christ my past is history and my future is bright.
Father, In You, I am made new. Father, in You, I am complete. Father, in You, I am made whole. Father, in You, I am restored. Father, I surrender every area of my life to You now and forever. In Jesus Name. Amen.
