SET THE STORY - SLIDE ROAD
luke 17:11-
On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee.
And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance
and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”
When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed.
Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice;
and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan.
Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”
And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”
I LIKE THE FACT THAT JESUS WAS THERE

WHAT TRUTH IS THE HOLY SPIRIT IMPARTING TO ME RIGHT NOW.
MY FAITH IN GOD IS WHAT BRINGS ME TRUE HEALING
“The leprous person who has the disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head hang loose, and he shall cover his upper lip and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean.’
He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp.
LEV 13:
Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem and traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee (17:11). Tensions sometimes ran strong between Jews and Samaritans. Samaritans were considered “half-breeds” because they were descendants of other nationalities who mixed with the Jews who remained in the region during the captivity. The Jews largely did not associate with the Samaritans ().
The Jewish community was the primary mission of Jesus, but there were Samaritans who responded quickly and openly to His ministry, so He often used them to prod the Jews for their lack of response to His message.
Ten men who had leprosy met Jesus as he was going into a village (17:12). Leprosy was a dreaded disease that had social as well as physical consequences. People afflicted with leprosy were declared to be unclean and were not to have direct contact with others, which caused these men to stand at a distance and call out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” (17:12–13).
SLIDE - NO DISEASE
No disease was beyond the ability of Jesus to heal, and His means of healing varied from case to case. Luke recorded another healing of leprosy in chapter 5 in which Jesus healed the leprous man with a touch and a word. In this case, Jesus instructed the ten men, saying, “Go show yourselves to the priests” (17:14). When Jesus healed the single leper, He also sent him to the priest, saying, “Don’t tell anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them” (). The ceremonial law of the Jews placed the responsibility with the priests for pronouncing lepers clean or unclean. Jesus sent them there to fulfill the law and to provide a credible witness to the healing.
SLIDE OBEDIENCE
OBEDIENCE
OBEDIENCE
As they went, they were cleansed (17:14). Their obedience to the instruction of Jesus became their means of healing. The priests did not heal them, nor did a ceremony of cleansing or application of ointment. A level of faith was exercised in their coming to Jesus and in their obedience, which was sufficient enough to receive God’s gift of healing.
However, it seems that one of the ten moved to a higher level of faith who, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice (17:15).
Verse 14 indicates that all ten of the lepers “were cleansed” of their leprosy—they were healed. Verse 19 indicates that the one leper who came back and threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him (17:16) was “made well.” While all were physically healed, the one who came back to Jesus experienced a deeper work of being “made well,” a word most often translated “saved” or “made whole.”
SLIDE BEFORE WHOLENESS
It is possible to be free from disease but not be whole. It is possible to be whole and yet have a physical disability.
WHOLENESS
WHOLENESS
Wholeness involves well-being, spiritual and emotional, not just physical health.
The leper’s return to Jesus to recognize Him as Lord and thank Him demonstrated a deeper level of faith and led to a greater level of personal wholeness. Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well” (17:19

SLIDE VERSE 19 - MADE YOU WHOLE
BODY MIND AND SPIRIT
MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE IN GOD AND WILL RECEIVE HEALING AND BENEFIT FROM PRAYERS, BUT NOT ALL WILL BE AS THE ONE AND RECOGNISE THE SOUCE OF TRUE BLESSING.
Our bodies can be in varying degrees of health, wellness or state of wholeness. Even if they appear to be healthy on the outside, there may be subtle things occurring on the inside that are not well. And, I imagine that none of us have completely healthy behaviors all the time.
When a person accepts Jesus into their heart, he’s rescued or delivered from sin and eternal separation from God. We call this salvation. The Greek word is sozo. God puts his Spirit into our hearts

) and our spirits then become fully alive. Throughout our life on earth, our spirits will bear the image of God – we are completely well in spirit. We are positionally sanctified from a spiritual perspective

SLIDE - PHYSICAL....
Physical healing should never be our primary goal, but rather wholeness.
PEACE OF MIND

Living with gratitude, regardless of life’s circumstances, releases God to bring greater levels of wholeness to our broken lives.
