Insights
  • Peter's mother-in-law was healed by a touch, only in Luke's account were words spoken over her. When you carry an anointing, healing power or whatever is required can be transmitted through the laying on of hands or other means. In the book of Acts; Peter's shadow healed people, Acts 5:12. also handkerchiefs from the Apostle Paul were used to heal the sick, Acts 19:11.
  • In both Mark's & Luke's gospel, they informed Jesus of the healing need. At times we need to make our request known to Jesus, "we have not because we ask not", James 4:2.
  • She showed gratitude to God. After the fever left her and she served them. Giving thanks, is very important! Scripture speaks much about giving thanks, "Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, 2nd 2:14a.
