Today I found Joseph Prince's "Grace Inspirations" to be very interesting!
THE 12 WELLS AND 70 PALM TREES
Exodus 15:27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve
wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters.
Would you like to know an important biblical key to divine
health? It is found in today’s verse, which comes right after God says, “I am
the Lord who heals you.” He said this to His people after He brought them out
of Egypt (see Exodus 15:26).
The wells of water and palm trees speak of refreshment. They
paint a picture of an oasis in the desert. The Israelites rested and were
refreshed there. But why the numbers 12 and 70?
There are no insignificant details in the Bible. The 12
wells of water and 70 palm trees represent anointed ministries that refresh you
with God’s Word. So if you want to know Jesus as the Lord who heals you, sit
under anointed preaching of God’s Word because when His Word goes forth, it
will heal you. His Word is medicine to all your flesh (see Proverbs 4:22)!
How did I make that connection? Let the Bible interpret the
Bible. Matthew 10:1 says that when Jesus had “called His twelve disciples
to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all
kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.” He sent out the 12 and said to
them, “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the
sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons...”
Then, in Luke 10:1, the Lord “appointed seventy others
also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where
He Himself was about to go.” He also said to the 70, “And heal the
sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you’” (Luke
10:9).
In other words, Jesus anointed the 12 and then the 70
disciples to preach God’s Word and heal the sick. Today, if you want
refreshment, if you want health and healing, don’t sit under ministries that
tell you that God doesn’t always want to heal and that He sometimes gives you
diseases to teach you lessons. Instead, sit under anointed ministries that
preach the good news and practice healing the sick. My friend, that is how you
can begin to walk in divine health!
AMEN! Make sure that you are ever being a DOER of THIS Word! it isw ALL for OUR benefit! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "World Outside Your Window":
