And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. Matthew 8:14-15
The story of Peter’s mother-in-law is found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. There are a couple of things to observe here. When Jesus heals, there is no recovery time; you are completely well right then and there. That was the case for Peter’s mother-in-law; Jesus touched her hand, and her fever left her. She got right up and started ministering to them. From this portion of scripture, we now know that Peter was married, had a home, and it’s likely that Jesus stayed there with them. Another observation is that Jesus made sure his disciples’ families were comfortable and well cared for, freeing him to minister to others without worry.
When you are doing God’s will, he takes care of your concerns; I can attest to that. We’ve had some near-tragic circumstances recently that would have taken me right out of the game, but God heard my prayers and the prayers of my family, and our family is still whole because of His mercy. What I recently learned, which I hope you take with you, is not to dismiss God’s still small voice. If you get weird thoughts or feel a check in your Spirit about something, do not neglect to acknowledge it, and if you can’t do anything about it, pray. It could be the Spirit prompting you to get involved to change the trajectory of an outcome. And, just like that, Jesus will step in, command his angels concerning you or your loved one, and what was meant to harm will be directed away from you or your family. We don’t know the power we have because we are tuned out and distracted by worldly cares; this is your wake-up call to plug into the Source and start living for God, leaving worldly cares behind for the greater good.
