Rod Parsley Devotional 23rd November 2024, Saturday Message
TOPIC: Turn Your Gaze to Jesus
The LORD said to Moses, “Make a poisonous serpent, and put it on a pole, and it will be, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, will live.” – Numbers 21:8
“Why did you drag us out of Egypt to die? Why did you bring us to this worthless country? The food is bland, tasteless!” The Israelites were once again complaining to Moses. Due to their ingratitude, God sent serpents to bite them and many died.

Moses interceded for God’s people, and at His command he fashioned a snake. Anyone in the camp of Israel who looked at the bronze serpent in faith and obedience received deliverance from the effects of the snakes that plagued the camp.
The bronze serpent was a type of Jesus’ sacrifice. Jesus said, “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but may have eternal life” (John 3:14-15). Healing is your rightful possession Jesus purchased for you when He gave His life on the cross. Look to Him and receive your miracle today.
I turn my gaze upon You, Lamb of God, who bore all of my sicknesses and diseases so that I may walk in divine health.
