EIGHTEEN (18) IN THE BIBLE

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Number EIGHTEEN in the Bible

a) Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what has bound her? (Luke 13:16)

b) Eighteen is the number of bondage.

c) We see in the above scripture that Satan had kept the woman bound for eighteen years. By reading the entire passage, we learn that this woman had been "crippled by a spirit." She was "bent over" and could not "straighten up" at all.

d) Luke, the physician, lets us know that the illness was not a medical one. It was a spirit of infirmity caused by Satan. He also lets us know that "When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her: "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity." Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God."

e) Are you in bondage of any kind?

f) Let Jesus call you forward and hear Him say, "You are set free." Notice the woman was where Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues. In order to be set from your bondage, you MUST be in the place where Jesus is.


The End ...
