Acts 5:16 "Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed."
Even after Jesus had been crucified, raised back to life again and ascended into heaven, the very same work that Jesus performed, while on the earth, was still taking place through the hands of His disciples, and all were being healed. Hebrews 13:8 tells us that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" so we know miracles exist today.
Hebrews 7:25 "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."
Take a look at this scripture in the Amplified Version for a great rendering of the Greek word for "Uttermost":
"Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them."
If we will come to the understanding of what is being declared here in the Word, all doubt and uncertainly just has to flee and faith will just be. I don't know about you, but I get real happy just knowing that Jesus is interceding for me. That alone gives me great hope, because you can be assured Jesus always gets His prayers answered. If you're going to be on a prayer list, this is definitely the one to be on.
Also, it's important to remember that the word "save" in the Greek is the word "sozo" which literally means to heal, preserve, save, do well, be (or make) whole. It means deliverance in the present as well as in the future. Sozo also describes its work both physically as well as spiritually. Jesus used this word to denote healing of the body as well as forgiveness of sins. Whenever you come across the word save, saved or salvation, remember to always translate it as "save-heal" when you come across it in the Word.
