When these things begin to happen, don’t fear. Look up and be happy! Don’t worry. Be happy, because you know that the time when God will free you is near!”
In that synagogue there was a woman that had a spirit \{from the devil\} inside her. This spirit had made the woman crippled for 18 years. Her back was always bent; she could not stand up straight.
Everything that God made is waiting with excitement for the time when God will show the world who his children are. The whole world wants very much for that to happen.
Not only the world, but we also have been waiting with pain inside us. We have the Spirit {\cf2\super [67]} as the first part of God’s promise. So we are waiting for God to finish making us his own children. I mean we are waiting for our bodies to be made free.
That Holy Spirit is the guarantee that we will get the things God promised for his people. This will bring full freedom to those people who belong to God. The goal of all this is to bring praise to God’s glory.
