I once read that Smith
Wigglesworth, when ministering in prayer lines would often ask people, "Do youbelieve that God has sent me here to heal you?" If they said yes, he would pray for them and they would get healed. What does it mean to be sent? It means, 'set apart by God or chosen by God.' One that has been sent out by God is someone that has been sent.
Immediately after
Jesus returned from the wilderness, Jesus entered a Jewish synagogue where he read the scroll from Isaiah:
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty
them that are bruised...(Luke 4:18 kjv)
Jesus knew that he was sent by God.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God, for God giveth not the spirit by measure unto him (John3:34).
A Prophet speaks the words of God; he is God's instrument, his oracle.
As Jesus was reading this from Isaiah, those in the synagogue began to whisper among themselves and say, 'Is not this Joseph's son?'...
