Scripture

Jesus asked them, “Do you believe I can make you see?” “Yes, Lord, “they told him, “we do.”

Observation

After raising the girl from the dead, two blind men follow Jesus asking Him to heal them.

Jesus asks them, “Do you believe I can make you see?” “Yes,” they reply.

And so Jesus tells them that their faith has healed them.

A demon possessed man who could not speak is brought to Jesus. Jesus casts out the demon and the man can speak. The crowd is amazed because nothing like this has ever happened before.

Application

All through the gospels, we see Jesus encouraging people to express faith before He heals them. He doesn’t do this for His own benefit, but to grow the faith of the person being healed as well as the faith of the people watching.

Part of the reason why we see so few miracles these days is that we have such little faith for healing. We need to practise faith and encourage it to grow .

Faith is like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes.

One way to do this is to pray for even small and trifling things Pray out loud and command that cold or pain to go in Jesus’ name. When we do this, we can start to believe for bigger diseases, and even for apparently incurable diseases.

It takes faith, a conviction that Jesus is able to and willing to heal us.

Prayer

Please grow my faith Lord so that so that I can trust to heal to heal any disease. Amen.
