Your Faith Has Healed You

 Your faith has healed you - Mark 10:52.

               Jesus went to Jericho and when blind Bartimaeus heard about it, he started shouting for Jesus to have mercy on him. Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” - Mark 10:46,47.

            With faith, Bartimaeus shouted more for Jesus to have mercy on him even though many rebuked him and told him to be quiet. Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” - Mark 10:48. Jesus called and asked him what did he want from Him. Bartimaeus answered that he wanted to see. Jesus said that his faith has healed him and he immediately received his sight. “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road - Mark 10:52.

                Our faith in God will bring healings and miracles in our life. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven - James 5:15. He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at their lack of faith - Mark 6:5,6. The faith of Bartimaeus healed him. Like Bartimaeus, let us also seek God more with faith irrespective of all our circumstances and be healed.

                                              

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to seek Your face more with faith irrespective of our circumstances. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
