Faith To Be Healed

 Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk - Acts 14:10.

Lame man in Lystra healed

            A lame man who had never walked from birth began to walk when listening to the speech of Paul as he had faith to be healed. In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk - Acts 14:8-10.

Blind man Bartimaeus healed

            The faith of the blind man Bartimaeus healed him and brought sight to him. 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. “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road - Mark 10:52.

Woman with the issue of blood healed

                A woman with the issue of blood for twelve years was healed when she touched the garment of Jesus with faith. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction - Mark 5 :27-29.  And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction” - Mark 5:34.

              Let our faith bring healing and miracles in our life. For we walk by faith, not by sight - 2 Corinthians 5:7. 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. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10:17. 

                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us be healed by our faith. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
