Is God willing to heal you?

Matthew 8:3
3Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

The leper must have heard or seen from a distance about all that Jesus did, since he was not permitted to be in public places by the law- how Jesus had healed the sick.

So he had no doubt that Jesus could heal him, but he was not sure if Jesus would.

He said to Jesus, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” (Matthew 8:2)

He was confident of the power of God, but not the love of God for him.

Maybe you don’t have a problem believing that God can give you your miracle, since He is Almighty God, but wonder if He will do it for you. Let Jesus’ actions and answer to the leper settle this question once and for all. He stretched forth His hand, touched the leper and said, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately, the leper was healed.

Jesus touched the leper! He could have healed him from a distance with just a spoken word.

He had healed others this way as in the case of the centurion’s servant and the Syro-Phoenician

woman’s daughter. But why did Jesus touch the leper?

Jesus knew that for so many years, the leper had been cut off from his family and society,so he must have been feeling dehumanized. I believe that Jesus touched him to make him  feel loved and accepted again.

Can you see how much Jesus loved the leper? That is how much He loves you!

The day that you come to know God’s heart of love and believe that He wants you blessed more than you want to be blessed is the day that you receive your miracle!

Catch a glimpse of God’s heart of love, and you will believe that He is not only able, but also willing to make you whole! My prayer is that you will believe this. And if you don't ask God, tell him, 'I believe, but help me in my unbelief.'

Start 2011 with victorious living

Matthew 4:4
4But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

God breathed into man and he became a living being. (Genesis 2:7) All Scripture is God-breathed. (2 Timothy 3:16, NIV) which means that when you read the Bible or listen to God’s Word preached, you are imbibing the very breath of God which gives you life.

That is why there may have been times you walked into church feeling tired at first, but left the service refreshed, energized. God’s Word had breathed life into your body.  Spend time in God’s Word and you will feel life flow in your body. The zoe LIFE Jesus talks about when he said, I have come to give you life and life more abundantly. .

Proverbs 4:22 says that God’s words are “life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh”. So if you are under the weather or if symptoms are attacking your body, double up on God’s medicine- feed more on God’s Word, life and health will flow through your body again.
Remember man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. If it is important to eat our meals every day, how much more feeding on God’s Word?
