If you’re wondering, ‘How can I be sure God is willing to heal me?’, read this: ‘And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed…and they came to him from every quarter’ (Mark 1:40-42, 45 KJV). Not only is God willing to heal us, but He responds to our sickness and suffering with compassion. ‘He departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, and he healed their sick’ (Matthew 14:13-14 KJV). One day two blind men were sitting on the roadside when they heard that Jesus was passing by. Immediately they cried out: ‘“Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.”…And Jesus…said, “What will ye that I shall do unto you?” They say unto him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him’ (Matthew 20:30, 32-34 KJV). Has Christ’s power diminished? No. Does He have less compassion towards His redeemed children today than He had for the multitude back then? No. So, come to Him with confidence, praying and believing for your healing.
