While reading through Matthew chapters 8-9, I noticed something wonderful about Jesus. He did not discriminate when it came to healing. It is amazing to read how people would come to Him with leprosy, blindness, a blood disease, dead loved ones, and demonic possession and He would heal and deliver them – no questions asked. He never said “What sin have you gotten yourself into that has caused this sickness”. He never said, “You need to get your life right first before I perform a miracle on your behalf”. Instead He met them all where they were and healed them. All Jesus needed was faith. Once they asked, He healed and delivered them right away.
So here is my question: Why do we think that is has to take months or years to be healed? Is that a stronghold in our mind? According to these scriptures all we need is faith. And for those of us who do not have sickness in our body but are in belief with friends and loved ones for their wholeness – do not judge them like Job’s “friends” did trying to find out why they are going through what they are going through. Just remember that Jesus did not discriminate. All He needed was faith.
