Because Of Your Faith

..........and Jesus asked them, "Do you believe I can make you see?"

"Yes, Lord," they told him, "we do."

Then he touched their eyes and said, "Because of your faith, it will happen."

Matthew 9:28-29 NLT

These blind men were not afraid to approach Jesus and boldly ask Him for healing.  They hunted Him down and followed until the right time when they could shout out "have mercy on us".  They were so bold that they followed Jesus right into the home where He was staying, and Jesus, without skipping a beat, asked them if they wanted to see.  Jesus didn't yell at them to leave or get out of His home, He knew why there were there, but by asking them He was checking their faith.  And without hesitation they both answered with a confident yes.  They had no idea how Jesus could do it, they had no idea what he was going to do but they believed that they could be healed.  What makes this so esciting is that Jesus didn't have to do anything.  No magic spell, no fancy surgery or medicine........He simply asked them if they believed and they did.  He touched them and they were healed.  Friends, Jesus simply asks us if we want to be healed.  He asks us if we believe.  What is your honest answer to this question?  Are you confident like these two men or do you hesitate in your belief that God can fix your specific circumstance?  Friend without faith you will not be made whole.  Without faith you will stay right were you are.  Without faith healing has no chance to walk into your life.  Jesus is all powerful and faithful to heal only when we are accepting of that healing and confident that He is our healer.  Jesus boldly tells us all, "Because of your faith, it will happen."  And so I ask you, "What does your faith look like?"
