How can that be true when the medical profession tells us that there are so many incurable diseases?
Just look around and see that people are dying from multiple diseases, cancer, heart, diabetes, etc, etc, and etc.
No matter what the disease, there is a cure, a miraculous cure from the master physician.
The proof is in Holy Scripture:
Matthew 4:23, "And he went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues
and preaching the gospel of the kingdom
and healing
every disease and every infirmity among the people."
Matthew 4:24, "And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with
diverse diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and
lunatics, and those that had the palsy, and he cured them:"
Matthew 9:35, "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in
their synagogues and preaching the gospel
of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity."
Matthew 10:1, "And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them
authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out,
and
to heal every disease and every infirmity."
Mark 5:29, "And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease."
Mark 5:34, "And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith
has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."
Luke 6:17-19, "And he came down with them and stood
on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples
and a great multitude
of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon,
who came
to hear him and to be healed of their
diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits
were cured.
And all the crowd sought to touch him, for
power came forth from him and healed them all."
Luke 7:21-23, "In that hour he
cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many that were blind
he bestowed sight. ;
And he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind
receive their sight, the lame walk,
lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear,
the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached
to them.
And blessed is he who takes no offense at me."
*Note #1.
Have you noticed in the several verses above that Jesus healed 'every disease and infirmity'?
Doesn't that
send us a strong message that there is no human disease that Jesus could not
cure?
Mark 6:4-6,
(4) "And Jesus said to them: "A prophet
is not without honour, but in his own country, and in his own house,
and
among his own kindred."
(5) And he could not do any
miracles there, only that he cured a few that were sick, laying his hands
upon them.
(6) And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went
through the villages round about teaching."
*Note #2.
"And He could
not do any miracles there"???
Jesus who is God could not perform miracles
within His house or with His kin?
Those three verses 4-6 above hold the
key to where this page is headed. Can you see where that key is?
How about
these words in verse 6?
"And he wondered because of their unbelief". Let us back up to the previous
verse 3 to see why their unbelief:
Mark 6:3, "Is not this the carpenter,
the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon,
and are
not his sisters here with us?" "And they took offense at him."
His friends
and neighbors who grew up with Him seemingly did not know who He
really was.
Faith and belief is a high priority for a miraculous
cure.
Faith:
The word 'faith'
is found in 230 verses in the New Testament. RSV
I would say that 'faith' is so very important since it is
mentioned so many times.
Matthew 9:2-8, "And behold, they brought to him
a paralytic, lying on his bed;
and when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic,
"Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven."
And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves,
"This man is blaspheming."
But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said,
"Why do you think evil in your hearts?
For which is easier, to say, 'Your
sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?
But that you may know that the Son
of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"
--he then
said to the paralytic--"Rise, take up your bed and go
home."
And he rose and went home.
When
the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such
authority to men."
*Note #3.
'Authority to men?'
The people still
did not know who Jesus really was.
Matthew 9:22, "Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well."
And instantly the woman was made
well."
Matthew 9:28-29, "When he entered the house, the blind men came to him;
and Jesus said to them, Matthew 17:19-20, "Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why
could we not cast it out?" John 14:13-14, "Whatever you ask in my name, I will do
it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; John 16:23, "In that day you will ask nothing of me.
Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, Colossians 3:17, "And whatever you do, in word or
deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, Romans 8:26-27. "In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our
weakness; "For we do not know how to pray
as we ought."
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ! Written by Bob Stanley, July 22, 2014
"Do you believe that I am able
to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord."
Then he
touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be
it done to you."
Matthew 14:29-31, "He said,
"Come." So Peter got out of the boat and
walked on the water and came to Jesus;
but when he saw the wind, he was
afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me."
Jesus
immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, "O man of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Matthew 15:28, "Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you
desire."
And her daughter was
healed instantly."
He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if
you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move
from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to
you."
if you ask anything in my
name, I will do it."
he will
give it to you in my name."
*Note #4.
Have you
ever asked the Father in the name of His Son Jesus for healing in your
petition?
giving thanks to God the
Father through him."
for we do not know how to pray as we
ought,
but the Spirit itself intercedes with
inexpressible groanings. And the one who searches hearts knows
what is the
intention of the Spirit, because it intercedes for the holy
ones according to God’s will."
Ephesians 6:5-6,
"Servants, be obedient to them that are your lords according to the flesh, with
fear and trembling,
in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ. Not
serving to the eye, as it were pleasing men: but, as the servants of Christ,
doing the will of God from the heart."
Hebrews 10:35-36, "Therefore do not throw away your
confidence, which has a great reward.
For you
have need of endurance, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is
promised."
So Try This...
"According to your faith be it done to
you."
"According to God’s
will."
By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through
the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead, and to an inheritance
which is imperishable,
undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for
you,
who by God's power are guarded through faith for a salvation ready
to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice,
though now for a
little while you may have to suffer various trials,
so that the
genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which though
perishable is
tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and
honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
1Peter 1:3-7
