Big Healing Book - Matthew 15:30-31

Matthew 15:30-31:

And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them.
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, then they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Notes on Matthew 15:30-31:

It is inconvenient to bring a blind person or a crippled person somewhere to be healed. Remember that they did not have cars back then! Many times, these sick people had to be led or carried all the way to where Jesus was. You would not go through that kind of effort unless you really believed that it would pay off, which of course, it did. We see again the pattern that the sick had to be brought or had to get where Jesus was on their own. Jesus did not run around from house to house looking for sick people. These people were totally convinced that they could receive healing from Jesus. That is how people need to be today. Unfortunately, many people today expect God to do everything while they are unwilling to believe anything. They shrug and say, “If God wants me well, He’ll heal me.” That attitude would not have resulted in healing in Bible days and it will not result in healing today, either.

Today you have a privilege that the sick multitudes never had – you can receive the healing that Jesus paid for ANYWHERE without having to go to where He is. Of course, He is in heaven now, so you couldn’t go to Him in the sense that the multitudes did. However, you COULD go to where one of His followers is to receive healing. Believers are authorized to minister healing in His name because they are part of His Body on the earth. If you are a believer, Jesus lives in you even though He is also in heaven, so you don’t have to travel at all to reach Him!

However, you still have to do something. You have to believe, as they did, that you receive your healing. You cannot wait for God to do something. He already did something. In fact, He’s already done everything that He’s going to do about healing you. Until you see that, you don’t really understand how to receive your healing.

Notice that the maimed were healed as well as those with other conditions. If you’ve been in an accident, you’re still covered under God’s divine healing policy!
