The Leper Shows Us How To Pray For Healing

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. In the early days of Jesus’ ministry, a leper came to him, begging for Jesus to heal him. He kneeled before Jesus, and showed us how we are to pray for healing. “If you are willing,” the leper said, “you can make me clean.” He did not insist that Jesus heal him, he did not name and claim his healing, he asked Jesus for it in humility. He knew sometimes God has purposes larger than physical healing. He had the confidence that Jesus could heal him, and would if it represented the will of God for his life. Jesus was moved with pity, stretched out his hand, touched him - which was never done - and said, “I am willing; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him. So when we pray for healing, let’s pray in faith, knowing that Jesus has all power to heal. But let’s also trust him to heal if and only if it is his will.
