Getting Positioned to Receive Spiritual Healing
Matthew 4:23-24 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. [24] News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.
Matthew 8:2-3 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean. [3] Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. I am willing, he said. Be clean! Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.
Matthew 8:5-10, 13 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help.... [8] The centurion replied, Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. [9] For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, Go, and he goes; and that one ,Come, and he comes. I say to my servant, Do this, and he does it. [10] When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.... [13] Then Jesus said to the centurion, Go! It will be done just as you believed it would. And his servant was healed at that very hour.
Matthew 9:2, 6-7 Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven. ... [6] ... Then he said to the paralytic, Get up, take your mat and go home. [7] And the man got up and went home.
Matthew 9:20-22 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. [21] She said to herself, If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed. [22] Jesus turned and saw her. Take heart, daughter, he said, Your faith has healed you. And the woman was healed from that moment.
Matthew 9:27-30a As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, Have mercy on us, Son of David! [28] ... and he asked them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? Yes, Lord, they replied. [29] Then he touched their eyes and said, According to your faith will it be done to you; [30] and their sight was restored.
Matthew 20:30-34 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, Lord, Son of David, Have mercy on us! [31]The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us! [32] Jesus stopped and called them. What do you want me to do for you? he asked. [33] Lord, they answered, we want our sight. [34] Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.
