We don’t
know what God will do but we know what He can do.
And when they were come out of the ship, immediately they knew Him. And ran through that whole region round about,
and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard He was. And wherever He entered, into villages or
cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets and besought Him that they might touch if it were but the border of
His garment; and as many as touched Him were made whole.” Mark 6:54-56
Seven Scriptural Ways To Be
Healed
1. The elders of the church can anoint with oil, pray for them and they may be healed. James 5:14-16
2. God’s people can lay hands on each other in prayer, ask God for healing and people may be healed. Mark 16:17
3. God may grant someone the gift of healing
with the authority to minister healing to others 1 Corinthians 12:9
4. God may grant healing in response to the faith of the person
who desires healing. Matthew 9:22
5. God may grant healing to someone in behalf of the faith of others. Mark 2:45
6. God often heals through medical treatment. 1 Tim 5:23 Luke 10:34 2
Kings 20:7
7. God performs sovereign acts of mercy to heal. John 5 He takes the initiative. He does the work!
Perhaps
there are other ways but the common denominator is it is always Jesus. Read the scripture here in Mark. They heard Jesus was in the area and not knowing how long He would be there they hurried to get the sick to Him. As they knew He would be passing through a certain village or city they laid the sick
in the streets, all they wanted was just to touch His garment...they knew by faith, that would be sufficient.
Everyone
that touched Him was made completely well! What a remarkable account here in scripture. That’s not asking much, “just
let me touch your clothes” but it is expecting and receiving much. Everyone wants to be healed. Their investment
in this healing miracle was enough faith that they made an effort to touch Jesus. They went to where He was, even though in
some cases, loved ones carried them there, they believe He could do it, they believed He would do it, they made a move. Jesus
disappointed no one. As many as touched Him were made whole.
