The Healing of a Deaf and Mute Man
31 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis.[i] 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man.
33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him,“Ephphatha!” (which means, “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,” they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
In the Bible throughout the New Testament we see people who are in dire need of Jesus healing hand and they are brought to Him to receive that healing by faith. Whether it is the sick themselves who come to Him or people who are related to the sick bringing them to Jesus feet, they all have one thing in common. They know that the healing comes from Him (GOD). It is He who heals, no matter what medium or vessel He chooses. It is the same today. When we are sick, it is GOD who brings the healing that we require. He may minister to us through people or supernaturally. He may choose to heal us through a doctor, or through the laying on of hands, through the prayers of others or through His ministering Spirit. GOD can do anything, so don't limit Him to your expectations. He is almighty GOD and in His wisdom and infinite love for you He will pick the best method of healing for you. Trust. Don't doubt, just trust and believe. GOD bless you. x
