KPPI (Praise and Divine Healing Service) online took place again on Monday, 15 June 2020 through the Live Streaming program on Facebook and YouTube.
The Word of God was delivered by Rev. Jacob B. Sumbayak taken from Matthew 9: 27-31 about Jesus healed the eyes of two blind men.
“According to your faith let it be to you.”
This event occurred when Jesus had just raised the head of a synagogue who had just died and healed a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years. The two blind men followed Him, shouting, over and over: “Son of David, have mercy on us!”
These two people had a strong determination, followed Jesus with all the effort, whether guided by others or listened to the voices of the people in front of them, somehow as they were blind, but they tried hard to meet Jesus. This continued for a long time, until Jesus entered the house, and the two blind men also entered the house.
These two blind men came to Him and Jesus said to them: “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him: “Yes, Lord” Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be to you.”
This is amazing, what they believed occurred. They trusted and became healed. They came to Jesus, they knew Jesus was not a reckless person but the Messiah, and indeed the promised Messiah was from the descendant of David. So they called Him “Son of David”. They believed Jesus is from God, and could certainly heal them.
They might also had heard, the son of the synagogue chief was resurrected, and the bleeding woman was healed by Jesus.
They really pursued Jesus. Even though they were blind, they were determined to go after Jesus, shouting and shouting “Son of David, have mercy on us!” And when he finally met, Jesus simply asked: “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
Because they put their trust, Jesus touched their eyes and only said “According to your faith let it be to you.” So their eyes saw instantly. Hallelujah!
How powerful is faith in Jesus! If we believe in Jesus then what we ask for in His name we can get it. Why? Due to Jesus is the Son of God who came down from Heaven and was very powerful.
Maybe these two blind men did not have much knowledge, but believed that Jesus came from Heaven and could perform miracles. So they received miracles according to their faith.
What was happening here can happen to you too. The first step to receiving a miracle is to believe that Jesus is the Son of God. He came into the world and became a human, willing to be born in the sheepfold from the virgin Mary. Being a carpenter’s son, living as we live, not a rich person, used to find food by exerting energy. Until even in time He ascended to the cross and died to atone for the sins of you and me.
Jesus died and was buried, but on the third day He rose from the dead. If we believe in Jesus and believe in His death on the cross, atoned for our sins. So if we die we will also be resurrected just like Jesus.
Jesus gave an example of how He rose from the dead, so whoever believes in Him will also be resurrected.
Whoever believes in Jesus should not perish, but have eternal life
John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Why not perish? Because Jesus atoned for our sins. Why eternal life? Because if we die and be buried, at His coming we will also be resurrected.
Come to Jesus, we can not pay for our sins. But Jesus took it on the cross and atoned for our sins.
If you believe in Jesus, according to God’s word, you are given the power to become children of God. If we become Father’s children in Heaven, we will get blessings from our Father in Heaven, including healing.
For those who are sick and have been waiting to pray and be healed by God. Be like the two blind men who believed that Jesus could do it, so be to them according to their faith.
Matthew 9: 32-34, “While the two blind men came out, they were brought to Jesus a man, mute and demon-possessed. And after the demon had been cast out, the mute man could speak. So the people were amazed, he said: “It was never seen like this in Israel.”
Jesus never compromised with the devil, he was cast out and the mute suddenly spoke. So the people were amazed and said, “It was never seen like this in Israel.”
There are power and miracles in Jesus. How do we get it? Be according to your faith.
Put your trust in Jesus, the blind see, the mute speaks, the dead are raised, even the winds were calm, when told to be calm. He is very powerful. By Jesus’ stripes we are healed. [RH/EM]
