"I am willing.' he said. 'Be healed!'" Matthew 8:3 NLT
The Bible says: "A man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. 'Lord,' the man said, 'if you are willing, you can heal me.'...Jesus reached out and touched him. 'I am willing,' he said. 'Be healed!'" And instantly the leprosy disappeared" (vv. 2-3 NLT). God does not want us to go through life wondering if it's His will to heal us. That's why He graciously gave us His Word. David said: "O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health. You brought me up from the grave" (Ps 30:2-3 NLT). God is so serious about our healing that He connected it to the death of Jesus on the cross. "Who Himself bore our sins in HIs own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed" (1Pe 2:24 NKJV). We don't doubt Christ's triumph over death at the cross or our salvation because of it. Neither should we count the Father's will to heal us. Note the words, "By whose stripes you were healed." That's past tense. From God's perspective, all that's required for your healing was accomplished at the cross. This leper knew that Jesus could heal him; he just didn't know if He would. Jesus clears up his doubt with three powerful words: "I am willing." And then He said, "Be healed!" (Mt 8:3 NLT). The Bible records that the men's leprosy disappeared instantly. It also says: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Heb 13:8 NKJV). That means you can go to Him with confidence and believe for your healing.
