In this article, I want to talk about certain things to look out for on the road to your healing. I will use the story of Jairus to point out to you things you must do to get your own healing.

Realize That God Is Not Moved By The Intensity Of Your Problem A man by the name Jairus had his only child sick. He had heard that

So in His consent, Jesus went with him and as He was going, the Bible says in Luke 8:42b that the multitude thronged Him. They crowded Him; pushing and shoving Him and I

When the woman who had gotten her healing just by touching Jesus saw that she couldn’t be hidden, she came and said, “I’m the one”. It was at that moment that they brought the evil report to Jairus saying, “Don’t bother the Master anymore, your daughter is dead”. This means that the condition is now hopeless, but thank God, the immensity or intensity of a problem is not what determines whether that problem will be solved or not. On the road to your healing, you must realize that the immensity or the

Jesus was going on the way and suddenly, He felt power go out of Him and He asked, “Who touched me?” His disciples were surprised at His question. The multitude thronged and pressed Jesus; so, touching Him was inevitable. Jesus insisted that it is a different kind of touch because power left Him due to that touch. God’s power is His glory. Jesus was, in effect, telling Jairus that it was the power of God that came from Him that swallowed up the twelve years of that issue of blood. In the same way, no matter how intense the situation

made manifest on the day of resurrection. Compared to that power, anything that is contrary to the will of God for you where your body is concerned is a light af_liction.

Realize That Faith Draws From The Power Of God

What You Hear And See, You Will Say

J e s u s s a i d to t h e wo m a n , “Daughter, go, your faith has m a d e y o u w h o l e ”. Fa i t h , therefore, is the vehicle by which you draw from the power and the glory of God. Jesus told Jairus, “Don’t be afraid, only believe…” because fear is the opposite of faith. No greater glory will be revealed than the glory that was revealed on the resurrection morning and you can draw from that glory; but the vehicle or the tool with which you can draw from it is the tool of your faith and not of fear.

Two ways your faith can draw from the power of God are:

What You Hear And See Jesus knew that Jairus came to Him because he had faith in His ability, but the devil wanted to attack that faith.

50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well”.

51 When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl.

52 Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping”.

53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

54 But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise”.

Luke 8:51-54

Imagine that Jesus got to Jairus’ house and joined the people wailing to weep, but He did not do that because that was not what was on His mind. What _ills your mind and what you see is what you will speak. Jesus was _illed with faith. He saw a sleeping girl that He was going to wake up and that is what He said. You will automatically voice out what you hear and what you see because that is what _ills your mind.

On the road to your healing, do not bother about the immensity or intensity of the problem; it is a light af_liction. Doctors may have given up on you, may the eyes of your understanding be enlightened to realise that it is only a light af_liction. To draw from the glory of God, you need the vehicle of your faith. What you see and hear will guarantee that you will remain in faith, and what you hear and see, you will automatically say.

The _inality of every act of faith is peace where nothing is missing and nothing is broken. You will live in the realm of peace when you walk in the things that God is teaching you. It doesn’t matter what you’ve been taught in the past, leave them behind. Let them be far from you as the east is from the west and embrace the truth from God’s Word concerning your healing. As you embrace and live by it, you will realise that you are perfectly healed from the crown of your head to the sole of your feet. What revealed the power and the glory of God was the cross Jesus died on. On the cross, His body was broken for you and that body removed every light af_liction so

Verse 54 tells us that He put them all outside because their cry of unbelief can affect His faith. They were all weeping and wailing.
