Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, for she said to herself, &#8220;If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.&#8221; Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, &#8220;Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.&#8221; And instantly the woman was made well. When Jesus came to the leader&#8217;s house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion, he said, &#8220;Go away; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.&#8221; And they laughed at him. But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. And the report of this spread throughout that district. As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, crying loudly, &#8220;Have mercy on us, Son of David!&#8221; When he entered the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, &#8220;Do you believe that I am able to do this?&#8221; They said to him, &#8220;Yes, Lord.&#8221; Then he touched their eyes and said, &#8220;According to your faith let it be done to you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HEALING FAITH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>______________ Jesus\u2019 power over life and death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John 5:24<\/strong> \u201cI tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>______________ to reach out in desperation to Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>___________ Jesus having the ability to restore full vision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Power to Heal Faith = conviction of the truthfulness of God espec.: reliance upon Christ for salvation and consistency in professing that reliance.
