Consistent time spent in the WORD while allowing the HOLY SPIRIT to guide and direct you increases your faith. Since faith alone pleases the FATHER He will keep you in perfect peace until He comes again. The triune Godhead is kind and merciful and wants no one to perish…not one person! Seek him and you will find him.
Trust Him to get you where you cannot go yourself!
Jesus again cites someone’s faith in relation to healing. Jesus heals through the power of the Holy Spirit… mentally, physically and most importantly spiritually.
Note the irony in this verse. The blind man recognized who Jesus was, the Son of David, more clearly than many people who were blessed with physical sight. The blind man’s cry for mercy demonstrated his belief that Jesus had the power to heal him.The gracious work of God led to praise, not only from the one who was blessed but also from those who saw the blessing. NKJ Bible.
Luke 18:35–43 (NKJV)
35 Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Then those who went before warned him that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him, 41 saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”
42 Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.” 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
