…as you have believed, so let it be done for you…

Matthew 8:13

BELIEVE FIRST AND YOU WILL SEE

You may have heard some people say, “How can I believe it when I don’t see it? If I can
only see it or feel it, I may just believe that something is happening!”

The woman with the issue of blood who came to Jesus could have felt the same way. For
12 long years, she had gone from one doctor to another, trying every conceivable cure they
could offer. She not only grew worse, but ended up losing all her money to those doctors
and their “cures.”

Then, something happened to her when “she heard about Jesus” (Mark 5:27). She started
believing that He could and would heal her to the extent that she said, “If only I may touch
His clothes, I shall be made well” (Mark 5:28). Acting on her belief, she made her way to
Jesus and touched His garment. Immediately, her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body
that she was healed of that affliction. Jesus, her true physician, also pronounced her
healed.

Beloved, God wants you to know that when you believe Him, you will see your miracle.
What you believe Him for, you will receive.When a church member lost her wallet at a
swimming pool, she prayed together with her husband, declaring their belief that God would
restore the loss. One day later, not at the swimming pool but at her feet in the car, she
found her wallet! She simply believed that God would restore her loss and she saw the
restoration.

In another case, a lady who had skin cancer wore long sleeves all the time to conceal her
condition from others. During one of our church camps, she went forward for prayer,
believing God for her healing. After one of our pastors, Pastor Henry, prayed for her, she
went back to her room, rolled up her sleeves and saw that all the cancerous scarring on her
arms had disappeared! Her doctor later confirmed that she had been cured of skin cancer.
She believed God for healing and saw it.

The world says, “Unless I can see it or feel it, I will not believe it.” But God says, “If you will
believe it, you will feel it. Indeed, if you will believe it, you will see it!”
