Topic: God Says "YES"

Text: "…I will; be thou clean…I will come and heal him"
(Matthew 8:3,7).

Have you ever noticed that when people came to
Jesus with their needs, He never turned them
away or gave them no for an answer? When they
sought Him for healing, He always gave them an
emphatic “yes!” In Matthew 8:2-13, when both
the leper and centurion came to Him, Jesus
responded to their requests for healing by saying,
“I will!” You don’t find any account in the Bible
when people came to Jesus for healing or
deliverance that He told them no. That is
because Jesus came to do His Father’s will (see
John 6:38). He came to reveal the heart of the
Father though the things He did (see John 14:9).
Acts 10:38 says, “How God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth…who went about doing good, and
healing all….” Jesus’ actions were a
demonstration of the Father’s will for people.
Jesus has not changed; through the power of
Calvary’s cross, He is still revealing the heart of
the Father just as He did on the shores of
Galilee (see Heb. 13:8). The needs of people
today are no different from those back in the
days of the Bible. We are mistaken to think God
only healed and delivered people back then, but
then stopped that kind of activity today. The
Bible is our example, and from it we see that
God’s heart for you is to be completely well and
supplied for. So go to Him with your need today;
He is saying, “Yes, I will!”

PRAYER
Father, I thank You that Your will for me is
healing and deliverance. You are more than willing
to supply my needs, and You demonstrated
through Jesus that You are saying, “Yes, I will!” to all my needs.
Thank you Lord
In Jesus’ Name, amen.
