Jesus hears

I made this blog yesterday to help me search more for Jesus healing the sick. Today, I have been given more to think about, I receive a reflection from my email subsciption of Kerygma family, it's about Jesus healing.

Is Jesus wonderful? when we search for him, he find ways to get back at us. I would like to share you the reflection I received today.

Healing begins when you submit yourself and let nature heal itself. Jesus, who is not only the Healer but the very Healing Himself, has power over everything that afflicts our human nature. When He stands over us, we lie at His feet. Lying at the feet of Jesus is surrendering our selves to Jesus. This is the beginning of healing. The Gospel today says that Jesus healed not only by standing over the sick. He touched them. He laid His hands on them and cured them. No one can be healed without being touched. Doctors have to check on their patients. Patients must allow their doctors to touch them if they want to get healed. It is unthinkable that the first thing a sick man tells his doctor is Do not touch me. While cancer cells do sometimes metastasize when touched, healing does not also happen without the miracle of human touch. The touch of Jesus is a miracle in itself.

To surrender our selves to Jesus means to allow Jesus to touch us. Submitting our selves to Him should give Him the freedom to do whatever He wishes to accomplish in us. But beware! Jesus may touch us where it hurts most. Will we be willing to be touched by Him no matter the pain? Do we really want to get healed by His touch no matter the hurt?

While fever of the body is an easy illness to cure, fever of the soul may be more difficult to nurse. But both can be healed. We really know how. But are we truly willing?

Jesus healing the sick

Most of the days when everything is good and fine, we tend to forget Jesus. I have read in an email saying Jesus is mostly kept when we are in trouble and when we need him. That's partly true with me. There are so much blessings I have received, yes I prayed and thanked Jesus for these blessings. But I realized that it is not the same when I prayed to him when I needed him.

My experience with Jesus was when I delivered my second child prematurely, my son Elison was in the ICU for a month, those were the long months of emotional and physical stress, and spiritual thirst. Wanting to know if Jesus will be there to heal. I had read Jesus healing the sick, that he is there for us if we just ask. Knock and the door shall be opened to you, ask and you shall receive, these are the words he has left us with. But there is a question if my son will make it or not, we just need to have faith.Now, my son is 7 months old, I am still praying for him to be a normal child, we still have to monitor him. The doctors found fluid in the lateral ventricles of his brain. I just pray that Jesus will include Elison in his healings, that these retained fluids will be gone on our next check up.
