WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Mark 10:52 NKJV So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.”

Can you imagine the scene? Crowds of people thronging around Jesus, and off at the side of the road is this blind beggar shouting at the top of his voice, calling out to Jesus, trying to get His attention. The more the crowd tell him to shut up the louder he gets. He doesn’t care what people think of him, he wants to talk to Jesus! 

It’s obvious he’s blind and he wants healing, and yet Jesus asks him what he wants! We may think our need is obvious to God and that He’ll just do something about it when He wants to, but Jesus is showing us a principle here. We have to say what it is we want God to do for us.

The man was very specific. He said, “I want to receive my sight.” He was taking ownership of his sight before he had it. “My sight”. Instead, most of us take ownership of whatever our ailment is. How often have we heard ourselves say, “My cough is getting worse, my condition is no better!” 

But that sickness is not ours, it’s something the devil is trying to put on us to try to make us take it, to own it, but it doesn’t belong to us! God never gave it to us. We know there is no sickness in God’s kingdom of light because if there was, it would be no different to the kingdom of darkness! We pray ‘Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven.’ Is there any sickness in heaven? Thankfully, we know there isn’t, because it’s not God’s will for there to be sickness!😊

Rather we can be laying hold of our healing and saying, “Lord, by faith I receive my healing, my wholeness, my peace in this situation”. We can do that because Jesus paid for it all at the Cross and legally it all belongs to us already, because we are ‘In Christ’, who has no sickness, and it’s part of the blessings which we’ve already been given, part of our inheritance. That’s good news.😊

Glory to God! Thank You Jesus. Amen.
