29 As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30 Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 31 The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 32 Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. 33 “Lord,” they answered, “we want our sight.” 34 Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him. (Matthew 20:29-34)
Here we see that when the Lord Jesus left Jericho, two blind men by the roadside shouted loudly for the Lord Jesus to have mercy on them and heal them. The Lord Jesus was moved with compassion and healed them.
The Lord Jesus not only healed the sick and cast out demons, but also gave his disciples the authority to heal and cast out demons. When the Lord Jesus sent out the twelve disciples and later sent out the seventy-two disciples to preach the gospel, he gave them the authority to heal the sick and cast out demons. The Lord Jesus not only healed the sick in the Biblical time, but he is still healing the sick now. I have heard many testimonies of the Lord Jesus healing the sick now.
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” (Mark 16:17-18)
Here the Lord Jesus said that signs will follow those who believe, they will lay hands on the sick and they will get well. The Lord also led me to pray for the sick, and some of the sick were healed by the Lord.
The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name. (Luke 10:17) However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” (Luke 10:20)
The Lord Jesus sent seventy-two people out to preach the gospel, heal the sick and cast out demons, and the demons submitted to them, but the Lord Jesus said: Do not rejoice because the demons submit to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven. I hope more people will believe in the Lord, be baptized, be born again and be saved, and have their names written in heaven.
May God bless you and your family!
