Introduction

She said, “That’s all there is to it?”
I said, “That’s it. Jesus already did the hard part.” Didn’t He? He bought it. He paid for it. He
bore your infirmities. He carried your pains.
She said, “Okay.”
I went on teaching. I wasn’t waving my hands and preaching real fast, and there was no fast
organ music. I was just teaching.
At the end, she came up and said, “Look.”
I said, “What?”
She said, “The whole side of my body has been paralyzed. I haven’t been able to use that hand. I
couldn’t pick up anything with it.” She said, “Look! Look!” as she opened and closed her fist.
We shouted. We praised God. Nobody prayed a prayer for her. Nobody laid hands on her, but
she got touched. What happened? She had asked, “Does that mean I just believe I take it right
now, and I have it?” I had told her, “That’s what it said,” and she said, “Okay.” Some would say,
“It can’t be that simple.”
How did you get born again? It wasn’t by jumping off of a building. It wasn’t by quoting the
whole Bible. What was it? How long did it take? You believed you received Jesus into your heart
and your life. You believed God raised Him from the dead, and you confessed with your mouth,
“Jesus is Lord.” Well, if that’s how quick an old creature can become a new creation in Christ
Jesus, which is a much, much bigger miracle than a physical body having some repair work done
on it, then the same principle will work getting healed.
He said, “Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, ‘Yea, Lord.’ Then touched he
their eyes, saying, According to…”
My ability
? You might think He would have said that, asking
them that question, but He didn’t. Then,
according to the will of God
…? No.
Some say, “Well, maybe that’s not what it
said
, but everyone
knows
it’s just up to His will.”
Don’t change what Jesus said with your theories and opinions. Do you know that Jesus could
have said whatever He chose to say right here? He could have said, “
Then according to the will
of God...
” He could have said, “
Then according to the power that’s on Me...
” Couldn’t He have
said it? “
Then according to Me being the Son of God...
” He could have said any other things that
would have substantiated some of these folks’ doctrines, but He didn’t. What did He say? “Do
you believe I’m able to do this?”
They said, “Yes.”
He said, “Then according to your faith be it unto you.”
