Creative Healing
Creative Healing
“And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue.” Mark 7:33
God is full of surprises, and he loves to heal in ways you would never expect. It is easy to forget that our Father is a creative God with unlimited creative ways to trigger healing.
One day a deaf man with a speech impediment was brought to Jesus, and they asked Jesus to lay hand on him. Apparently, laying hands on someone was the normal, typical way of activating healing. Jesus, however, took a radically different approach.
Rather than praying for him in public, Jesus took him away privately. Sometimes God wants to heal us in private.
Rather than laying hands on the man, Jesus stuck his fingers in his ears. Jesus then spit. Then he touched the man’s tongue.
Are you kidding me—whoever heard of such a thing!
Obviously, Jesus knew that Father God wanted to trigger healing in this man’s body through a creative, never-done-before means.
As you seek Christ for miraculous healing today, don’t be surprised if he invites you to take a creative, more unconventional, approach.
Loving Father, I humble myself before you today. Forgive me for trying to put your healing methods in a box. Show me how you want to trigger my healing in Jesus name.
