“As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting
by the roadside begging. When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was
happening. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
He called out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on
me!”
Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be
quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to
him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?”
“Lord, I want to see,” he replied.
Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has
healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising
God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.”
Luke 18:35-43
Are you the answer to someone else’s prayer?
Jesus was time and time again.
Certainly the blind beggar knew this to be true.
He was no longer blind after his encounter with Jesus.
Why?
Because Jesus had pulled down the resources of heaven
and brought healing to him that day.
To live beyond natural limits what you need to do is
let your life be the answer to this prayer:
“Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
When you do this others will encounter heaven.
Jesus was moved with compassion for this man whom
others were trying to make quiet.
He was shouting his prayer request and Jesus drew from
heaven’s resources to answer his prayer and to cause others to glorify God.
What a life worth living!
Imagine the encounters each of us will have when we
learn to do as Jesus did!
Oh, and greater works too...
