A Simple Command

I was reading in the amazing book of Matthew this evening and I stumbled upon something I did not realize was in the bible because it's not something we usually look for. In Matthew Chapter 8 verse 16 the bible is speaking about how Jesus was healing the sick and casting out demons, (You know, the regular Christian life) and it says "That evening many demon-posessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a SIMPLE command, and he healed ALL the sick." This stood out majorly to me! Sometimes when we are about to pray for the sick depending on what kind of sickness it is we might pray "as hard as we can". Let's say we were praying for a girls father and He has terminal cancer spread throughout his whole body and he does not have very long to live, Some of us might pray the most fancy hardcore prayer we can think of, because this is a "big deal". But Jesus prayed a SIMPLE command! We need to look at who is inside of us and see that He is more powerful then Cancer, Demon Possession, and Death! If we can grasp the simplicity of the finished works and the simplicity of a child's prayer before the child goes to bed and pray like that towards sickness we would turn over the world! WE WOULD EMPTY HOSPITALS!

Remember the story about the girl who's dad had terminal cancer, yeah that was real. At church we laid hands on this girl praying that her father would be healed. But the funny thing is that we did not travail and pound on the floor for healing and pray "If it is your will" in doubt or do any of the fancy prayers, no we just prayed a SIMPLE COMMAND that the cancer would leave! Guess what.....IT DID! He was completely healed! We didn't have to be in the room with the man we just prayed a simple prayer. We need to in vision Jesus writing in the sand like a Child like He did when he saved the woman caught in adultery. If we just pray and believe that sickness will leave, it will. It has no estate on people! If we pray like little children we will usher in healing and do what God wants to do through us, like the prophet Isaiah prophesied "He took our sickness and removed our diseases."
