And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened (Mark 7:33-34).
Consider how the Lord ministered healing to the deaf-mute in our opening scripture. When you study the Gospels, you’ll notice that He ministered to people in different ways. In Matthew 12:13, when He healed a man with a withered hand, He said to him, “… Stretch forth your hand…” and when the man obeyed, his withered hand was restored. The Master didn’t need to physically touch the man; He only spoke to him.
In some other instances, He used more personal and physical methods to bring healing to people. For example, in Luke 18:42, He told a blind man, “Receive your sight,” and his sight was restored. Similarly, in John 9:6-7, the Lord spat on the ground, made clay with the spittle, anointed a man’s eyes with it and instructed him to go wash in the Pool of Siloam. Consequently, his sight was restored.
Even though the Lord didn’t always minister in the same way to everyone, one thing was constant: He ministered to them by and through the Spirit, despite their unique conditions or cases. It’s the same today. He sent us to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils and raise the dead, and we do these by the Spirit.
We know by the Spirit when all we’re to do is merely speak words, lay hands, or do something unique or specific as prompted by the same Spirit. In the Healing School, for example, that’s what happens. When I step up to minister to someone, oftentimes, I see by the Spirit, a quick vision of what I’m to do, either before I approach the person or right when I’m standing before him or her. This is through the gifts of the Spirit.
It’s different from ministering solely through faith. In that case, you may have to preach a message and act your faith together with the individual, and that’d produce healing through your mutual faith. But the key is being in the Spirit; being full of the Spirit: “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).
CONFESSION
Thank you, Father, for the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life; I function by the Spirit. I walk in His visions, promptings and blessings. My spirit is sensitive, and my faith is active. I minister in your Name with boldness and divine direction, bringing healing to the sick and blessings to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
