Matthew 9:28-29

Jesus went inside, and the blind men went with him. He asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to make you see again?” They answered, “Yes, Lord, we believe.” Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “You believe that I can make you see again, so it will happen.”

Luke 5:13 — Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared.

Matthew 20:34 — So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

Luke 13:12-13

When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!

Matthew 8:2-3

Suddenly, a man with leprosy approached him and knelt before him. “Lord,” the man said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.” Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared.

Luke 14:3-4

Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in religious law, “Is it permitted in the law to heal people on the Sabbath day, or not?” When they refused to answer, Jesus touched the sick man and healed him and sent him away.

Mark 8

22 When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and they begged him to touch the man and heal him. 

23 Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then, spitting on the man’s eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, “Can you see anything now?”

24 The man looked around. “Yes,” he said, “I see people, but I can’t see them very clearly. They look like trees walking around.”

25 Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again, and his eyes were opened. His sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly. 

We are all blind. 

Mark 8:18 — ‘You have eyes—can’t you see? You have ears—can’t you hear?’ Don’t you remember anything at all?

Revelation 3:17 — You say you are rich. You think you have become wealthy and don’t need anything. But you don’t know that you are really miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked.

With spiritual apathy and blindness, the only reason we don’t have revival is because we are willing to live without it.

— Leonard Ravenhill 

The natural man is not only blind, but he loves his blindness; he resists the light because it exposes the things he loves in darkness.

— Jonathan Edwards 

The worst thing a man can do is to remain blind to his blindness.

— Charles Spurgeon 

At some point, if you want to see, if you want a miracle, if you want to change, you have to let God touch your life!

Jesus led him out…

What is God wanting to lead you out of?
