Do you want to be healed? Jesus makes really curious interactions with people. In John 15, a man who was lame for 15 years has been waiting by the pool of Bethesda for healing. When He came, He asked him the, well, obvious question. But it was more than a question that can be answered with yes (or no), it us something more than meets the eye.
Yes, it is what we wanted. That's why we come to our faith of healing, as we come to Him. We wanted to be healed but when He asks us His outrageous question, are we ready with the cost of changes-- from an incapable us, invalid me, to a capable and healed me? Have we thought of the responsibilities of what a healed person would have?
Many of us has been captive of our old self, of how it used to be, how we are for the longest of time--that when we are asked of the question if we wanted to be healed, are we willing to accept the life far beyond we know of and used to.
Am I willing to sustain the healing thats going to come after?
Are we willing to change our perspective to a new one after healing?
Are we willing to changes? To my new definition?
Are we willing to let go of our self-pity to new responsibility?
Am I? I am willing. I am not yet there, but I know God is working in me. I know I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me (Phil 4:13) and He who began the good work in me will carry it on to completion (Phil 1:6).
