Good Morning! I am Kristina Crabtree Pastor of Mission and Evangelism at Central United Methodist Church.
Have you ever heard of Jesus healing a deaf man? If you have or if you haven’t, I encourage you to read that healing account in Mark 8:31-37. In the healing account, we have a man who is not only deaf but also has a speech impediment. The people begged Jesus to heal this man. Jesus then takes the man away from the crowd so that they could be alone. Then Jesus proceeds to heal the man, not just with a touch like many other healing accounts but by sticking his fingers in the man’s ears and then spitting on his fingers and touching his tongue. Instantly the man could hear and speak! But we hear this healing account and wonder if that could ever be real today. Did you notice who did the begging for this man to be healed? The people, not the man.

Do you know of anybody right now that can use the healing touch of Jesus? Pray for them right now! It was only by the people in the crowd begging that the man was healed. Or do you know of anybody who has prayed on your behalf? Give thanks to God today for those people who believe in the healing touch of God. Have a great day!
