Todays Message:
Divine Healing No Magic Formula
They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him
Jesus asked, Do you see anything?
He looked up and said, I see people; they look like trees walking around.
Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.
Jesus sent him home, saying, Don't go into the village.
Three saying you probably can not trust: The check is in the mail

You do not have, because you do not ask
You have not received because you ask with wrong motives

Sometimes God heals: Instantly Progressively Through medications
Sometimes God says My grace is sufficient
