Kelly had been suffering for years. Doctors were at a loss, and the endless cycle of treatments, medications, and hospital stays left her weary. Her faith, once a steady flame, flickered in the wind of uncertainty. But she remembered the words of Scripture, the stories of Jesus healing the sick, and she clung to them as her lifeline.
One night, in the quiet solitude of her room, she opened her Bible to the story of the leper who approached Jesus with a plea: “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Jesus’ response was clear and immediate: “I am willing; be cleansed.” Those words resonated deeply within Kelly. She realized she had never read of Jesus refusing anyone who came to Him for healing. Not once did He say, “I won’t.”
Kelly pondered this revelation. To ascertain the will of God, she needed to look to Scripture. And Scripture showed her that Jesus consistently responded with compassion and healing. This gave her a newfound confidence. She knew that for her faith to be scriptural, it had to be grounded in the Word of God. So she decided to stand on this foundation and pray with a renewed belief in God’s willingness to heal her.
The next Sunday, Kelly went to her church and requested prayer. The pastor and the congregation gathered around her. Kelly’s voice, though frail, was filled with conviction. “I believe God is willing to heal me,” she declared. “Just as He said to the leper, ‘I am willing,’ He says the same to me today.”
The pastor nodded, encouraged by her faith. He began to pray, not with a tentative “if it be Your will,” but with boldness and assurance. “Lord, we know You are willing to heal Kelly. We stand on Your Word and believe in Your promises. In the name of Jesus, be healed!”
Days turned into weeks, and Kelly’s condition began to improve. Her energy returned, the pain subsided, and the doctors were astounded by her recovery. Kelly knew it wasn’t just the medical treatment but the divine intervention that had healed her.
Kelly’s testimony spread through the church and the community. Many who heard her story began to search the Scriptures themselves, finding the same assurance she had. They saw that Jesus never turned away those who sought healing and realized that they, too, could approach Him with confidence.
One evening, Kelly spoke to a gathering of believers. “For years, I was uncertain about God’s will for my healing. But I’ve come to know that His will is clear. Jesus never said, ‘I won’t.’ He always said, ‘I will.’ Just as it is His will that none should perish, it is His will that we should be healed. We cannot base our understanding of God’s will on our circumstances or the outcomes we see. We must base it on His Word.”
She continued, “If you’re seeking God’s will, look to His Word. If you’re praying for healing, pray with the confidence that He is willing. Don’t settle for uncertainty. Stand on His promises. I did, and I am healed.”
Kelly’s journey from doubt to faith became a beacon of hope for many. Her story echoed a timeless truth: God’s will is revealed in His Word, and His promises are sure. The words of Jesus, “I am willing,” were not just for the leper; they were for Kelly, for her church, and for anyone who dares to believe.
