The other day I met a man with INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMORS. John (not his real name) made a commitment to Christ many years ago and has an ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE. We had a great conversation together. He is an amazing person. And I prayed for him.
When I read Matthew 10, I wonder about John. Wouldn't it have been wonderful if John had lived in Jesus days when He sent out His disciples to bring healing to people's lives. Matthew 10:1 (NLT) says "Jesus called His twelve disciples together and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and TO HEAL EVERY KIND OF DISEASE AND SICKNESS."
What about the man with the INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMORS. Will I pray for the SUPERNATURAL INTERVENTION OF GOD into his situation? Yes! Will he be healed? Jesus gave His disciples authority to heal EVERY KIND OF DISEASE? Does that cover brain tumors? Yes! DID EVERYONE THEY PRAY FOR GET WELL? It doesn't say, but they had the authority to heal in Jesus Name. Do I have that authority? All I know is that I have Jesus and I can trust in Him who has ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.
My responsibility is to pray and leave the rest to Him.
