Finding faith in Jesus Christ

To those who don't know I'm continuing my education online to finish my degree. I'm taking a religion class right now and it's great! This week I learned about faith. I completed the table and I learned so much!

Matthew 8:1-4
Miracle:  Cleansing of leprosy
Who had Faith: The leper had faith to be healed. This is how it is today. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can heal us.


Matthew 8:5-13
Miracle: Healing of palsy
Who had faith: The centurion who was Roman had faith enough to say to Jesus, just speak the words that he will be healed and he will.  He didn't need to see the miracle. He knew it would happen if he asked in faith. That's powerful!

Matthew 8:14-15
Miracle:Sick with a fever
Who had faith:Peter and his mother-in-law both showed great faith. Christ only touched her hand and the fever left her.

Matthew 8:16
Miracle:Those that were possessed with devils
Who had faith:It takes faith and courage to come to the Savior for help.


​​Matthew 8:23-27
Miracle:Calming the winds and the sea
Who had faith:The disciples were afraid of perishing in the storm. Only after Christ calmed the sea did they have more faith in Him. We know this because it says, "but the men marvelled..what manner of man is this.."

Matthew 8:28-34
Miracle:Casting out devils
Who had faith:The men that were possessed with devils had faith enough to be healed. I know it sounds weird but it almost sounds like the devils had faith enough to be cast out.

Matthew 9:20-22; Mark 5:25-34
Miracle:    Issue of blood
Who had faith:This woman had great faith. She had faith enough to believe that if she could only touch His clothes that she would be healed.

Matthew 9:27-31
Miracle:Give the blind sight
Who had faith:Two blind men knew that Christ could heal them. He asked, "Believe ye that I am able to do this?" and they said yes.

Mark 2:1-12
Miracle:Sick with palsy and forgiving sins
Who had faith:The family who brought the man, the man sick with palsy and I think even the men who were questioning Christ gained faith.

 In today’s world a lot of people only believe what they can see and touch. We have to exercise faith in Christ that these miracles can still happen and still help us. It’s hard when the world is pushing you to believe the opposite. I remember the first blessing that I got when I was a freshman in college. Talk about testing my faith. That was also my first healing blessing. I wasn’t sure if it was going to work. It was past curfew so I didn’t have access to go get what I needed to feel better. The R.A. allowed to have a friend come and administer to me. With all my might I prayed to have enough faith to be healed. It worked! I think about that time everytime I read about Christ’s miracles. I’m still in awe of the power of faith. It really can move mountains.
