Mark, chapter 1, verses 40 to 42 say,

Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

This is the only time in Scripture where somebody asks Jesus if He is willing. So the leper knows He can do it, but he is not sure if He will do it. That’s where many Christians are today. They ask, ‘Is Jesus willing to heal me?’. We read that “Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, I am willing; be cleansed.”

Is Jesus willing to heal me on some days or all days?

Note that the Scripture above does not say, ‘I am willing today because it’s Tuesday, or ‘I’m willing tonight because it’s Thursday night.’ Jesus is willing all the time. So when we see the leper come to Him and ask Him specifically, ‘I know you can do this, if you’re willing?’ He doesn’t have the assurance in his heart, and Jesus didn’t even rebuke that lack of faith. His mercies are new every morning. This is a good word for somebody reading this!

His mercies, His compassion are new every morning. They don’t fade. They don’t get old. So if He will do this for the leper, who wasn’t even sure, He’ll do this for you. In fact, He’s already done this for you. He’s done this for me. This is such a powerful, powerful revelation here! Even in the face of this man’s uncertainty, the compassion of Jesus was more than enough. Jesus was willing to heal the leper. Jesus demonstrated to the only person that ever asked this question in the New Testament, He demonstrated His will. Yes, and amen.

“I am willing; be cleansed.”

Can you see that Jesus is willing to heal you?

Yes, it’s for you and it’s for me. We need His healing, the mercy of God in our lives. It’s time to get this settled in our hearts that we need His compassion and that healing is for everyone. So if you’re asking, ‘Is Jesus willing to heal me?’, well, do you see that He is in your heart? If you’re a believer, do you see yourself as forgiven and righteous? Are you clean before God? If the answer is yes, and it should be if you’re a believer, that means sickness has no right in your body. You can get up and walk or do what you couldn’t do before.

• Is Jesus willing to heal me?… Yes…See it
• Is Jesus willing to heal me?… Yes…Receive it
• Is Jesus willing to heal me?… Yes…Believe it

You can be healed, and God’s healing is for you. His healing is not based on you, but rather it’s based on God’s compassion, His willingness, and His forgiveness.

In the psalm above, it talks about, ‘Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.’ Forgiveness and healing are always linked together. Why? Because the fruit needs a root. Sickness needs an authority, and sin is its authority. If we deal with sin, we’ve dealt with sickness.
