TEXT: "And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me" (Mark 10:47).

Let's continue today on the benefits of God's mercy.

2. Healing. We receive healing by the mercy of God. Everyone in the Bible who needed healing and cried for mercy received healing. As many as will cry to God today will still receive the mercy of God. The ten lepers cried, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”(Luke 17:13). He had mercy on them and they were healed but only one of them, a Samaritan, came back to testify of his healing.

In today's anchor scripture, blind Bartimaeus cried to Jesus, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" The Bible says when many warned him to be quiet, Bartimaeus cried out even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” (vs 48b). The outcome of that encounter with Jesus was the opening of his blind eyes. This happened because he persisted in crying aloud for the mercy of the Lord.

Luke 18:35-43 states a similar story without mentioning the name of the blind man whose eyes were opened because he persisted in crying for the mercy of the LORD. Also in Mark 9, the father of the boy, whom Jesus healed of deaf and dumb spirit, said to Jesus: “If You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us” (Mark 9:22). Jesus had compassion on him and healed the boy.

Beloved, you too can cry to Jesus for mercy right now. His mercy is still healing today. By His stripes, we were healed (1Pet 2:24). Believe God’s report concerning your healing and cry to God for His mercy; claim what Jesus did for you on the cross. Your healing shall manifest speedily. 

PRAYER: Every health challenge of your life is terminated by mercy today. Healing is yours, in Jesus name.
