SCRIPTURE

“And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. And Jesus said to him, What do you want me to do for you? And the blind man said to Him, Rabbi, let me recover my sight. And Jesus said to him, Go your way; your faith has made you well. And immediately he recovered his sight and followed Him on the way.” —Mark 10:50-52

“And he said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” —Luke 7:50

I have news for you: your problem is not your problem.

Whatever mountain you think stands before you—the sickness, the lack, the heartbreak, the delay—none of these are the real issue. The true battle is always only one—faith.

You may have said for years, “Jesus is my Saviour.” But have you ever stopped to ask yourself what that truly means? Not as a phrase, not as a creed, but as a reality that governs your life experience? As a defence against the dysfunction, chaos and suffering in the world?

The extent of your faith governs the extent of your experience of salvation.

Both of these encounters—the blind man in Mark 10 and the woman in Luke 7—reveal a spiritual law: faith is the difference between life and death in every realm of your existence.

Jesus did not say, “My power has saved you.” He said, “Your faith…” has saved you.

Salvation (sōzō) in Greek means to make whole, to restore to health, to preserve. Salvation, therefore, is not rescue from a distant danger but restoration into divine order today.

Answer me this: if faith is not a sentiment but a power that determines your experience of all that is on offer by the Saviour, what are you going to do to increase your faith?

If you increase your faith, you can increase your experience of salvation: this wholeness and healing on offer.

He is not holding out on you. His hand is open; you’re just not receiving what is freely on offer.

PRAYER OF UNITY IN CHRIST

Lord Jesus,
teach me to cast off the cloak of begging,
and dress in Your robe of righteousness.
Let my faith not be mere words but movement.
Where I have lived by sight, teach me to see by faith.
Where I have accepted a false identity,
Let my faith become the fabric of my being,
woven with grace, sustained by Your mercy.
I rest in Your salvation—made whole, made new, made Yours.
Amen.
