Jesus the Healer: The Power of His Touch and the Faith to Believe | S2 Ep23 (2025)

Send us a text

In this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, we reflect on the gentle, powerful healing touch of Jesus. Whether you're praying for your own healing or interceding for someone you love, this message is for you. Jesus still heals, and His compassion has not changed.

We explore intimate moments in Scripture where Jesus touched the sick—and they were made whole. From Peter’s mother-in-law to Jairus’s daughter, every healing was personal, intentional, and complete.

📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
Jeremiah 17:14 – “Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.”

Matthew 8:14-15 – Jesus touches the hand of Peter’s mother-in-law and the fever leaves.

Mark 1:29-31 – He lifts her up and she immediately begins to serve.

Luke 4:38-39 – Jesus rebukes the fever, and she rises whole.

Matthew 8:26 – He rebukes the storm—just as He rebukes sickness.

Mark 5:35-42 – Jesus says, “Be not afraid, only believe,” and raises Jairus’s daughter with the words: Talitha cumi.

🕊️ In this episode, I encourage you to:
-Picture Jesus standing over your situation.
-Let Him into the room of your need.
-Intercede with faith—because your prayers matter.
-Believe that His healing is not partial, it’s whole and immediate.

Just like He took the hand of a sick woman, or stood over a lifeless child and spoke life, Jesus is still doing it today. He moves in compassion. He responds to faith.

🙏 I close this episode with a prayer for healing—for you, for your loved ones, and for the miracles only Jesus can bring.
