Mark 1:40-42 40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
The dilemma of the Leper was, he was not sure if Jesus’ Will was to heal everyone that was sick, so he asks the question of Jesus “If You Will”. And Jesus moved with compassion (empathy, concern, kindness) replied “I Will” letting him know that it is definitely his will to heal him and he healed him. Settle this in our own Faith, it is Gods Will to Heal, Deliver and Save (make whole)
The Church World need not ask this same question with doubt and skepticism if it is Jesus’ Will because we know it is, we need to settle that at the very start.
Jesus did say go and lay hands on the sick and they will recover, so I suppose we should ask rather then not ask. You have not because you ask not!
