🎤 Spoken Word Reflection: “According to Your Faith”

You reached through blindness, not with sight but with belief,  

And He touched your eyes — not just to heal, but to reveal.  

Not magic, not merit, not method — but faith.  

Faith that dared to cry out,  

Faith that refused to be silenced,  

Faith that believed He could.

“Do you believe I am able?”  

He asked — not to test, but to invite.  

And when you said yes,  

He didn’t just restore vision —  

He honored your trust.

According to your faith —  

Not the crowd’s, not the priest’s, not the past’s.  

According to your faith,  

He moved.

So let your faith rise —  

Not in your strength, but in His sufficiency.  

Not in your record, but in His mercy.  

Not in your clarity, but in your cry.

Because He still touches eyes.  

Still honors belief.  

Still says —  

“According to your faith… be it done.”

🙏 Prayer of Faith and Healing

Lord Jesus,  

You see the places where we cannot see.  

You hear the cries that others overlook.  

Touch our eyes, our hearts, our hopes —  

And let Your healing flow according to our faith.

Grow in us a trust that reaches for You,  

Even when the path is unclear,  

Even when the answer delays.  

We believe You are able.  

We believe You are willing.  

We believe You are near.

So we receive — not by sight, but by faith.  

And we thank You for every touch,  

Every whisper,  

Every miracle that flows from Your mercy.

In Your name,  

Amen.
