…Become What You Believe
What you believe drives and shapes how you live your life.
Believe your an eggplant and you’ll be living in a padded room. believe you’re nobody, and become invisible, even abused. Believe in the cross of Jesus Christ and become everything He intended.
He touched their eyes and said, “Become what you believe.” It happened. They saw. Then Jesus became very stern. “Don’t let a soul know how this happened.” But they were hardly out the door before they started blabbing it to everyone they met. Matthew 9:29–30 MSG
To be totally clear, the blind men in this verse weren’t healed because they believed. That would mean that Jesus actions were controlled by the blind men’s whims and desires.
Make no mistake, Jesus is fully God, fully sovereign, omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. In no way did the blind men’s beliefs heal them, Jesus did. However, it was their beliefs that drove them to ask Jesus to heal them.
The difference between thinking their belief alone healed them, or that it caused them to go the source of their healing, Jesus, is light years apart.
