Mark 1:40-44 Jesus Cleanses a Leper
40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”  Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.  And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Mark 1:40-44 The Lord’s Willingness to Heal; DIVINE HEALING
Here Jesus declares His willingness to heal the sick.  Some insist that we must always preface our prayer for healing with, “If it is Your will.”  How can one have positive faith who begins a request with an “if”?  We do not pray for salvation with an “if”.

The leper was certain that Jesus was able to heal him; he was not sure that it was His will. But Jesus’ response settled that question: “I am willing; be cleansed.”  May we not be certain that it is the Lord’s will to do that for which He has made redemptive provision?  At the same time, one cannot intentionally be living in violation of God’s will and expect His promises will be fulfilled.  Where biblical conditions for participating in God’s processes are present, they must be met; but let us not avoid either God’s readiness or God’s remedies by reason of the question of His willingness.  “If it is Your will” is more often an expression of fear, a proviso to “excuse God of blame” if our faith or His sovereign purposes do not bring healing.  If His will is questioned, leave the issue to His sovereignty and remove it from your prayer.

Our faith may be weak or incomplete in some regards.  We, in fact, may not be healed at times, which should never be viewed as reason for condemnation (Romans 8:1).  Nevertheless, in all things, let us praise Him for His faithfulness and compassion.  This is a great environment for healing to be realized and is consistent with the Scriptures, which reveal Jesus as willing to heal.
(Matthew 8:16, 17/Mark 5:24-34) Nathaniel M. Van Cleave
 

Mark 5:24-34
So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.  Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians.  She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.

27 When she heard about Jesus she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.  For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”  Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of  the affliction.  And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”  But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?'”

32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing.  But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.  And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well.  Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

FROM THE KINGDOM DYNAMICS PORTION OF THE SPIRIT FILLED LIFE BIBLE :
5:24-34 The Place of Persistent Faith, DIVINE HEALING.
This passage relates the account of a desperate woman whose healing was the result of great and persistent faith.  Her illness made her ceremonially unclean and disqualified her for mixing with crowds of people, yet she was certain that “if only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well” (v. 28).  Jesus did not rebuke her, but delayed His mission to the home of Jairus, whose daughter was dying, in order to assure her of healing and salvation.

Jesus later raised Jairus’s daughter from the dead, but here He took time to minister to one with positive faith.  That such persistence is rewarded is not to suggest healing or any other work of God is earned by human effort.  It rather illustrates the need to be bold in what we believe — to not be deterred by circumstance or discouraged by others.  “All things are possible to him [or her] who believes” (Mark 9:23); and they all are by God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8,9).
(Mark 1:40-45/Mark 9:22,23) Nathaniel M. Van Cleave

Mark 5:35-36
35While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”  36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid, only believe.”

Study Bible application: In Mark 5:36 The importance of faith in the midst of crisis is underscored (Mark 4:40, Mark 5:34)

Study Bible application: In Mark 5:30-34 Jesus desires to perfect the woman’s faith and to lead her to a public confession of faith.  He rewards her testimony with the assurance that she can go in peace.

Prior to verses 22-23 a father was asking for help/healing for his son who had a mute spirit tormenting him.

Mark 9:21-23 So Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him.  But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”  Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

From my study bible the Spirit Filled Life Bible:
Mark 9:22 The inability of the disciples had weakened the father’s faith.
Mark 9:23 “if you can”: The question can be understood, “Is that what you said?” Jesus’ exclamation picks up the doubting words of the father.  The question deciding the issue is not Jesus’ power, but the man’s faith.  The Lord’s statement concerning faith does not grant us the liberty to presume upon God’s goodness by irresponsibly asking for selfish things. Our desires must be in accord with God’s will.  See 1 John 5:14,15.

Mark 9:22-23 CULTIVATING A CLIMATE OF FAITH FOR HEALING; DIVINE HEALING
In this passage Jesus tells us that “believing” is the condition for answered prayer for a healing. The father of the demon-possessed boy answered in tears, “I believe,” then added, “Help my unbelief!” Since faith is a gift, we may pray for it as this father did.  Note how quickly God’s grace answered; but there is another lesson. Where an atmosphere of unbelief makes it difficult to believe, we should seek a different setting.  Even Jesus’ ability to work miracles was reduced where unbelief  prevailed (Matt. 13:58).

Prayer and praise provide an atmosphere of faith in God. In this text Jesus explained yet another obstacle to faith’s victory – why their prayers had been fruitless: “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting” (Mark 9:29).  His explanation teaches: 1) some (not all) affliction is demonically imposed; and 2) some kinds of demonic bondage do not respond to exorcism, but only to fervent prayer.  Continuance in prayer, accompanied by praise and sometimes fasting, provides a climate for faith that brings deliverance.  (Mark 5:24-34/Luke 5:16-26)  Nathaniel M. Van Cleave

Mark 11:22-24
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly , I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

FROM THE KINGDOM DYNAMICS PORTION OF THE SPIRIT FILLED LIFE BIBLE :
The positive lesson to be learned from the cursing of the fig tree is the power of believing prayer.  A mountain is symbolic of an obstacle, hindrance, or insurmountable problem.  Faith is the key that releases the resources of heaven into our situation.

Kingdom Dynamics on Mark 11:22-24
Jesus on “Faith’s Confession”
From Jesus’ own lips we receive the most direct and practical instruction concerning our exercise of faith.  Consider three points: 1) It is to be “in God.”  Faith that speaks is first faith that seeks.  The Almighty One is the Source and Grounds of our faith and being.  Faith only flows to Him because of the faithfulness that flows from Him.  2) Faith is not a trick performed with our lips, but a spoken expression that springs from the conviction of our hearts.  The idea that faith’s confession is a “formula” for getting things from God is unbiblical.  But the fact that the faith in our hearts is to be spoken, and thereby becomes active and effective toward specific results, is taught here by the Lord Jesus.  3) Jesus’ words “whatever things” apply this principle to every aspect of our lives. The only restrictions are (a) that our faith be “in God” our living Father and in alignment with His will and word; and (b) that we “believe” — not doubting in our hearts. Thus, “speaking to the mountain” is not a vain or superstitious exercise or indulgence in humanistic mind-science, but instead becomes an applied release of God’s creative word of promise.
(Matt. 15:7-9/Acts 3:6)Roy Hicks
Mark 11:22-24
Your Faith in God is the Key to Your Receiving, SEED FAITH.  Believing can take opposite forms. It can be faith or it can be doubt.  When you believe that God exists and that He loves you and wants to meet your needs, then your believing creates faith in your heart.
On the other hand, doubt is just as real. The reverse of faith, doubt tells you that God does not exist or that He is unloving and uncaring about your needs. Doubt gives rise to fear, which brings torment, not peace. Fear actually keeps you from receiving the good things God desires to send your way. Capture this truth: Doubt, and do without; with faith believe, and receive. I have said for years, “Expect a miracle!”
Expectancy opens your life to God and puts you in a position to receive salvation, joy, health, financial supply, or peace of mind — everything good your heart longs for and more!
(Mal. 3:10, 11/Matt. 25:34-40) Oral Roberts

Mark 11:25-26, Forgiveness and Prayer
25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 “But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

FROM THE KINGDOM DYNAMICS PORTION OF THE SPIRIT FILLED LIFE BIBLE :
Mark 11:25-26 A condition of prevailing prayer is a forgiving spirit (see Matt. 6:14-15).
