"As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, calling out, 'Have mercy on us, Son of David!' When He had gone indoors, the blind men came to Him, and He asked them, 'Do you believe that I am able to do this?' 'Yes, Lord,' they replied. Then He touched their eyes and said, 'According to your faith will it be done to you;' and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, 'See that no one knows about this.' But they went out and spread the news about Him all over that region." Matthew 9:27-31 (NIV)
After Jesus had raised the dead daughter of the ruler, and after He had healed the woman who had the issue of blood for twelve years, two blind men followed Him. The blind men called out to Him saying, "Have mercy on us." Jesus asked them if they believed that He could heal them. Then Jesus said, "According to your faith will it be done to you;" and their sight was restored.
Like the two blind men, we must ask The Lord God for what we want, we must be persistent with our request, and we must believe that He can and will do what we ask of Him. He can hear our prayer requests. (Psalms 6:9, Psalms 66:19, and Proverbs 15:29) We must believe that He will reward those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6) The two blind men first followed Him, and then they were tested before they were blessed. Some blessings are only for believers, and the blessing and the testimony only come after the test. Some things we must first believe in order to receive.
