Matthew 12:22-23
22Then one who had been demon-possessed was brought to Him, blind and dumb. And He healed him, so much so that the blind and dumb one both spoke and saw. 23And all the people were amazed and said, Is not this the son of David?
MKJV
Insights
  • The text implies here that the man's condition of being blind and dumb was due to the man being demon-possessed. The root cause of most sickness and disease is demonic, I am not denying the physical, that is how it manifests. But instead of only treating the physical symptoms, we need also to take our authority in Christ and address the spiritual. Knowing that: the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy, John 10:10.
  • The man was brought to Jesus perhaps the man did not even have the ambition or the motivation to take this initiative himself. Praise God for other people that will help us when we fail or cannot take care of ourselves.
  • Yet when Jesus saw him, He healed him, (no questions asked). God wants us well and He will take every opportunity that we present to Him to do such.
  • The entire multitudes was amazed: Even though people brought the sick and oppressed to Jesus and they were expecting healing, they were still amazed when supernatural healing occurred. This tells us that the people were still thinking carnally, For if we believe God's supernatural Word, we should then expect great signs and wonders from His supernatural Word.
