Introduction
Fullness of Christ
Ephesians 4:11-13
11It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Fullness in Christ
Colossians 2:9,10
9For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority.

Jesus Heals the Blind
Matthew 9:27-31
27As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!" 28When 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. 29Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you"; 30and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this." 31But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.
1. Son of David
2 Samuel 7:15,16 15 But my love will never be taken away from him,(David) as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.' "
Seventeen verses in the New Testament describe Jesus as the "son of David."
From the line of David will come an everlasting kingdom. Calling Jesus the Son of David is a way of saying, “You are the messiah.”
It references his kingly identity as well.
Matthew 1 gives the genealogical proof that Jesus, in His humanity, was a direct descendant of Abraham and David through Joseph, Jesus' legal father. The genealogy in Luke chapter 3 gives Jesus' lineage through His mother, Mary. Jesus is a descendant of David, by adoption through Joseph, and by blood through Mary. Primarily though, when Christ was referred to as the Son of David, it was meant to refer to His Messianic title as the Old Testament prophesied concerning Him.
Jesus Christ, the only son of God and the only means of salvation for the world, is also the son of David, both in a physical sense and a spiritual sense.
2. Jesus keeps on Walking
The blind men call to Jesus while he is walking and he keeps on walking. Then when he gets indoors the blind men keep following him. How long did this happen? It’s impossible to tell but we can see that Jesus isn’t caught up in the urgency of the moment.
3. No offence
The blind men don’t get offended at Jesus for walking away from them.
4. A question & an Answer
Jesus then asks the two blind men, “Do you believe I am able to do this?”
The men answer in the affirmative.
5. A touch
Jesus touched their eyes.
6. A phrase
According to your faith will it be done to you.
Jesus gives the faith of the blind men as the reason for their healing.
7. The Results
Their sight was restored
8. The Focus of Jesus
Jesus had his focus on his 12 disciples. He’s not trying to build a big following. If he was he would’ve told the blind men to spread the news far and wide. But he instead told them sternly not to tell what had happened.
Jesus heals the Mute
Matthew 9:32-34
32While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus. 33And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
34But the Pharisees said, "It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons."
Can’t talk
2. The source of the problem
A Demon
3. The Solution
Jesus drives out the demon.
4. The Crowd
Amazed
Conclusion
Let’s walk in the God ordained and deputized authority we’ve been given in Christ. As we operate in this authority via revelation knowledge I believe, according to the authority of the scriptures, we’ll see healings and deliverances like we’ve never seen before.
This healing and deliverance will facilitate evangelism and we won’t have enough room to contain the people.
