Sounds like a weird question, but for Christ to be our example he had to have a pattern that could be followed.
The question that helps us find the pattern is this, "HOW MANY SICK PEOPLE DID JESUS SEE"?
Now the natural mind would immediately say thousands, because Jesus healed so many. However, the answer can't be found in the natural view point of the situation.
To answer the question, "how many sick people did Jesus see", the answer is, Jesus didn't see any sick people. What do I mean for healing to take place the focus has to be on the end result desired and not the present situation.
The bible says that we should walk by faith and not by sight. For us to do that we have to see e every person we meet as the perfection for which God called them to be.
You can never help a person as long as you can not see past were they are. When Jesus healed the lame man, the told him take up your bed and walk. In other words, get up and do what you were created to do. Notice he never acknowledged the man's problem. I can not recall one incident were Jesus acknowledged the sickness, he only said what should be.
He would not even acknowledge that death was present. In one story, when referring to death, Jesus said, he is only sleeping.
If God is going to be able to use you to heal anyone in any capacity you have to see people from the "end result", and give no energy to were they are.
