It is very important that we are aware of our posture and the manner in which we pray. Mark 1:40-45 gives the account of the man with leprosy. A person was considered an outcast, unclean, and in today's terms, had the cooties. The Greek word for leper is LEPRAS (a dreaded skin disease that affects the nerves of the extremities, the skin, the lining of the nose, and the upper respiratory tract). If left untreated, it can cause dismemberment and disability. Everywhere the leper went, people yelled, "UNCLEAN, UNCLEAN!" A leper had to remain a MINIMUM of SIX FEET from others. A person with leprosy had to be cast outside the gates. Like the man with leper, we have developed spiritual leprosy in that we have been ostracized, ridiculed, considered a second class citizen, subject to scrutiny, lied on, mistaken for a witch or a warlock because of the anointing or whatever your personal testimony is. This is how we should posture our prayer:
1. The leper approach was in FAITH, BOLDNESS, and in DESPERATION! " " If you are willing, can you make me clean?" We know Jesus can answer our prayer and we leave it up to only Him to do so!
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man and said, "I AM willing!"
Immediately, the leprosy left him! Jesus is touched with the feelings of our infirmity.
Our struggle is not can Jesus can do it, but will He do it for us!
JESUS IS SAYING: " I AM, I CAN, I WILL!"

God can do the impossible. No matter what others say or do He keep His promises.
