In every example of Jesus healing a person the effects were immediate and complete. It was not a matter of "give it time the healing will come." These are the kind of words often heard spoken by modern-day faith healers.  

We know that God is longsuffering and patient toward man's response to Him even though our response to God's commands should be immediate. In the examples of conversions in the Acts of the Apostles we find that the response to the preaching of the gospel was immediate.  One man, with his household, were baptized sometime after midnight (Acts 16:31-33). The man of Ethiopia was baptized immediately after hearing a sermon about Jesus (Acts 8:31-38). Saul of Tarsus was asked, "And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord." (Acts 22:16). In his conversation with King Agrippa, Paul in relating his conversation story said, "Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision." (Acts 26:19).  

By comparing Jesus to modern-day faith healers (as they are called), we see a marked contrast between actual healing and feigned healing. What should be immediate, without delay, is our response to Jesus' commands.
