Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Then Jesus turned to her and said, 'Your faith is incredible. You're getting exactly what you asked for.' And right then and there, her daughter was completely healed.
When your faith is that real, God notices and moves immediately.
