Jesus is fully God and fully man. Jesus chose to fore go the powers of God that was in Him to demonstrate to us the way to rely fully on God for everything we do and need. Jesus healed people not by His powers as God, but by the powers of God the Father. Jesus was not limited, but he did limit him self.
19 So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
(John 5:19-23, ESV)
By Jesus' example we learn what it is to truely submit to the will of God. We go before God through Jesus, with the power of the Holy Spirit. Any breach in the chain of command limits the blessing God has in store, whether it be healing, financal blessing, marriage restoration, reunion, or a number of things. We must be willing to listen when the Spirit speaks.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. (John 16:13, ESV)
Just remember, God is with you today and talks to you. He walks with you through all the joy and struggles of your life. All you need to do is ask Him and he will reveal the truth. It may not be when you want it and it may not be what you want, but he will answer.
