INCREASE
YOUR FAITH FOR HEALING
Lack of faith
hinders healing, so you need to increase your faith for healing. It is not
necessary to be a person with great faith, just a person with a little faith in
a great God. Faith is believing God
will heal you, not can heal you. Satan believes God can heal, but
wants to keep from you the truth that He will.
Your own
faith is not an absolute necessity for healing. It is desirable, but not a
prerequisite to healing in every case. When Jesus ministered healing, there
were many who were healed who could not have faith. Some of them were dead.
Some were healed because of the faith of a friend or relative who brought them
to Jesus.
Your faith is
just one channel of healing, but because it is something God uses, it is
important to develop it.
Healing faith is not:
1. The faith
by which you are saved.
2. The
"faith of our Fathers."
3. Faith in
your own faith, the response of your faithfulness, ie., "I'm doing my
part, now you do yours.
Healing faith is:
1. The
substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
2. Expecting
God to do what He has promised.
Healing faith can be:
1. Faith of
one who prays.
2. Faith of
one who seeks healing.
3. Faith of
friends.
4.Faith of
relatives.
Faith for healing
comes from hearing the Word of God about healing. Relating experiences will encourage your
faith, but only hearing the Word of God increases your faith. Isaiah begins the
redemption chapter with "Who has believed our report?" To believe the
report, they must hear it. Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing the Word of
God. "Word" in this verse means "the specific sayings of
God" which--in the case of health--would be the passages that concern
healing.
Jesus did not
condemn people about their level of faith. He encouraged them and increased it
with the Word. Believe when you pray (Luke 11:24). Many do not get their
prayers answered because they have hope (future) instead of faith. Faith
"IS" means it is present. During the period between your prayer and
the manifestation in your physical body, look to God, not symptoms.
