Unveiling Our Heritage of Divine Health in Christ, Part 3
The Mystery of Faith Connecting us to Divine Healing
Isaiah 53:1 (KJV)
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
You can never see healing until you have finished believing.
Luke 1:45 (KJV)
45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Your faith must be completed. Performance of the Lord is premised on a believer who believed. We don’t call you a believer for nothing. Even for witchcraft to work they must believe in their wickedness, you better believe in the things of the Kingdom of Light. You can never reach the end of your faith, you have to keep growing in faith. Even God creates with faith.
Satan is the master cause of sickness. The Word is the master antidote to sickness. Faith is the master key to our healing, it defines the limit to divine healing virtue in our life.
Matthew 9:28-30 (KJV)
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
Before Jesus could even lay hands on them, He asked if they believed. Again he tells them its according to their own faith that they will be healed. Not according to Jesus’s virtues but their faith. There is no miracle too big for God when you allow your faith to come alive.
John 11:40 (KJV)
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Lazarus was dead but faith that was alive brought him back to life.
Matthew 14:30-31 (KJV)
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Faith causes you to sail through the challenges of life. If you study the Word, you see that no healing miracle happened without faith:
1. Woman with the issue of blood
Luke 8:48 (KJV)
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
When you walk in genuine faith you become a son or daughter of God. So many people touched Him at that period but no virtue left Him, however when faith touched Him something left Him. Faith has the capacity to touch Jesus.
2. Woman from Canaan
Matthew 15:28 (KJV)
28 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.
3. Paralytic Man
Mark 2:5 (KJV)
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
4. Blind Bartimaeus
Mark 10:52 (KJV)
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
James 2:14-15 (KJV)
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
It’s not in the length of time you pray but the quality of faith you have while praying. The more faith people have the shorter their prayers seem.
Mark 11:24 (KJV)
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
A prayer of healing must have faith alive before healing can manifest.
James 1:6-7 (KJV)
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
The issue is not asking, it’s asking with faith.
Faith: It is taking spiritual steps in light of the scriptures thereby committing God to perform in any situation. It is not cheap talk. Faith is action. Taking a scripture and moving with it.
James 2:19 (KJV)
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Even the devil believes, what makes you different is to believe and act. If you believe for finances give and tithe. If you can’t give, you are showing you have no faith that God can give you back.
Luke 6:38 (KJV)
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
You will never lack what you give, you lack what you are stingy with.
James 2:17-18 (KJV)
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
If it’s dead it’s 0 and anything multiplied by 0 is still 0. If there is no works there is also no faith.
James 2:20 (KJV)
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
Any faith with no actions is dead!
Romans 4:19 (KJV)
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
Don’t worry about symptoms.
Hebrews 11:7 (KJV)
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
If your faith is alive the symptoms don’t even move you.
2 Thessalonians 1:3 (KJV)
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
Faith has to grow. Why should your faith for this year be the same as last year?
Romans 11:33 (KJV)
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Only a shallow man thinks he has arrived. Never allow yourself to arrive when it comes to the things of God.
Faith is in levels and we develop it by the quality of nutrition of the Word you take in.
Romans 10:17 (KJV)
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Matthew 4:4 (KJV)
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
When your spirit man is strong your faith is also strong. Even the level of your tongues should change as you grow in the Word.
Jeremiah 15:16 (KJV)
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
The Word is for eating. Darkness measures you by the level of your spirit man. You don’t have to boast, they just know. Many confuse noise with power.
