It’s easy to forget the source of your water when all you see is the pipe. The key to a constant flow of healing is a focus on the presence of Jesus the Healer!
The love, forgiveness, and supernatural life of healing and miracles that Jesus demonstrated in the Gospels is what we are to be demonstrating now in our lives, as we continue what the book of Acts started!
Jesus said to go into all the world, and you’re His representatives. Where you go, He goes. Even as He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). That doesn’t mean that we’re Jesus, it means we represent His power. If you can’t present His power, then all you’re giving the world is another philosophy!
If you have believed that Jesus came and gave His life for you, and that you are forgiven of your sins and will spend eternity with Him, then you have all the faith you need to heal the sick and raise the dead! ALL things are possible with God!
You are not bound to be the person you were in the past. If Jesus is your Lord, the old you is dead and you are now a resurrected person — a new creation — with the potential of God in you!
It doesn’t matter how long you have been in ministry or how long you’ve been studying the Bible, the Word of God can become like stale bread if you allow it to lay dormant in your heart!
Changing your location has nothing to do with your prosperity. It’s possible to be poor in a wealthy society, and it’s also possible to prosper in a poor society. You can prosper in the midst of adverse conditions where everyone else is failing, just as Isaac did when he obeyed the Lord! “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous” (Genesis 26:12-13).
Faith is BELIEVING when all apparent indicators tell you that things are not possible! Faith is KNOWING that regardless of what your body or your circumstances may be screaming at you, GOD has a different verdict for your situation!
Scripture says we are to “love others as we love ourselves” (Mark 12:33 author’s paraphrase). Maybe the reason some people treat others so harshly is because that’s how they feel about themselves. They don’t see themselves as good enough or worthy enough, so to them no one else is either. When we comprehend the gospel we see that God loves us! He loved us so much that He gave His own Son to die for us!
God created us in His image with dignity and purpose. He created us to experience His love. He has entrusted us with His authority and only requires one thing from us—that we believe and trust His words to us!
