Every time we confess our doubt and fears we deny the ability of God’s grace, and are giving place for the devil to take hold.

If we want to know what is in a person’s will, we read the will. If we want to know the will of God on any subject, we must read His will!

Many people fail to receive what they pray for because of lack of understanding about confession. The word confession in the Greek language means “saying the same thing.”

This means we are to believe and say only what God says about our sins, sicknesses and everything else included in our redemption. When our affirmation is the Word of God, He watches over it to make it good.

There is no better way to understand the will of God than by reading the gospels. The life of Jesus was a revelation and a manifestation of the unchanging love and will of God. He acted out the will of God for us!

The reason some fail to receive their healing is because they believe what their five senses tell them instead of believing the Word of God.

Jesus gave Peter power to walk on water, but the devil took it from him by getting him to fix his attention on the wind (representing things we feel) and on the waves (representing things we see). Peter had the power and used it, but lost it by doubting.

Faith is the most rational thing in the world, because it is based on the greatest of facts and realities. It sees God; it sees Calvary where disease and sin were cancelled. It sees the promises of God and His faithfulness!

All the devil heard from the lips of Christ when tempting Him was “It is written,” and the devil left Him. Whose report are you going to believe, the report of the Lord, or the devil’s lies?

Our faith moves God into action, so start praising God and begin thanking Him for being healed and delivered. Instead of listening to the devil and his lies, make him listen to you praising God for His promises!

Faith never judges according to the sight of the eyes, because it is the evidence of things not seen but promised. Faith rests on far more solid ground than the evidence of the senses—the solid ground of the Word of God. Our senses may deceive us, but God’s Word abides forever!

The practice of medicine is a blessing of the Lord given to us by God, and I encourage you to pray for your doctor. Pray that he or she would have wisdom in working with you, but remember, we are not to accept the doctors’ report as the final report. Instead, believe the Word of God that proclaims, “By His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
