Faith&Healing
Take this in for a little while.God is love, (1 John 4:16), full of compassion and mercy, (Psalm 86:15), no respecter of persons, (Acts 10:34), and does ONLY good, (Luke 18:19)!
God did not put sickness on you! It is His will for you to be healed. If you'll just let Him. (3 John 1:2) Beloved, I wish above ALL things that you may prosper and be in good health.
As believers, we all have some faith.
Rom. 12:3
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
So, even if our measure of faith is tiny, we still have enough. You at least have as much as a mustard seed, and look what you can do with that!
*There are many instances of healing because of faith in the Bible.
Matthew 9:27
The blind man asked Jesus to have mercy on him. Jesus asked him, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes Lord," he said. Jesus replied, "According to your faith it will be done unto you."
Acts 14:9
Paul saw that the man had the faith to be healed. So he said, "Stand up on your feet", and the man jumped up and walked.
Acts 3:16
By faith in the name of Jesus, this man was made whole. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through Him, that has given this man complete healing.
Luke 8:50
Jesus was telling the man: Don't be afraid; just believe and your daughter will be healed.
Regardless of how sick they were or what they were sick with, Jesus told them to have faith and he would heal them. Our healing comes by faith. Jesus completed His part, He died for us, He has forgiven our sins and by His stripes we were healed. Jesus has given us the authority to use His name in authority over "all things". He gave us the power to use His name to do everything He did. The name of Jesus is above ALL other names. (Philipians 2:9) Everything has a name, whether the name is cancer, sickness, depression, or whatever it may be, the name of Jesus has authority over it. The authority that the name of Jesus holds, gives our words power.
When we say we can't get healed, our words are already talking for us. Saying things like, "I hope I'll get better," "Maybe I'll get better," or "I'm not worthy of healing", is not walking in faith. Those are all negative things. We need to thank Him for our healing, speak positive words, rebuke satan, and stand firm until the manifestation comes. Don't let lingering symptoms discourage you. Your healing may be instant, but if not, don't let doubts arise just because you do not see immediate results. It may take time for you to feel completely healed.
*Want to know what to do in the mean time?Receive that your healing has already taken place, and praise God for it! Refuse doubt and unbelief, God's word is the final authority. Refuse to believe what you see or feel. Meditate on God's word. Submerge yourself in the truth of His Word so that it fills you up and overflows out of your mouth. (Luke 6:45) ...for, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Don't fear. Fear is an open door for the devil to come in and try to steal your healing and your faith. You have no reason to fear anyways. (1 John 4:18) ...perfect love casts out fear...
God wants His best for us NOW. Receive your healing NOW and stand firm until the manifestation comes. Give God His own timing, not yours, to do something with your circumstance. Don't let Satan talk you out of your healing. He has no right. Rebuke him, and tell him to take his hand off of you. By using our faith and Jesus' name we CAN win over Satan.
I LOVE YOU 8:23 AM
