My faith is in GOD’S ability to heal and restore to wholeness!
I am convinced that nothing is impossible for Our Heavenly Father to accomplish.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 4:
13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,
When you say what you think GOD is going to do, it changes the atmosphere. The atmosphere is now prepared for your faith to operate.
Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Exodus chapter 33:
13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”
The Amplified version expands:
13 Now therefore, I pray you, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways so that I may know You [becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with You, recognizing and understanding Your ways more clearly] and that I may find grace and favor in Your sight. And consider also, that this nation is Your people.”
FATHER, teach me YOUR ways! Understanding HIS ways will take us from curiosity to faith.
Further:
18 Then Moses said, “Please, show me Your glory!”
Healing is one way GOD glorifies HIS Name.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 17:
11 Now it happened as Jesus went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.
13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well (sozo).”
The word sozo means: to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health. The leper who expressed glory to GOD was made whole whereas the others were only healed but not fully restored. Giving glory to GOD made the difference!
The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 5:
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
Hope is future-oriented whereas faith is laying hold in the present. There is a measure of faith, there is great faith, and there is the gift of faith. Faith requires hearing The Word of GOD, whether spoken or in print.
Mark wrote by The Holy Spirit in Mark chapter 10:
46 When Jesus and His disciples had passed through Jericho, a large crowd joined them. Upon leaving the village, they met a blind beggar sitting on the side of the road named Timai, the son of Timai.
47 When he heard that Jesus from Nazareth was passing by, he began to shout “Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me now in my affliction. Heal me!”
48 Those in the crowd were indignant and scolded him for making so much of a disturbance, but he kept shouting with all his might, “Son of David, have mercy on me now and heal me!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him here.” So they went to the blind man and said, “Have courage! Get up! Jesus is calling for you!”
50 So he threw off his beggars’ cloak, jumped up, and made his way to Jesus.
The beggar had a Word of knowledge, and he would no longer need to be marked as a beggar. He knew that Jesus was about to heal him.
51 Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The man replied, “My Master, please, let me see again!”
52 Jesus responded, “Your faith heals you. Go in peace, with your sight restored.” All at once, the man’s eyes opened and he could see again, and he began at once to follow Jesus, walking down the road with him.
The beggar knew that he knew that his healing was at hand. His faith was activated. Let us also walk with our faith being activated.
