Paul embraced the Great Commission and ministered healing in the same manner as Jesus even though he never saw Jesus heal in His earthly ministry. Paul believed the Words of Jesus, so should we. In Acts chapter 14:
8 And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked.
9 This man heard Paul speaking. Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10 said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked.
The man heard Paul speaking the Word and the Word brought forth faith in him. Can you imagine the reality of this man being crippled from birth hearing Paul speak of the power of the Word of Life being able to heal and restore? This man had never walked in his life yet his faith became greater than the physical situation he found himself in. His faith was energized by the Word Paul spoke and FATHER opened Paul’s eyes to see the faith of the man. Paul observed the man intently!
Suddenly the man’s bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments all responded to the command. There is no way in the physical realm for this to naturally occur for his feet were surely shriveled up in a minimal fashion yet that did not impede the power of FATHER’S Love for the man to energize those cells in his body. The natural must submit to the supernatural.
I am sharing these passages that your faith may be energized as well. The world would have you believe that its pharmaceuticals are the only solution to your problem even though they only mask the symptoms and bring forth no permanent cure. The world would have you believe that cancer is the “kiss of death” and you must follow their protocols of “cut, burn, and/or poison” to add a few years to your life. It is time we trusted in FATHER rather than man and remove the unbelief instilled in us by the world. HIS Word will purify us and remove the spot and blemish brought on by the world’s way.
Peter and John operated in the same power and anointing. In Acts chapter 3:
1 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour..
2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;
3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.
4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.”
5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God.
10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
If you don’t expect the supernatural, it will not come forth. Let these passages minister to you to the point where you truly believe and trust in FATHER’S willingness and desire to heal all. It takes faith on behalf of someone whether it be the recipient of the mature Son. Let faith be in full operation as we go forth.
