By THE SPIRIT it is written in Hebrews chapter 11:
1 Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
People walk in faith every moment of their lives. Every breath trusts in the fact that air which cannot be seen is there for us to inhale. Every heartbeat occurs by faith. We have faith that the opposing traffic will stay in their designated lane. But most of all, let us have faith in Our Heavenly Father WHO framed the worlds with HIS Word. Let us have faith in the Words of Our Lord Jesus Christ which were spoken in response to hearing FATHER. Let us have faith in the acts of Jesus which reflect FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
The list of those who obtained a good testimony was not from one time period. We will be included as “elders” as we walk in the same manner. The key to faith is hearing FATHER. The key to hearing better is to Love as FATHER. The key to Love is dying to self. Each of those listed had to overcome obstacles in their lives and not accept man’s wisdom. They had to look beyond their physical senses and what the world deemed as “permanent” in their situation.
Today, men place their faith in the healthcare system which has become a trillion dollar industry in the U.S. alone. However in Matthew chapter 9:
27 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”
28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”
30 And their eyes were opened
In Mark chapter 5:
25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years,
26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.
27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment.
28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”
29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”
31 But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”
32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing.
33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.
34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
Do you believe the above passages to be true? If we will immerse ourselves in HIS Word and HIS Presence rather than placing our trust in a temporary, ever changing world system then we should begin to see results in a similar fashion. Jesus did not criticize the woman for spending twelve years under the physicians’ care. Until our confidence in HIS Word exceeds our confidence in the current system, we must get relief of any symptoms as necessary. Rejecting healthcare in a presumptuous manner will not force FATHER to heal. True faith will bring forth healing and that comes by hearing HIS Word.
