Are you currently dealing with an area of weakness, frustration, or lack of fruitfulness? Healing, relationships, and finances seem to top the list with most of us. Some may be dealing with just one area whereas others are dealing with several. What is the solution? The only sure solution is found in Heaven and it is up to each of us to pull the solution out of Heaven and bring it to the earth. This can be challenging depending on where you are at in your walk.
In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus instructed us how to pray resulting in bringing Heaven’s solutions to earth:
5 “Whenever you pray, be sincere and not like the pretenders who love the attention they receive while praying before others in the meetings and on street corners. Believe Me, they’ve already received in full their reward. 6 But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to HIM in secret. And your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly. 7 When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like those who don’t know God, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words. 8 There is no need to imitate them, since your Father already knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray like this:
‘Our Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms,
may the glory of Your Name
be the center on which our lives turn.
10 Manifest YOUR Kingdom realm,
and cause YOUR every purpose to be fulfilled on earth,
just as it is fulfilled in Heaven.
11 We acknowledge YOU as our Provider
of all we need each day.
12 Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves
release forgiveness to those who have wronged us.
13 Rescue us every time we face tribulation
and set us free from evil
For YOU are the King Who rules
with power and glory forever. Amen.
Are there questions in Heaven? No. Is there sickness or disease in Heaven? Again, no. Is there lack in Heaven? None to be found. Jesus instructed us to pray the “substance” of Heaven to earth whether it be healing, finances, or solutions to other issues we are facing. There are no exceptions even though men through their worldly reasoning would have us believe there are.
We are to bring the nature and resources of Heaven to earth in all areas, none are excluded. There are no “but’s” or list of exceptions.
How often are we to set such an expectation? “This day or each day” means daily, not occasionally. Jesus implies here that we are to be diligent in this regard. It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:
6 But without faith it is impossible to please HIM, for he who comes to GOD must believe that HE is, and that HE is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM.
If FATHER rewards, then there must be some type of reward system. HE rewards us based on our faith and our diligence. Some would argue that FATHER is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34 KJV). These words spoken by Peter referenced salvation of nations, not blessings to believers. Oh how men try to rationalize their failure in receiving the benefits from FATHER!
What is diligence? It is “careful and persistent work or effort”. Is there a time restriction to being diligent? No. If you need to be healed, you must walk in faith by diligently seeking FATHER in the area of healing. It must become a revelation in your heart, not just your head. You must immerse yourself in FATHER’S promises to the point where The Word explodes in your heart and your healing is fulfilled.
How do I know? I have had to go through this specific process myself to the point where I will not be denied of FATHER’S reward. My sickness was life-threatening so I relied on the fact there were no exclusions in Jesus’ commitment to being Our Healer.
When you need healing, what else matters? Is there any greater priority? As for me, FATHER instructed me to immerse myself in HIS Word throughout each day. I did so until my healing was fully manifested. Am I special or unique? Absolutely not, my wife can attest to that. I was simply diligent in what I was instructed to do. We must be tenacious and not be denied for this is what great faith requires.
