Bible reading: Matthew 8:1-end
The first step in receiving Healing is to believe that
Jesus is always ready to heal Matthew 8:3,7.
This principle is also true for receiving gifts or
answers to prayer. God himself said in Matthew 7:11 I am always ready to give
gifts to those who are ready to receive (Paraphrased). He is not Just giving it
he has already given us all that we would need, all we need do is accept and
claim it. In receiving from God we need to take a position so we will receive
in abundance. God is faithful, merciful and gracious. To understand or relate
with God we must come to him on his own (God's) terms
The Same Principle
The same principle of faith for salvation works for
healing.
We received salvation By faith even though we didn't see
we believed, likewise the baptism of the spirit was by Faith.
Without Faith it is impossible to please God, Faith is
the path conceived by God for the christian to flourish and succeed in every
endeavor, Faith is the No. 2 virtue of the spirit after love, Faith actually
makes us to function, Faith is the power to function. The challenge of most is
exercising faith in it's degrees, the faith is tested by time. But there is
good news, we can build faith.
How do we build faith?
Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God
Rom 10:17 there is no crime in being weak in faith. At a point all our faiths
will be tested and we might return weak, but there is good news faith can be
stirred, built and established, this happens by fellowship with God on the
particular issue.
Another Principle
Say It, It is with the mouth that confession is made unto
salvation. When we have prayed and sure that faith has been stirred, God would
have us say it. When you pray, believe that you have received what you have
said and then you will have it Mark 11:24 Sometimes it is as we say it that the
healing comes. Then God sees that we have come to believe the end of our
infirmity that we have obtained healing already. The power of God (Holy Spirit)
swings to action to bring what we have said to pass.
A New order
The surest way to receive healing is under the barn! We
christians are the luckiest because God made special provision for our healing,
Those of us who have a relationship with Jesus can be assured of healing all
the time. We our guaranteed healing each time we pray though things could delay
with patience we will definitely see results. It is those who are outside the
covenant I fear for.
Two ways!
There are two basic ways healing is administered but
there is only one way it is received and that is by Faith.
Healing is either administered By faith or By the
Anointing.
We are going to Highlight Matt 8: to extract how Jesus
administered healing
1.) Jesus is always ready and willing to heal Prove
Matthew 8:2-3 the leper said to Jesus if thou wilt Jesus said I will be clean.
2.)Then you need to activate faith, it is always
advisable if you are weak in faith to build faith and then when power intersects your faith healing occurs.
An example is d centurion in Matthew 8:5-13 who told
Jesus I'm a man under authority and I also know you control all the elements of
the world speak the word my servant will be healed, Moreover a gentile like me
is not worthy to receive. It would be inappropriate for your holiness to be
seen with me.
The Authority of God.
Like we just highlighted the centurion acknowledged and
believed in the authority of God. Greater is he that is in me. If God be for us
who can be against us, nobody...
Love(word of God)
How many master's would go outta their way to get the
servants healed. It was the persistence of this master that God the healing of
this servant. All he did was to act on the word, he believed on the word that
Jesus spoke he had confidence in Jesus and the words of his mouth. I'm sure he
must have being told the master might not come into your house, he prepared
himself beforehand to only act upon the word.
Questions are encouraged for better enlightenment.
Shalom!!!
