Since we have been talking about faith and healing, let me share this:
Faith, hope, love
Without faith, there is no hope and love. When our faith gets stronger, our hope and love grows too. Many exaggerate and overdo the faith part and also many do the cool unbelief mode, being casual. Satan is aiming us to be in one of those exaggeration to ruin us. Ok, if we did not focus on developing our faith, we will not grow spiritually. Jesus made these strong statement about faith, about cultivating it:
Matthew 8
Jesus said to the centurion: To the measure you believe that’s how you are going to experience
When Jesus touch the blind man: In the measure of your faith that how it happens to you
Faith need to be intentionally cultivated, speaking to our situation about our situation and that is how we grow faith. Our faith respond is also the relational part of God touching us. Jesus mentioned IF you engage in the faith response (persistently) Matthew 17, if you will engage, nothing will by means be impossible to you. (According to God’s will, no guarantee, it has condition) we need to respond our faith consistently. Nothing will be seem impossible, even though they is delay, as long as we maintain in our faith.
Matthew 21:23
This will only happen when God has spoken to you about the mountain moving, when God indicate that the mountain will be moved. It will happen. If you can believe everything (in the will of God) for your life…. The enemy is always warring against our faith, it distracts us because the enemy wants us not to grow in faith. We need to cultivate the prayer of faith. We will experience more kingdom blessing, Jesus if we believe for more. If you believe very little, you will experience very little. Big breakthrough=big belief
We receive our prayer in 2 different ways. The spiritual and natural realm. Healing is promised, given in the spirit, which God is the healing God but sometime it will not show in the natural. What I mean is we will have a glorious, healed, resurrected body in the age to come. No matter how much healing is given in this age, we will still die. But remember we will be fully healed in the age to come, resurrected body. Healing is guarantee and what we should be contending for in the age to come, don’t look at it in this age only.
Matthew 21:23, the only way when you can speak to a mountain for it to move is with faith, with the indication of the Holy Spirit (God’s will). You are going to have it, if you stay in this. Jesus says, whatever thing you ask, believe you will receive. Meaning you persistently believe you will receive them (in the realm of the spirit). The only way to receive it in the nature is when it is in the written words.
Hebrews 11:1
Faith is the substance you are hoping for, you hope for it because it is in the written word because you have that sense that God has promised this to you. You have the evidence, substance in your heart already. You need a title deed, in order to move in the house. God gives us the title deed to move in (in the natural). The clarity (through the written word), then you engage with God in the natural (in faith) by thanking Him. Maybe you have healing and you need more, you engage in faith, thanking is ours in the spirit and natural (regardless of delay) because God wants us to engage with Him in the mean time. Declare to God, thank Him that He has given you the title deed in your heart. The reason why God needs this dialogue not to confuse us but for relationship with us. Our conversation will grow in the waiting process because God is a relation God, He is not remote. He wants the conversation with us.
Faith is more than humanistic positive thinking. It is not faith in man ability but faith in God’s ability, it is not psychological. Biblical faith teaching is very relational. Also not the exaggerated type of ‘I don’t believe because I don’t want disappointment’ that type. If you really believe, you keep thanking God for what He has given you in the spirit and hoping in the natural. (not guarantee)
There is no bible verse that says you will go to where and where (university, job, audition, wedding etc). Don’t believe something not in the word, will of God. Is not a random thing that comes to your desire, doesn’t mean if you keep saying and saying, then healing etc will show up. (I used to think that way…which is wrong). You can still ask, but don’t have that assurance….you will only get them if it is really in God’s will.
Verbalise your request to the father (James 4)
Many think, complain about it, but they don’t make the request or say it to God. He can still give us things we don’t ask for but God is looking for conversation, interaction with our heart and that’s what the asking is all about. When the prayer is answered, God wants us to remember that it is between you and God <3
If in in God’s word, God will say yes and give it to us in the spiritual. If we ask according to God’s will, we can have confidence He hears us. God hear every request in the technical sense. What I mean here is God approves of it. We will receive all spiritual blessings the day we are born again, authority etc. We can thank God for the spirit and then hope and believe in the natural. We need to believe we receive it and staying engaged in believe. Mark 11:24 Jesus says, whatever thing we ask, believe, persistently stay engaged in it. The devil plan is to get us overwhelmed with fear, to lose sight of them, lose out of the conversation with God. Stay persistently engage with God with confidence.
We remind the Lord of His word and ask with persistent. Isaiah says put God in remembrance. Believe it will be release in the natural realm in an increase measure. When we remind God not because He forgot. He wants the conversation and interchange with us.
Is ours in the spirit first then we receive it in the natural (greater measure). Don’t be confuse whether you have it, don’t have it, see it don’t see it. Ephesians 6:8 Paul calls us to pray with perseverance. Being watchful with all perseverance. We pray etc ‘ God, release that provision you have promised, but I’m asking you to release it in the natural etc.’ We are not earning or persuading God, but we wants to connect with God’s heart. God will always answer prayer with faith according to His will. God is a God of relationship, is a completely wrong image to think of prayer as trying to earn something from God. We can trust our prayer to be answered in God’s timing and way. Don’t be discourage if is delayed. It will show up and answered if we pray believing and according to His will. 90 sec prayer matters, don’t wait for an hour to pray. 90 sec is important, do that throughout the day! Jumping and shouting in church is cool but doesn’t mean God will definitely answer. Prayer is not about feeling. Even when a prayer meeting is dead, not lively, God will answer if it is in agreement with Him.
Abraham is 75 years old when God promised him descendent. Abraham 75, Sarah 65. God promised Messiah through them. And you need a son to do that for descendent, right? Problem is the promised did not happen for 25 years. The child is born when he is 100. But why didn’t God tell him when he is 99? Why 75? This is what perseverance counts. Weak but not weak is faith prayer (meaning stumble and not fall), God will see the heart. Abraham did not consider his body, deadness of his body and deadness in Sarah’s womb. Abraham kept thanking and giving glory to God, that is how His faith is strengthen that what God said will come to pass. He is fully convinced that what God promised, He is able to make it come to pass. There might be some things that we have waited for years, this is normal in the kingdom, because God wants interaction.
About should we ask God to strengthen our faith, yes we MUST. Because this is vital. Does ‘natural’ healing happens all the time, ‘no’ but God does promised a spiritually healed body.
