The Importance of knowing God’s will through His Word

Mark 11:22-24 You cannot say without doubting if you do not have the Word on the matter. This is why generic prayers never work because there is no Word to back them up. The power is in the faith that the Word of God unleashes!

Faith comes only through the Word of Christ

Romans 10:17 (AMPC) So faith comes by hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the preaching [of the message that came from the lips] of Christ (the Messiah Himself).

Acts 14:8-10 (NKJV) 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.

1 John 5:14-15 What does the Word say about Healing? 

Healing in the Word:

Exodus 15:26 Healing in the first covenant

Exodus 23:25-26 

Deuteronomy 28:58-61, Galatians 3:13

Isaiah 53:4-5, Matthew 8:16-17

Matthew 4:23

Matthew 8:3

Matthew 14:14

Matthew 12:15, Hebrews 13:8 Everything that Jesus did before He is still doing today

Matthew 15:22-28

Acts 10:38

Mark 16:18

1 Peter 2:24

Healing and salvation are received the same way: by faith. You cannot earn your salvation, and so you can not earn your healing (Ephesians 2:8). Faith is the door to enter the Grace room, where salvation is sitting on the table for you freely. It is also on this table that healing waits for you. The meal is made, all you have to do is come and eat!

The promise is for YOU

All of God’s promises in Him are yes, and in Him amen, to the glory of God through us (2 Corinthians 1:20)

Thankfulness keeps the door of faith opened so you can receive all that God has done, where unthankfulness locks it shut Luke 17:11-19

 Every one of the lepers was cleansed, but only 1 received the creative power of God at work to restore what the leprosy had utterly destroyed

By faith this man and the other 9 called on the name of Jesus and were cleansed; by faith the one remained in the power of God and continued in that healing 

Thankfulness is the voice of faith. Thankfulness is the only appropriate response for a guarantee that what has been promised will be delivered upon. 

1 Corinthians 12:9-10 There are different kinds of healing, and healing is different from the working of miracles altogether. The gifts of healings are as He wills, so it can 

Anytime that the creative work of God is involved, there is a miracle. The miraculous can be seen in a number of ways (such as Jesus calming the sea, or feeding the 5 thousand), but where a person’s health and body are concerned, a miracle re-creates destroyed parts of  the body or creates what should-have-been but never was.

Thankfulness shifts your focus from your inability onto God’s ability

Israel: an example of unthankfulness 

When you see what God has done, thank Him for it! Stand on the Word 

2 Corinthians 1:20 this promise is for you! Will you receive it?
