Faith That Heals
July 31, 2016
Sermon Notes—“Transformational Faith - Faith that Heals"
“We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.”
Colossians 1:28 (NIV84)
1. Divine healing is found throughout the bible. God is our healer.
26saying, “If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.”
Exodus 15:26 (ESV)
2. A common component of New Testament healing stories is FAITH in JESUS.
20And behold, a woman who had suffered from a discharge of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, 21for she said to herself, “If I only touch his garment, I will be made well.” 22Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, “Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And instantly the woman was made well.
Matthew 9:20–22 (ESV)
27And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” 28When he entered 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.” 29Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
Matthew 9:27–29 (ESV)
“What if I haven’t been healed, or my loved one wasn’t healed? Does that mean I lack faith?”
Some things to consider:
1.) All miraculous healings are TEMPORARY. Total HEALING is promised for all believers in the next life.
2.) There is no direct CORRELATION between an answered prayer for healing and a person’s LEVEL OF FAITH.
3.) God may choose to not heal someone because of their GREAT FAITH!
2And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. 3Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. 4And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” 5And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” 7And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
Acts 3:2–7 (ESV)
7So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (ESV)
Conclusion:
The Lord determines WHO TO HEAL to , WHEN to do it, and HOW it will be done.
But it will always EXALT Jesus.
Miraculous healing of sickness, disease, and infirmities are a sign that the kingdom of God has come. There’s a greater purpose than the healing itself.
What we can do while we wait for God’s healing:
CONFESS and REPENT of all known sin. Exercise wisdom in CARING for your BODY. Stand on His promises and keep asking, seeking, and knocking!
(Matthew 7:7)
