Healing School

In this episode Justin explores Biblical teachings on faith, healing, and opposition to the gospel, focusing on Luke 13:10-17 and Acts 14:1-9. He recounts the story of Jesus healing a woman on the Sabbath, despite opposition from synagogue leaders who prioritized rules over faith, illustrating how such resistance can undermine belief. Using examples from Acts, Justin highlights how unbelief can poison minds, yet faith enables miraculous healings, as seen in Paul’s ministry. He encourages believers to hold fast to faith, assuring them that the Holy Spirit seeks out those ready to receive healing, despite opposition.

In this Healing School session, Justin underscores that God’s word, as exemplified in scriptures like Psalm 107:20, has the authority to heal and restore order, as it upholds all things and carries divine power. Justin encourages believers to place their faith in the word, take risks based on its promises, and act in obedience, even in the face of challenges, as illustrated by his personal healing experience with a herniated disc. The session aims to inspire listeners to trust in God’s word, reject erroneous teachings, and pursue healing through faith, action, and scriptural alignment, supported by testimonies of healing through this approach.

In this episode of Healing School, Justin delves deeper into the concept of "The Forgiveness of Faith," emphasizing the critical role forgiveness plays in enabling effective faith, particularly in the context of prayer and healing. He explains that faith is energized by love, and unforgiveness, which violates the law of love, hinders the power of faith. He shares compelling examples, including a story of a man with cancer whose healing may have been impeded by unforgiveness, and references studies, such as the Cancer Treatment Centers of America's forgiveness therapy track, to illustrate the physical and spiritual consequences of unforgiveness.

In this session, Justin introduces Psalm 107:20, highlighting that God's word has the power to heal and reset any situation. The main topic revolves around faith, specifically how it operates through love, as stated in Galatians 5:6. Justin explains that faith is energized by love, drawing from the Greek word "energeo," which implies power, expression, and action. He stresses that love is the foundation that fuels faith, enabling believers to receive God’s promises, such as healing, which cannot be earned but must be accepted through faith.

Justin further explores the connection between faith and love by referencing Matthew 22:37-40, where Jesus outlines the two greatest commandments: loving God wholeheartedly and loving others as oneself. He ties this to Romans 3:27, suggesting that the "law of faith" depends on these commandments being fulfilled in the correct order—God first, then others. He warns that reversing this priority disrupts faith’s effectiveness. Using Mark 11:20-25, he illustrates the prayer of faith, which requires knowing God’s will and maintaining a heart free of unforgiveness. Justin concludes with a call to forgiveness, titling the message "The Forgiveness of Faith," urging listeners to check their hearts for bitterness to ensure their faith can operate fully, promising to continue the discussion in a future session.

They came to hear and to be healed of their diseases. Luke 6:18

In this episode of Healing School, Justin delves into scriptures like Isaiah 52 and 53 to argue that Jesus was made sick and bore diseases as a substitute for humanity, thereby providing a foundation for believers to claim their healing. Justin explains that just as Jesus was a substitute for sin, he also was for sickness and disease, drawing a direct connection between Christ's atonement on the cross and the deliverance from physical ailments. He challenges any skepticism about healing by suggesting that it is as much a part of the gospel as salvation is.

In this episode of Healing School, Justin emphasizes the importance of faith and scripture in the context of healing, asserting that God's will is for all to receive healing. He refutes common misconceptions about God willing sickness and highlights the role of faith in manifesting healing. Through scriptural references, he stresses that Jesus healed all who approached Him, encouraging viewers to actively seek healing and trust in God's promises. The episode also touches upon misconceptions in the church regarding healing and the power of prayer.

In this session of Healing School, the focus is on understanding God's will regarding physical healing as revealed in the Bible. Justin discusses the importance of faith, the nature of sickness as related to spiritual oppression, and the assurance that God desires to heal His followers. Through various scriptures, he emphasizes that sickness is not from God and highlights Jesus' mission to heal and deliver people from the enemy's grasp. He encourages listeners to contend for their healing through faith and to recognize the transformative power of prayer and scripture.

In this Healing School session, the focus is on the importance of trusting in God's word for healing. Bob emphasizes that we should not rely on our own understanding but should seek God's input in every aspect of our lives. He discusses two main scriptures: Proverbs 3:5-8 and Isaiah 55:11, highlighting the necessity of acknowledging God and trusting His promises. The session encourages listeners to take hold of God's word as a source of healing and restoration, asserting that His word will accomplish its intended purpose.

KEY POINTS:

Trust in the Lord

The first key scripture explored is Proverbs 3:5-8, which advises trusting in the Lord with all your heart and not leaning on your own understanding. This trust is essential for spiritual and physical health, as acknowledging God in all our ways leads to divine guidance.

God's Word as Healing

The session emphasizes Isaiah 55, which declares that God’s word will not return empty-handed but will accomplish what it is sent to do, comparing it to rain that nourishes the earth. Bob encourages listeners to apply this understanding, using God's word as their guide and source of healing.

The Importance of Scripture

Bob concludes by stressing the importance of continually engaging with God's word for healing. He encourages attendees to view the scriptures not just as texts but as God’s prescriptions for their health and well-being.

In this Healing School session, the focus is on faith and healing as illustrated through the Biblical story of Jairus and his dying daughter. We emphasize the importance of believing in Jesus despite challenging circumstances and not letting doubt interfere with one's faith in God’s promises. Through various examples and practical insights, Justin encourages viewers to hold fast to their faith and to not be swayed by negative information or fear, reinforcing that Jesus is powerful enough to bring about healing, even in seemingly hopeless situations.

KEY POINTS:

Faith is essential for healing.

Faith impacts healing. Using the story of Jairus to illustrate that belief in Jesus's power is crucial, even amidst terrible news. We emphasis is on the idea that Jesus recognizes those who show bold faith, suggesting that our approach to healing should be rooted in confidence and belief.

Doubt can undermine faith.

Doubt is depicted as a significant barrier to receiving healing. During trying circumstances, the enemy (represented as doubt) tries to distract and discourage believers, leading them to question their faith. Stay focused on the promises of God and not let doubt dictate one’s perspective.

The difference between natural and supernatural solutions.

We thankfully acknowledge the role of doctors and medical technology in addressing health issues but emphasizes their limitations compared to Jesus's supernatural abilities. This distinction is critical as he highlights that while medical interventions can inform us, they do not account for the miraculous work that God can perform in our lives.

Jesus's response to desperate situations.

This lesson highlights the scenario where Jesus tells Jairus not to fear but to believe after receiving the news that his daughter is dead. Jesus's assurance is applicable to all dire situations, reinforcing that even when circumstances appear fatal, faith in Jesus can yield a miraculous turnaround.

Engaging with God through prayer and connection.

This session concludes with an encouragement for listeners to actively seek prayer and support when facing challenges. Justin invites viewers to reach out for help and to ensure that they remain connected to their faith community, underscoring the importance of mutual support in nurturing one’s faith.
