The More You Hear, the More You Believe

From Mark Brazee’s 365 Days of Healing:

Romans 10:14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

Years ago I traveled to India with five other ministers to conduct a seminar for native ministers. Six of us taught on different subjects, but I taught on healing for one hour every day for three and a half weeks. Mostly, God dealt with me to teach on the Atonement that Jesus purchased for us on the Cross.

On the first day different ministers asked me to pray for their healing, but the Spirit of God wouldn’t allow me to. I told them, “Not yet; we’ll do it later.” Each day another minister would ask for prayer, and I’d say the same thing. I knew if I prayed for their healing prematurely, they wouldn’t receive. They didn’t know enough of the Word to have strong faith because they’d only begun to hear about healing.

On the last day the Lord spoke to my spirit, “It’s time to pray, but don’t you pray or lay hands on them. They are ministers; let them pray for each other.” I obeyed the Lord, and afterward I asked how many received manifestations of healing. Hands went up all over.

After hearing the Word day after day, these ministers could hardly wait for me to finish teaching so they could pray. Their faith had grown strong hearing the Word; they were ready to receive.

The same will happen to you as you hear and hear the Word.

Confession: I take time to hear God’s Word on healing and faith rises in me, producing healing from head to toe.

Jesus: The Image of the Father

From Mark Brazee’s 365 Days of Healing:

[The Father] hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. Colossians 1:13-15

The world has a warped idea of what God is like. People often think God is causing all their problems. They have a mental picture of God sitting up in heaven with a big club waiting for them to make a mistake so He can hit them on the head. In other words, they think God makes them sick, steals their money, or kills their families.

But if you want to know what God is really like, look at Jesus. Jesus gives us a picture of God. In Colossians 1:15, Jesus is called “the image of the invisible God.” Jesus Himself said, “If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father.” (John 14:9.)

Follow Jesus’ earthly ministry to see God’s will in action. You see, everything Jesus did (or didn’t do) represented God’s will. Jesus led a perfect, sinless life. He never stole, never killed, and never destroyed. He never made anyone sick and never left anyone sick who believed Him to be healed. He never said, “This sickness is here to teach you something, to perfect you, or to make you more pious.” He never said, “This sickness is good for you.”

Jesus acted out God’s will for mankind. He never refused healing to anyone, and He won’t refuse healing to you.

Confession
Jesus healed everyone who came to Him in faith. Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, so I come to Him in faith, knowing He will heal me too.
