FAITH COMES
THROUGH THE WORD
❓How can we better use our faith to see miracles and healings?
John 15, 7. Jesus: If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.
From this Word, we can understand that the more Words we carry in our hearts, the more we can experience God's help through faith, miraculously.
❓After all, where does the ability to believe come from? From hearing the Word! Rom 10, 17. Think about the Word, hide it deep in your heart - to the extent that it eventually becomes a part of your being.
SEEING THE INVISIBLE
If difficulties come, don't let the truth of the Word be stolen from your heart, don't believe in circumstances, don't let difficulties rob you of your faith. Because then you would believe more in the devil's ability to prevent you in something than in God's ability to help you!
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
Many people believe that God can do what they need, yet they doubt that He will. Or rather, deep down in their hearts, they doubt that HE WANTS to do it FOR THEM. Moreover, there are even cases where they believe that God can and wants to do that good thing - for others - but not for them. Sure, it can happen that the heart is full of faith, but at the same time it is also full of doubts.
Good news: If someone doubts in his mind, but believes in his heart that God will help him - his faith will still move the mountain!
GOD'S WILL
❓What about those who pray like this: God's will be done (whatever it is...). This kind of faith does not work! Why? Because this means that the person praying does not even know God's will. Why do we need to know God's will? ❓Because God's will = the BIBLE, knowledge of the Word, knowledge of Jesus. Knowledge of the Word -> faith -> mountains move. It takes faith to pray effectively. And faith is nourished by God's Word and the Word contains God's will.
❓Why doesn't many people's faith work?
1 John 3, 20-22. "If the heart accuses us, since God is greater than our hearts and knows everything. Beloved, if our heart condemns us not, then we have confidence in God; And whatsoever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight."
The mystery of faith lies in a clear conscience. There are many people whose faith does not work because their conscience is not clear, they take advantage of others, or they ruin their own lives with intoxication, alcohol, etc. If someone does not have a clear conscience, his own heart accuses him and he does not dare to pray boldly in the presence of God. So you have to be a doer of the Word to be victorious in life.
JESUS' WILL
So the heart is an important key. We also read examples in the Bible that Jesus convinced a sick person that healing was His will, and then the miracle came. Jesus had to dispel the doubts of the leper. But after he told him that He wanted him to be healed, he was healed. "I WILL, be healed!" Luke 5, 13. Many who ask me for prayer do not know whether God wants to heal them - there and then... This Word is for them: I WILL!
Because even the devils know that God exists and are afraid (Luke 2:19), but we have a more effective faith.
Faith means that God loves you. He can heal you. And it is NOW that he wants to heal you!
