The movie “The Passion” (that Mel Gibson produced) showed a “true story” of what Jesus went through (before and on the cross) so that we could have his abundant life. Part of that abundant life is healing for our body. God is not a man that lies-He says what is “true”. Did you know that people with maraculous healing ministries prayed for many people who died or didn’t get healed during there first years of laying hands on the sick? That didn’t stop them from praying for the sick. Because they were faithful in little, they begin to see an “increase in healings”. So I think that as Christians we just need to “learn more about healing”.

Some keys are:
1. Carrying the presence of God-His “presence” has “healing” in Him-going with us.
2. Being led to pray by the Holy Spirit-There are some scriptures in the New Testament that says Jesus healed everyone. But people were all around that didn’t get healed when he ministered to only one man at the “Pool of Bethesda”-(John 5:2-9). OR the woman with the “issue of blood”-people were touching Him, but they didn’t get healed.
3. Having a “revelation” about healing scriptures, really “understanding” them-not just head knowledge that they are in my Bible.
4. There is a “preparation” of praying in the spirit, and knowing what God is like, emptying ourself, not wanting to be seen of men, etc.
5. Having identity-knowing who you are in Christ; seeing yourself doing great works like Jesus did; keeping yourself pure; not wanting the glory, having a “testimony of healing”; seeking God’s face.
6. Letting faith overcome fear. If God puts it on your heart to pray for a person, then he wants to heal them and for us to obey him-even if we don’t see their healing manifest in our sight. Angels record the healings in heaven.
7. Make sure that we are carrying the “love” of God (not just when we minister), but daily in our conflicts and test.
8. Being moved with “compassion”-which means you see someone sick, lame, blind, dead, and you know it’s God’s will to heal them.
9. Study healing scriptures, and “understand” what God’s will is about healing. When the lame man was brought to him he didn’t say: Well, you still have sin, so I can’t heal you. Jesus said: “What is easier, to say arise and be healed or go and sin no more?” Healing people was part of salvation. Many that were healed wanted to follow Jesus after they got healed. They recognized he alone could give them what man could not give them. Wholeness in spirit, soul, and body.

I believe we should never tell people that they don’t have enough faith. God usually shows people that tell us that we need faith (that their faith isn’t working in the situation either). I’m sure that you and your family needed to feel loved in that moment of your life, and that didn’t help you feel better-(because you were already hurting). Sometimes people see visions of people “healed”, because they saw them already in heaven, and there is no sickness or disease in heaven. But if God gives life and is the Healer, (he isn’t double minded)- and then takes their life.

Three things we can do:
A. Practice the presence of God -in every day life-(not just when we come to church).
B. Stay in the Word-understand what you read. Ask God for revelation and get the Hebrew and Greek meaning for the words we don’t understand.
C. Pray in the Spirit throughout the day or night. The Holy Spirit will bring his word to your rememberance; you will have wisdom when you need it; or a word for someone, or a solution to a problem that you don’t have the answer for.

I hope my thoughts will help someone out there today.

Just remember, (myself included)-that we all will always have something “new” to learn about being the carriers of God’s healing.

Because God is so much bigger and smarter than any of us-and He will always know more than any of us. But if we stay teachable, and search out a matter, he will open up our understanding and we will come to that place where we truly live, and move and have our being in doing the “impossible” like Jesus did!!!
I love you woman of great faith!!!!
