MEMORY TRACK:
In our last lesson, we found help from The Holy Spirit to look at what ‘Bible Healing Faith’ is. We saw that there is what is called Healing Faith/Faith to be Healed (Acts 14:9). We saw that this Faith is under the milk allocation of the word in the New Testament! Hallelujah!
What is Healing Faith
Faith (Healing Faith) – which is under the milk allocation of God’s word, is the rhema word that The Holy Spirit through our born again recreated human spirit reveals to our hearts to propel healings for our physical outward man/body (Romans 10:17). This Faith (healing faith) can also be imparted and transmitted into our hearts as God’s Children through meditation on the scriptures (Psalms 19:14; Proverbs 18:1)
The truth be told, many of us, God’s People, most times assume that we have faith for healings, when we really do not. We blame God, Ministers, Other saints for not getting healed, whereas we do not have what the Word says for us to get healed. We are hoping this lesson will help change this narrative (praise the Lord Jesus).
It is good to know and note the differences that exist between Faith, Doubt and Unbelief so that we will properly deal with the subject of how to get faith for healing. For there is a difference between the three of them:
- Faith (for healing): Faith is the direct impartation of conviction and assurances into the heart of a saint, through the rhema/revealed Word of God as a substance for healing. Faith is always of the heart (Romans 10:8-10).
- Doubt (as to whether God can/wants to heal): Doubt is made apparent and obvious by the absence and ignorance of God’s rhema/revealed Word on particular health conditions/sickness/diseases. Doubt can either be little or great, always being directly proportional to the presence or absence of rhema/revealed Word (which is what faith hinges on).
Doubt can be in/of the mind and heart. Faith, if well saturated in the heart can guarantee healings for the body though there be doubt in the mind. This occurs in cases where the Holy Spirit through our new creation spirit reveals rhema light for specific healings to our hearts independent of our mind. That way, faith passes to our heart directly. In such scenarios, our hearts munches on or meditates on such words, and when such words are acted upon, healings are guaranteed. But when we prayerfully meditate on the word with our minds, and the Holy Spirit sheds light of the word in our minds, doubt greatly depletes in our minds, and such lights descends to our hearts from where faith power is triggered.
3. Unbelief (as regards being healed) (Mark 6:1-6): Unbelief is a by-product of having known or seen the truth to the point of it getting to the heart, and disagreeing with it, by not acting on it. For there to be unbelief, the truth must be revealed to the heart by rhema (illuminations of the Word by Holy Spirit or our born again new creation spirit). Faith not acted upon is what Unbelief is!
It is good to note the following;
- Faith being in the heart (which is a great victory) still does not guarantee healing(s) or miracles to one’s ill health conditions. One still has to ACT ON THE WORD (CORRESPONDING ACTION TO THE FAITH) for the power of God to be released for healing. It is at the point of generating a corresponding action that BELIEVE is being demonstrated. Faith in the heart + Corresponding actions = BELIEVE (produces/triggers healings anointings for changes in our physical bodies)
- Faith (or its absence, which is fear) are products of words/things the heart has heard. Faith is spoken by the Holy Spirit and/or our new creation spirits to our heart, or is generated to our hearts through our mind meditating on God’s word until light of God’s word shines from our minds down to our hearts. While fear on the other hand is produced through the words of Satan and his cohorts through the minds of Christians, until through meditation such words reach our hearts (because Satan and his cohorts do not have access to our spirits).
- Fear and faith can both be in the heart. The evidence of faith in the heart is assurance and conviction that God can and has healed, even when the ailment(s) are still there. The evidence of fear in the heart is doubt and being unsure of whether God can and has healed.
- For there not to be doubt and fear in the heart, one needs to feed and grow one’s faith in the heart. Through constant meditation on God’s word (words of healings and for healings). His promises to heal.
- Faith will work in the heart with doubt and fear in your head. For this to be, the Holy Spirit has to speak to our hearts through our new creation human spirits.
How Healing Faith Comes (Romans 10:17)
- Rhema word spoken by The Holy Spirit or our born again new creation spirit (Romans 10:17; John 6:63; Matthew 4:4). The Holy Spirit speaks specific words of faith to our hearts through our spirits. Such words may be spoken when we are directly waiting on God for wisdom and direction on how to deal with a specific health condition.
- Meditation on God’s word! Proverbs 18:1; Psalms 19:14. Through prayerful meditations, one can find both leadings, wisdom and understanding that can generate light enough to produce faith into the heart. Through meditation, the heart can capture faith from gross illuminations of the mind. Meditation triggers intercourse between the mind and the heart, for there to be diffusion of light in the mind, into the heart that converts light to life (faith).
- Fasting and Prayer; Matthew 17:14-21! Fasting and prayer is a great necessity for to connect rhema words that will generate faith in the heart.
