You have taken a step of Faith simply by being here today.
We are ready to agree with you in prayer believing God for your healing/salvation/miracle. Matthew 17:20 If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. |
Faith Making Whole:
In the passages below, Jesus doesn't say my miraculous healing power has made you whole. Jesus doesn't say special Gifts of Healing or Working of Miracles, have made you whole [1 Corinthians 12:7-11, 1 Corinthians 12:27-31]. But he says your faith has made you whole [Matthew 9:22].
The primary way a believer receives God's healing power is through faith in God's Word. Believers shouldn't require a sign or wonder to believe in God's healing power. Jesus got upset when people required signs and wonders from him to believe in his healing power [John 4:48, Luke 1:18-20]. He praised people who just received his healing power by faith [Matthew 8:10 and Luke 7:9].
Study these examples of faith to position yourself to exercise faith and receive the Healing Power of Jesus Christ.
Demonstrations of Faith
In the Book of James we read that "faith without works is dead [James 2:20] or "faith without works is useless" [NASB]. Faith that does not produce the appropriate corresponding action is dead, useless, inoperative, inactive, ineffective and worthless [AMP].
We do not strive to do good works to be righteous. Believers produce the appropriate corresponding actions to faith because we are righteous through Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul said, "and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith" [Philippians 3:9, Galatians 2:16].
