Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing” (John 14:12). What did he mean?
We don’t put our faith in what we do, or pray, or say, or even fast. That is works. To do what Jesus did, we need faith, and faith IN HIM. Faith is being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised (Romans 4:21). If so, we will act on his word.
Faith in his name
Peter and John healed a crippled beggar. “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!” Peter said (Acts 3:6). He later explained how he was healed (v 16): “By faith in the name of Jesus…”
Jesus is the name above every other. Every knee must bow, in heaven, and on earth and under the earth (Philippians 2:10), including sickness.
Faith in his blood
By his wounds you have been healed (1 Peter 2:24). Jesus paid for our healing on the cross. It is finished.
Faith in his word
Jesus promised (Mark 16:18) if we place our hands on sick people they will get well. Do we believe him?
Faith in his power
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and… he went around… healing all who were under the power of the devil (Acts 10:38). We have the same Spirit, and the same power.
Faith in his presence
“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age,” Jesus stated (Matthew 28:20). Unconditional. He will never leave us. His very presence heals (Luke 6:19).
Faith in his command
When he commands us to heal in Luke 10:9, he expects us to be able to, and to obey. We shouldn’t need to be told again. Luke 10 is not a theological exercise—it’s a commission!
