The church isn’t healing

We have a responsibility to heal. Jesus told us to! Sadly, few Christians are actively obeying. If more believers stepped out in faith, more would be healed. When John G. Lake established the Healing Rooms in Spokane, USA, the hospital closed.

Essential faith

 And without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Faith is the key ingredient. No one is healed by hope. Hope knows God can. Faith knows he will.

When the disciples couldn’t heal, Jesus said, “Because you have so little faith” (Matthew 19:20).

Doubts

Doubt is not lack of faith—it’s a mindset that allows alternatives (James 1:6-8): “God wants me sick.” “God may heal others, but not me.” “It’s my sickness and I must endure it” (Jeremiah 10:19).

Undiscovered roots

Wrong lifestyle or attitudes can prevent people from receiving healing.

We’re beginners

People are sick for many reasons. My own faith goes up and down. Let’s keep our faith high: read the Word, obey the Lord, and practice, practice, practice!

When I began, few were healed. Now we see up to three-quarters of the people in a meeting healed.

It’s beyond understanding

When the Lord appeared to Job after his suffering, Job said, “Surely I spoke of things… too wonderful for me to know” (Job 42:3). If Job couldn’t understand, neither can we. We cannot heal anyone. It’s the Lord who heals.

Not everyone receives now

After the powerful catalog of the faithful, Hebrews 11:39 says these were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised.

These blogs are a brief summary of a huge subject. For more, go to our website, check out our School of Healing on YouTube, buy my book the Heal the Sick! or sign up for a free School of Healing Manual below.

Finally, do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says (James 1:22)!

SOH 11. The anointing for healing

Anointing isn’t gifted worship or preaching. It’s the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. It’s God’s will that every believer should be filled with the Spirit.
