| FAITH AND HEALING By Karen Overy |
Acts 3:16
By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong.
It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete
healing to him, as you can all see.
I'm sure most of you reading this have watched a healing revival on television or
have seen one in person. It is an amazing site to see. Some people believe what
they see, and others do not. I am writing this in hope of teaching you that through
faith healing is possible.
If there is one thing that I do not lack it is faith in the Power and Love of God. One
evening my leg was hurting me so badly that I held it and prayed to God with full
faith and asked Him to take the pain and illness from me. I had arthritis and a
bone spur in my knee. The morning after praying with full faith, I could feel relief
from the pain. Within a few weeks the pain was completely gone!
Psalm 31:23
Love the LORD, all his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but the proud he
pays back in full.
I told someone about my knee and the response I received was "it's all in your
head." Now, I can't tell you how that comment bothered me. It did not bother me
because the person did not believe me. It bothered me because this person did not
have enough faith in God to believe it. Anyone reading the Bible will read of
miraculous healing and miracles. God parted the sea! Have you ever pictured in
your mind what that would look like? The sea actually parting? How can anyone
question whether or not God can cure a painful knee after reading that? Look
outside, really look, what you will see is what God created. The birds flying the
trees standing, the grass growing. Yet, for some reason, people still question the
Power of God.
Mark 6:30-34 Jesus turns 5 loaves of bread and two fish into enough
food to feed five thousand people and have leftovers!
Mark 6:45-52 Jesus walks on the sea!
The other night I was sitting on the floor petting my dog. I sat there looking at her
eyes, her mouth, her legs, her nose thinking to myself, wow, can you even imagine
how God created this animal? And He made all different animals, that all look
different from each other as with people. Yet, people still question His Power.
If you are even going to begin to believe that God can heal people, you first need
to look around you and open your eyes to His great power and love for you. God
created us in His own image. Do you believe that God loves each one of us?
Would God have created us in His own image if He didn't?
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Genesis 1:27
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
I was reading a prayer one night, and it said that God is my Father. Think about
that statement. Not only is your father your dad, but you have a most powerful
loving Father in God. He is with you always. He loves you always. Is that not the
most amazing thing? God is your Father! You are His child! If God is your Father,
don't you think He will take the utmost care of you?
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his
grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and
strengthen you in every good deed and word.
Hebrews 12:9
Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected
them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and
live!
God will not go against your will. You need to accept Him. Pray to Him. Tell Him
your old ways are history and live your life to please Him, your Father. Live your
life following the commandments, and Pray to Him. Show Him your Love through
prayer and behavior. Get to know Him better by going to church to be fed by His
words. Read the Bible, learn what He likes and has done. Let me tell you, your
life will never be the same! I mean that for the better. The things that get you down
will not have that power over you anymore. The anxieties of life will be lifted off
your shoulders and you will be healed. All of your anxieties can be put on your
Father's shoulders by submitting to Him. The worries of the past are taken off of
you by your Father, leaving you at peace. Who wouldn't want that?
Hosea 14:1
[Repentance to Bring Blessing] Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God. Your
sins have been your downfall!
James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
When I first submitted my life to God and felt peace for the first time I couldn't
understand why the whole world wouldn't want to feel like this. I've come to
the conclusion that you really don't know what you are missing until you
experience it for yourself. That is why I am sharing this with you now. I want
everyone to experience the Power and Love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Isaiah 32:18
My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed
places of rest.
Once your faith is strong you will not have to ask how can He heal me? You will
know the power of God, you will feel it in your heart. And when He heals your
pain whatever it might be you will know in your heart that your Father is taking
care of you.
The Pastors that do these wonderful healings, do them through the Power Love
and Grace of God.
Acts 3:12
When Peter saw this, he said to them: "Men of Israel, why does this surprise you?
Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man
walk?
Never doubt the Power of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will always take care of His
children.
Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God
who does no wrong, upright and just is He.
By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong.
