Don’t Wait for Healing—Receive It by FaithNow!

October 29
And he [Jesus] went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.—LUKE 13:22
Don’t Wait for Healing—Receive It by Faith
Now!
If you need healing and there isn’t a manifestation of the Spirit, such as gifts of healings (1 Cor. 12:9), what are you going
to do? Get the Word of God in you! Feed on the Word. Feed your faith, because you can receive healing by faith anytime.
Continuing in Luke 4, we read, “And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was
cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian” (v. 27). Now all of the lepers in Israel could have been cleansed if they had believed in
their covenant of healing (Exod. 34:10). Yet under the ministry of Elisha, not one single leper was healed in Israel except
Naaman. Naaman wasn’t even an Israelite, and he didn’t have a covenant of healing with Jehovah Rapha. But because Elisha
was well known for getting people healed, Naaman went to him. Naaman was an outsider in Israel, but he got healed.
So what was Jesus talking about in Luke 4:27? He was talking about the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will manifest Himself as He wills, not as man wills (1 Cor. 12:11).
And what Jesus was saying was, “I’m ministering just as a prophet would minister. I don’t tell the Holy Spirit what to do; the Holy Spirit tells Me what to do.” So if the Holy Spirit didn’t manifest Himself, what was Jesus going to do?
Well, if He was going to help the people, there was only one way to do it. Mark 6:6 says, “And he marvelled because of theirunbelief. AND HE WENT ROUND ABOUT THE VILLAGES, TEACHING.” Jesus had to do something about the people’s
unbelief to get them healed, because faith works anytime—and every time—whether there’s a special manifestation of the Holy
Spirit or not. So Jesus went about their villages teaching, because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Rom. 10:17).
Confession:
I don’t have to wait for a manifestation of the Spirit to be healed. I can be healed by faith right now. Unbelief can hinder
my faith, so I get rid of any unbelief by feeding on the Word of God and by hearing teaching from the Word of God concerning
healing.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

Image
D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
