3 Keys to Receiving Healing, Provision, and Breakthrough by Faith

It’s wonderful to have special vessels of God that we go to once in a while to receive healing or help. There are some people whose prayers and faith we particularly count on, and we know God really uses them.

Even so, God expects every person to eventually develop their own faith. Jesus showed how important personal faith is, for example, when He told the woman with the issue of blood, “Your faith has made you whole.” Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. And God has no favorites. You are special to Him! So, if that woman’s faith could make her whole, then your faith can make you whole! You simply need to have your own faith in your heart.

So, I want to talk about the subject of faith to help you build your own so that you can receive what you need.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Heb 11:6 NKJV

We see three principles of faith from this verse:

1.     You must learn to believe what you cannot see, feel, or touch, taste, or smell.

Your five senses give you no indication that what you need exists. We must believe that God is, and that He is the invisible, unseen God! You feel nothing and see nothing, yet you believe. Why? Because the God Who cannot lie has promised it!

While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Cor 4:18 NKJV

Faith can see what others cannot see. It sees into the realm of the spirit where all the promises of God exist. Faith rests contentedly when natural circumstances are raging all around. Faith knows that the unseen realm is changing the unpleasant circumstance we are facing.

NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Heb 11:1 AMPC

If we want to be strong in faith, we must learn to look past what we see and feel. Feelings have nothing to do with spiritual truth. Those who are constantly swayed by their emotions won’t receive from God by faith.

2.     You must believe that God is a rewarder.

You can’t come to God believing that He’s harsh or doesn’t want you to have the desires of your heart! You can’t come to God for healing if you believe He wants you to have diseases in your body. You can’t come to God for financial help if you believe He wants you poor. You can’t come to Him for help if you believe He brought the storm you’re facing into your life.

God is not going to be pleased with any of those misconceptions. You’ve got to believe from Bible revelation that God is a good God!

Let them shout for joy and be glad,

Who favor my righteous cause;

And let them say continually,

“Let the Lord be magnified,

Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” Ps 35:27 NKJV

Prosperity is all-encompassing shalom—health, prosperity and peace. How does God reward those who favor His righteous cause, according to this psalm? With health, prosperity, and peace.

If they obey and serve Him,

They shall spend their days in prosperity,

And their years in pleasures. Job 36:11 NKJV

Jesus taught us we could have our desires met.

3.     God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

It’s amazing that when we face trouble we suddenly become more diligent about seeking God! If you’re in trouble today, you MUST get diligent! Then, when God delivers you from trouble, don’t get lax and fall away from being diligent again. Maintain your diligence!

Now, here is some advice for those who are not in trouble: Get diligent BEFORE you get in trouble!

My son, give attention to my words;

Incline your ear to my sayings.

Do not let them depart from your eyes;

Keep them in the midst of your heart;

For they are life to those who find them,

And health to all their flesh.

Keep your heart with all diligence,

For out of it spring the issues of life. Prov 4:20-23 NKJV

Since everything we have in life comes from what we believe in our heart and say with our mouth, it is wisdom to guard what we put into our heart and say out of our mouth!

What is in your heart and mouth is what controls the destiny or outcome of your life. We don’t exercise diligence to earn the rewards of God. Rather, we must be diligent to keep Satan’s lies and doubts out of our hearts.

So let’s continue to develop our faith by remembering these three key principles. With a personal, developed faith, we are candidates to receive whatever we need or desire!
