The God-Kind of Faith Will Make You Whole

Some have argued over the centuries that healing has been done away with and is no longer available. But I have a question for you today: Have you ever heard of faith being done away with? No, of course not! Faith has absolutely not been done away with.

There is a faith that will heal your body every time. It’s the God kind of faith! Jesus is the One who introduced us to this kind of faith, and He also said that we were capable of having it ourselves.

Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”

Mark 11:20-23 NKJV

Now, Jesus explained this after He demonstrated the God kind of faith by speaking to a fig tree and cursing it. Then He went on to teach that we should do the same thing. He said, “Have faith in God.” However, the more accurate translation is, “Have the faith of God.”

This is how the faith of God operates: When you speak to a problem, if you don’t doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will be done, you will have whatever you say. So the God kind of faith is the kind of faith in which a man believes with his heart and says with his mouth that which he believes in his heart, and it comes to pass.

Jesus showed us He had that kind of faith, because when He told the fig tree that nobody would eat fruit from it again, it came to pass. God always believes that what He says will come to pass. We see in Genesis chapter one that He spoke the Word, and there was an earth. He spoke the Word, and there was a plant kingdom. He spoke the Word, and there was an animal kingdom.

When we speak in line with the Word of God and believe it with our hearts, it will also come to pass for us. Believing and saying are the key ingredients to faith! The Bible says in the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established. So here is another witness.

But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Rom 10:8-11 NKJV

The word “salvation” is the Greek word “soteria,” which means deliverance, health, and salvation. So, with the heart one believes and with the mouth one confesses unto healing and deliverance as well as salvation.

A measure of God’s faith is delivered to a person through hearing it preached. Romans chapter ten and verse seventeen says, “[Faith] comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Then the person uses this faith to create the reality of salvation, healing, or deliverance in his own life.

We create the reality of healing in our bodies by believing the Word of God on this subject, and speaking it out of our own mouth. I have used this God kind of faith in my life for decades. For example, when my cholesterol was elevated, I began to say daily, “Thank God my cholesterol is normal.” One year later, it had dropped 35 points, and was well below normal. Another year, my TSH level was elevated. So, I began to say daily, “Thank God my TSH level is normal.” One year later, it was normal! Normal bloodwork agrees with God’s Word: “By His stripes you were healed,” 1 Peter 2:24.

Many people do not realize that their words dominate them. Proverbs 6:2 says, “You are taken captive with the words of your mouth.” I never deny a doctor’s report. They are simply trying to diagnose and help us. But I choose to believe and say God’s Word about it, and it eventually changes the diagnosis.

The apostle Paul confirms what I’m saying in 2 Corinthians 4:13:

 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak.

Disease and failure do not belong to children of God. God has never yet created a failure. Failures are man-made. They are made by wrong believing and wrong speaking.

The foolproof way to receive your healing every time is to exercise the God kind of faith. Believe God’s word in your heart and confess it with your mouth. Don’t contradict and disagree with God. That will never get results. Our faith will never rise above the words of our lips. Thoughts of doubt may come, and they may persist in staying. But if we refuse to put those thoughts into words, they die unborn!

Your confessions of God’s Word, if believed in your heart and spoken with your mouth, will create the realities of God’s Word in your life.
