SPIRITUALITY AND FAITH
of Christ to deliver people from diseases and infirmities, to destroy the works of the devil, to confirm the work of God, and bring glory to God by wholeness of healing! You are called to operate in this power for James 5:15 says, “the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.” So activate your faith and the Spirit’s gifts for Jesus said “According to your faith let it be to you” (Matt. 9:29)…”Your faith has made you well” (Luke 17:19).
F. The Presence of Jesus And His Healing Anointing Gives Us Authority to Heal Today! Healing comes from being in God’s Presence. Luke 5:17 says, “And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.” Its by this Healing Anointing to fulfill His Greater Works that Jesus in Matt. 10:1, 7-8 “gave power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease
…and preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” With this truth in mind, we secondly claim healing…
II. BASED ON THE WORD AND PROVEN PRAYER METHOD
A. Connect with People Trusting God Who are in Need (James 5:14a). I understand social distancing, but Jesus was a toucher and people get results as they connect with people able to touch God! Luke 4:40 says, "When the sun was setting, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one of them, He was healing them." It probably took a long time for Jesus to go to each person in the crowd and lay hands on them! But that’s the whole point—Jesus connected with people and the urgency of their need! Jesus is our example to guide us in how to do miracles.
B. Pray in the Name of Jesus And Expect Power to be Released (James 5:14b). When you pray in Jesus’ Name you make a connection which allows the power of the Holy Spirit to flow into the sick person! In Luke 8:46, Jesus said "Someone touched me; I know that dunamis power has gone out from me." Jesus ministered in this power and commanded all who would carry on His ministry in Luke 24:49 to be “clothed with [dunamis] power from on high”. Even after receiving this power, Acts 4:29-30 shows believers praying for more
"Acts 4:29-30 shows believers praying for more power to operate in healings and miracles! We must seek this
same power!"
