voice of healing faith

(Broadcast from 11/22/09)

If we are commanded to live by faith, then we can do it.  God will not command us anything that we do not have the ability to do with His help.  Faith comes by hearing the Word of God.  If our hearts are open and receptive to the Word of God, then we can receive the truth that Jesus said would make us free.  But we have to decide to believe. We have to know in our hearts that the thread of truth, that runs through His Word, is true. If we settle that before we get into His Word, then the battle is over.  We are then ready to receive the truth.

When we hear the Word, faith is available for us to receive, faith just comes.  We don’t have to worry whether or not it will work, it just does. God’s Word guarantees that it will.

When Abraham heard God’s Word, that was his “title deed” and his proof.  Every time he looked up at the stars, Abraham was reminded of what God said, “so numberless shall your descendants be.”  When human reason for hope was gone, Abraham hoped in faith that he would become the father of many nations.  He didn’t consider the obvious circumstances, like the utter impotence of his body or the barrenness of Sarah’s deadened womb, but he was fully satisfied that God was able and mighty to keep His Word and to do what He had promised.  That is why his faith was credited to him for righteousness.

That is what we need to do.  Trust the Word of God to be true, believe His Word to change our situation.
