It takes faith to get healed of one's afflictions. Now, faith comes by hearing, and not just hearing anything, but hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17). It is also necessary to know that faith is not obtained derived through sympathy. In fact, it doesn't come via discussing with people their pains and aches, weaknesses and sicknesses.
But you see, faith is born when we hear the word of truth, and this is very powerful.
Can you remember what Jesus said: "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32)."
Fortunately, Jesus is the truth. Hence, for you to see people delivered from the bondage of disease, they must be taught the aspect of the word that gives them freedom from afflictions. Everyone must know that Jesus wants every person in need of healing to be healed. If not, the Lord won't have taken the stripes by which we were healed.
So, one of the reasons many folks don't get healed is because of the absence of teaching and preaching that revolves around the Bible truth of healing.
When you are beside a sick person, you shouldn't merely sympathize with their pains, and don't think it is in line with God's perfect Will. Rather, wage war on every type of sickness, and take authority over every demon through the name of Jesus Christ.
As a Christian, you have what it takes to minister deliverance to those in need of healing. Since salvation is for everyone, then healing too is for all. The Bible has assured us God will always save anyone who comes to Him in spirit and truth. We know this to be true too for anyone in need of healing.
But many are yet to be taught the truth in regard to healing for the body. They know all about salvation, but still ignorant of the truth about healing.
People must believe for healing in the same way that they believe for regeneration. The LORD that did many superb miracles then, is still very much alive. He still works miracles.
He says, I am the Lord who heals you. Even this moment, He is still saying, I am the Lord who heals you. God heals all who come to Him believing His promise. Just have faith, and it becomes a reality.
Ask in faith, without wavering (James 1:6).
