Below are 6 ways you can begin seeing God's healing Power in your life: (This is an excerpt from The Healing Bible. link at the end)
1. Prayer - Be specific, and be relentless
in praying for miracles in every part of your life. Bring the promises of God before
Him in your pursuit. He hasn’t forgotten what He has said and does not need our
reminder. However, He enjoys seeing us
standing on His covenant when we pray. Prayer with fasting is to be an integral
part of this quest, as He revealed this to be an important way to get a
breakthrough. I even pray for specific diseases
for which I’m not seeing a breakthrough.
2. Study -
The most obvious place for study is in the scriptures. Spend months reading and rereading the Gospels.
Look for models to follow. Look
especially at all references to the
Kingdom, and ask God to open the mysteries
of the Kingdom to you. The right
to understand such things belongs to the saints who are willing to obey. Another great place for study is to find all
references to “reformation,” those
periods of transformation that Israel
went through under different leaders (revivalist) in the scriptures. Good places to begin are with
David, Hezekiah, Ezra, and Nehemiah. Their lives become prophetic messages for us. All true study is driven by hunger. If you
don’t have questions, you won’t recognize the answers.
3. Read -
Find the books that have been written by the generals of God’s army—those who
truly do the stuff. There is a great
storehouse of information for those willing to pursue. Don’t forget the leaders
of the great healing revival of the 1950s. God’s Generals, by Roberts Liardon,
is a great place to start. If you’re
afraid of reading about those who later fell into sin and deception (some of
these people ended in disaster), stay away from Gideon, Samson, Solomon’s Proverbs, and the Song of
Solomon. The author of those books also
ended in tragedy. We must learn to eat
the meat and throw out the bones.
4. Laying
on of hands – Pursue the men and women of God who carry an anointing in
their lives for the miraculous. Such an
anointing can be transferred to others through the laying on of hands. Occasionally there are ministry times when
such an individual is willing to pry for those who desire an increase of
anointing. I have traveled extensively
in pursuit of MORE.
5. Associations
– King David was known for killing Goliath in his youth. Yet there are at least
four other giants killed in Scripture – all killed by the men who followed
David, the giant killer. If you want to
kill giants, hang around a giant killer.
It rubs off.
Grace
is that which enables us to live in the Kingdom, and in part it is received by
how we respond to the gift of Christ: Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors,
and teachers. We actually receive the
grace to function from these gifts. If
you hang around an evangelist, you will thank evangelistically. The same happens when we associate with those
who regularly experience signs and wonders in their lives.
6. Obedience
- No matter how much preparation is done to increase the anointing for miracles
in a life, it never comes to fruition without radical obedience. I must look for the sick and tormented in
order to pray for them. And if they are
healed, I give God the praise. If they aren’t, I still give God the praise, and
continue to look for people to pray for. I learned a long time ago that more people are
healed when you pray for more people! Until we act on what we know, our
knowledge is nothing more than a theory. Real learning comes through doing.
God
does have the power to heal but is up to us to show others how to put their
faith and their lives in God’s hands.
