FAITH AND HEALING

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6

Glory to God! Faith is the only language understood in the realm of the spirit. Faith is how anything is formed and executed in God. Salvation is not possible without faith, for with the heart man believes, and then with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10). Therefore, if there will be anything that will be established in reality, it must first begin with our believing before our confession. Faith is substance; it is having the ability to be propelled into action by an understanding. If there is no faith, there will be no action, and if there is no action, there will be no result. Everything we desire is possible, but the possibility is highly dependent on our faith. Healing is possible if we can believe in it. Now, it is not just believing for it but believing enough to propel an action that should produce the result that is needed. Every healing recorded in the scripture required a certain action from the recipient of the healing. The issue is never with if God is willing to heal, it is with if we are willing to follow divine instructions of faith and receive our healing. 

From our opening scripture, it is clearly stated that without faith it is impossible to please God; if we will come to Him for anything, we must first believe that He is and He can do what we desire. This is very important because it will determine our diligence in seeking His face. If we truly believe that He is and can do what we desire of Him, we will never be discouraged in our pursuit. The phrase "He is a rewarder of them who diligently seek Him" is important to our discussion because that is the whole essence of faith. Anything that doesn't command our diligence in pursuit has not captured our heart yet. Even in the secular world, the reason why some scientific breakthroughs happen is because men were given absolutely to the pursuit of a given course that they were willing to stake everything on the line for that which they believe. If you truly believe God, you will diligently seek Him without plan B and other alternatives. God knows when faith is speaking. That is His language, and it was through it He created the whole world. When He finds a man of genuine faith, it becomes impossible for Him to pass by. He is pleased by our faith, and on the wings of that, He moves to act on whatever we desire, including healing. Whatever you desire begins with faith. Do you have faith to diligently seek God concerning your healing? Faith is what pleases God. Hallelujah!!!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

  1. Do I genuinely believe that God is able and willing to heal me, and is my faith producing corresponding action and obedience to His Word?
  2. Am I diligently seeking God for my healing, or have fear, doubt, discouragement, or alternative plans weakened my confidence in Him?
PRAYERS
Father, You are my healer, and nothing is impossible with You. I obtain grace to grow in genuine faith and to trust Your Word completely. Remove every doubt, fear, and unbelief from my heart, and give me grace to act on Your Word with confidence. I receive my healing in Jesus's name

DAILY ENCOUNTER AUGUST 2ND, 2026 THE POWER OF FELLOWSHIP "And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers." Acts 2:42 Glory to God! Fellowship is companionship. The ability to belong to the body of believers as a family.  Fellowship is one of the greatest gifts God gave to us as believers. The word 'fellowship' refers to a close relationship and shared participation among believers who are united in Christ. It is more than simply gathering together; it is sharing our lives and everything it entails with one another under the lordship of our Lord Jesus Christ.  God didn't design the Christian life to be lived in isolation. From our opening scripture, we saw that the early believers gave themselves to continual fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers. They understood that spiritual growth is made possible through a community of shared faith and an environment where believers are encouraged and ...

DAILY ENCOUNTER AUGUST 1ST, 2026 DETOX "Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."  Psalms 51:10 Glory to God! Welcome to the eighth month of the year. Let us take out time to give God praise today. He is good, and His mercy is forever. Today, as we begin the new month, we will be discussing a very important subject matter: DETOX! What does it mean to detox? It means cleansing. The act of subjecting oneself to purification. The process of removing unhealthy things and habits from our body, soul and spirit. Our actions are the product of our content. The content of our heart, through the things we feed on, is the determinant of our belief system and what eventually produces the outcome of our behaviours. From the beginning of the year, we have acted in certain ways and directions. The question before us today is, have our actions produced desired results, or have they subjected us to moving round circles? If you cannot measure your growth in strate...

DAILY ENCOUNTER AUGUST 3RD, 2026 PROVING THAT WHICH IS GOOD "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2 Glory to God!  When we gave our heart to Jesus, we were brought into a new life in God, and that life is life in the Spirit. It is a life powered by God by His Spirit to know what is good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. One of the issues we have seen among believers is the issue of not knowing what God is doing. The issue of being confused as regards the leading of God concerning a given matter. But it is not supposed to be. We have the Holy Spirit resident on the inside of us; we should know His voice and walk according to His leading. So why is there an issue with knowing what the will of God is? The problem is the lack of transformation. From our opening scripture, we are open to what is known as the transformation of the mind. Th...
