You have heard people of the world
say, “I will believe it only when I see it.” Generally, that is the way
the world thinks. But God’s ways are not like the ways of the world. The
world says, “If I can’t feel it or see it, I cannot believe the miracle
is here.” God says, “If you believe it before you feel it or see it,
you will see your miracle.” |

Believing first before seeing the
evidence of what we are believing for is called faith. Faith is like a
spark and Jesus is the dynamite powder. |
|

In the story of the healing of the
woman with the issue of blood, there were many people who touched Jesus
(Mark 5:31), but nothing happened to them. They didn’t touch Him in
faith. But when the woman who had been bleeding for 12 years came to Him
and touched Him in faith, He felt power leave His body (Mark 5:30), and
it sparked off an explosion of healing in the woman’s body! |

Hearing about how good, kind and
loving Jesus was fired her faith to believe that He could and would heal
her. So convinced was she (even when the condition in her body was
still evident) that she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall
be made well.” Did she experience her healing first before she believed?
No, she believed first in Jesus’ goodness and power, acted in faith and
only then felt the healing in her body. |

In the same way, God wants you to
believe in His goodness and love toward you. He wants you to know how
willing He is to act on your behalf to bless you, and how, with Christ,
He will freely give you every good thing. (Romans 8:32) |
|
|
He wants you to declare by faith that
all is and shall be well with you, and to expect to see just that. And
then, no matter how long you have had the problem, no matter how bad the
experts say it is, an explosion of healing and restoration will take
place, and you will receive what you are believing for! |
