Hear & be Healed
Luke 5:15 (KJV) 15 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
Luke 6:17 (KJV) 17 And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Here’s an important note about praying for others. I’ve come to realize that when people need healing, it’s not only prayer they need, the also need teaching. They need to hear what God says about healing so their faith can be energized to be able to receive God’s healing. How can you believe for healing without knowing what God has to say about it? You can’t.
Notice in the above scriptures that the people who needed healing came to Jesus to hear and be healed. They first had to hear to stir up their faith. Remember, faith in God comes from hearing His Word.
When people get healed by someone else’s prayers, that’s great. But, what happens when they go home and a symptom pops up? Do they know how to stand against it or do they panic and open the door by the words of their mouth and let the devil jump right back in? We need to teach them how to stand after they receive prayer. Fortify them with the Word so they’re able to stand against the wiles of the enemy when he raises his ugly head.
This is one of the most important things you need to learn about healing. Remember faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. [Romans 10:17] The key word is HEAR. Yes, we must hear the Word but what does that really mean?
