How to Hear and be Healed
Acts 28:26-27 (KJV) 26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
These people heard the Word with their physical ears but not with their hearts. They were dull of hearing because they had closed their hearts to the truth of God’s Word and did not receive it with joy and gladness. It wasn’t precious and valuable to them! They didn’t honor the Word that was spoken to them. Therefore, they didn’t receive salvation or healing. How sad! But it doesn’t have to be that way for you. You can hear, receive, do the Word, and see your healing manifested.
Remember, if you don’t do what you can do, you’ll never do what you can’t do! Your part is to study, confess, and get the Word into your heart where it can develop and manifest healing.
Here’s another way of looking at it. When you speak the Word over and over, you begin to believe it. You don’t really believe it the first few times you confess it – maybe not even the first 50 times! This is believing with your head – mental assent, not heart believing.
Confessing God’s Word over and over and meditating on it at the same time, will eventually get it into your heart where you will finally believe it. Then, what seems like all of a sudden, you’ll get it, you’ll see it, and that’s when you’ve really got it! Then you’ll speak it forth with power and get the manifestation of your healing! Parise the Lord! [Meditating God’s Word is thinking about it, mulling it over and over.]
This does not happen overnight. It takes effort, a lot of effort, to stand in faith and keep standing ’til you see results. But it’s worth every minute, hour, day, week, etc. The Good News is that God is always faithful to do His part. You can count on it. That’s why you can stay encouraged every step of the way. God doing His part is a sure thing!
Are you willing to do your part? If so, the results are inevitable. Go for it and get your healing!
Galatians 6:9 (KJV) 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
James 4:7 (KJV) 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
