 How to Hear and be Healed

Remember the woman with the issue of blood [Mark5:25-34]:

1-Hear and listen to the Word.

2- Receive the Word into your heart.

3-Do the Word and receive your healing.

Even though there was a multitude of people surrounding Jesus, the woman with the issue of blood was the one that got healed. Why didn’t the others? Because they didn’t hear, listen, receive and act on the Word that Jesus spoke. They were just spectators, never actively getting the Word into their hearts where it could activate faith for healing.

The woman’s faith activated the power of God that was in Jesus and that’s how she received her healing. Jesus even told her that it was her faith that healed her. Yes, it was His power! But if she hadn’t activated it with the touch of faith, she would not have received her healing.

James 2:17 (AMP) ¹⁷  So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead).

Faith without corresponding action is dead faith and dead faith will not produce results! The woman acted on her faith, received her healing, and was made whole.

This means that you have to act in accordance with what you say you believe. That’s the works part. If you say you believe in healing, don’t talk sickness and disease. Talk healing. Confess the healing scriptures. Watch the words of your mouth and don’t let them trip you up!

Head Knowledge vs. Heart Knowledge

Did you know there are two kinds of knowledge: head knowledge and heart knowledge?  Just as there are too realms we deal with, the spirit realm and the physical realm, there are different kinds of knowledge in each of those realms. When you first hear the Word, it gets into your head. Hopefully, you agree with it. This is called mental assent because you are mentally agreeing with what you have heard. You acknowledge that Word is true, but this is not heart knowledge and there’s no power in it.

To get heart knowledge you have to get the Word down into your spirit where it can develop by watering it with the Word itself. This is what we call renewing your mind. Meditate and confess it over and over. Then at some point, you’ll speak it forth with power and healing will manifest. This is awesome!

Ephesians 4:23 (KJV) ²³  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

Confession of the Word means to say the same things that God has said in His Word. You are agreeing with His Word when you confess it, speak it forth.

Remember, God always does His part. He will always do His part. But we have our part to do too. He won’t do our part and we can’t do His. Thankfully we are well able to do our part and enjoy the magnificent blessings of our Covenant that God so graciously gave us.

Every promise of God is for us. We can only get from God what He has already given in His Word. That’s why it’s so important that we know and value the Word. It’s our life-line!

Psalm 119:105 (KJV) ¹⁰⁵ Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:130 (KJV) ¹³⁰  The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
1 Thessalonians 2:13 (KJV) ¹³  For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
Proverbs 4:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

Hear & be Healed

We hear a lot of things on a daily basis – traffic, people talking on their cell phones, radio, TV, etc. Noise, noise, and more noise! But as you know, just because we hear something doesn’t mean faith in God comes. Hearing the words of the devil will cause faith in his words to come to you! That’s not what you want. And just because you hear someone speak Scriptures, doesn’t mean faith comes. So what does HEAR really mean and what is it we need to hear?

Romans 10:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

We need to hear the anointed Word of God – the Rhema Christos. When you do hear the anointed Word, then faith comes if you’ll receive it. Think of a time when you heard some preaching and it was Scripture but it was so dry. That’s an example of preaching that’s not anointed even though the Word was spoken. There’s a difference. When you hear the anointed Word, it stirs you up and empowers you to believe that what God has said is true and then you can act on it.

When you hear the anointed Word, listen intently with your heart – not just with your physical ears. Absorb it, chew on it, and internalize it. Then as you continue to hear the anointed Word, it will get into your heart and develop and voilà – results!

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?

Do You have Faith?

Romans 12:3 (KJV) ³  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

God didn’t give degrees of faith. He gave each born-again person the same measure of faith, which is a measure of His faith! We all start with the same lump of faith. What you do to develop it will determine how powerful you will be in using it. And that depends on renewing your mind to what God has already provided for us.

Don’t save your faith for a “rainy” day when you have a really big problem. Exercise it on little things to strengthen and develop it into really strong faith, powerful enough to move mountains. Actually, you only need a mustard seed-size of faith to move mountains but it has to be developed by the Word of God and not contaminated by unbelief. It’s not how big it is but how developed it is. 

Matthew 17:20 (KJV) ²⁰  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Faith is like a muscle. You don’t get more muscles as you grow and mature. You exercise those muscles to develop and strengthen them. It’s the same with faith.

Study faith. Read faith books. Listen to faith teachings. Become a faith giant! The faith in your reborn spirit is a fruit and even though it’s perfect, it needs to grow and develop to produce the manifestation of what we believe. Yes, it takes effort to develop strong faith, a lot of effort! But it’s worth it. Whatever you invest in is what you value and what you don’t invest in, you don’t value.

Do You have Faith?

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) ⁶  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.

Since the promises of God are only accessed by faith, we need to ask yourselves if we’re actually operating in faith. That’s a key to the power of God.

Putting your trust in God and not in your own works is a vital key to understanding God’s way of doing things. Do you have faith? Yes you do if you’ve been born-again! Faith is in your reborn spirit when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If God hadn’t given you faith to get saved, you couldn’t have gotten saved.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) ²²  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
²³  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Fruit of the Spirit should read spirit because it’s not the Holy Spirit’s fruit. It’s the fruit of your reborn human spirit.

Notice that faith is one fruit of your reborn spirit. You have faith in you and according to Galatians 2:20, it’s the faith of the Lord Jesus. How can we miss it if we have the faith of Jesus in us! We need to renew our minds to know what we actually have in order to walk in what God has given us. [Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:23]

Galatians 2:20 (KJV)
²⁰  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

God has Always had a Plan!

Isaiah 46:10 (KJV)  ¹⁰  Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

In God’s eyes, mankind was already redeemed. God knew the end from the beginning. There was no more to do. So when we came along, why did we think we had to do something to gain what was already ours?

I’ll tell you why: The devil deceived people into a “works mentality” to keep them under his demonic thumb. If he could keep them in a works mentality mode, he could keep them from the promises of God. If he could keep them working for God’s acceptance and approval, they’d never really walk in His promises because the promises of God are only accessed through faith. And in order to use faith, you have to put your trust in God and not in your works.

Under the Old Covenant Law, the people had to obey certain rules if they wanted to be in right standing with God. However, we have a better Covenant, based on better promises that justify us by faith not by the works of the flesh.

Sadly, many people are still trying to please God and gain His approval by the works they do: Bible study, church, prayer, tithes & offerings, etc. It’s the rocking chair syndrome – you’re moving but not going anywhere. These are all good but not to gain God’s approval. It’s what Jesus did that gains us approval by God when we accept it. Praise the Lord!

Hebrews 10:38a (KJV) ³⁸  Now the just shall live by faith: 

Galatians 2:20 (KJV) ²⁰  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

God has Always had a Plan!

Since God has always had a Plan, does that mean that everything that happens is the will of God? Absolutely NOT! God has the perfect Plan for each of us but we have our part to do and that is to cooperate with that Plan. Just because it’s God’s will for us, doesn’t mean that it will automatically come to pass.

Just like salvation is God’s perfect will for each of us but as you know not everyone will be saved because of their free will to choose. [II Peter 3:9]

Romans 4:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

The Plan of Salvation was already in place before Adam sinned. It wasn’t God’s will for Adam and Eve to sin but God, in His foreknowledge, knew what would happen. He was prepared. He had given Adam and Eve (and us) a free will to make their own choices. He is honorable and will never override our free will.

The devil continually tries to override our free will as does the world with its scheming ways. But again I say, God will always honor our free will to make our own choices, even to choosing Heaven or hell by accepting or rejecting Jesus. It’s our decision. Choose Jesus!

God has Always had a Plan!

Isaiah 46:9-10 (KJV) ⁹  Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
¹⁰  Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

God has always had a Plan. He’s the Master Planner. Nothing catches Him off-guard. He has had a Plan from the beginning and you can count on it being fulfilled completely! Once He declares it, you can be sure it will come to pass. None of His Words have ever failed, nor will they ever fail. That’s one sure thing you can stand on. But whether or not you fulfill the plans He has for you is up to you because He has given you a free will and He will not override it, even to the point of letting you choose to go to hell if you want!

Choose life and live in the victory God has for you!

1 Kings 8:56b (KJV) ⁵⁶  … there hath not failed one word of all his good promise,

God wants to heal YOU!

Hebrews 4:1-2 (KJV) ¹  Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
²  For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

God’s kingdom rests entirely on the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ and His provision for us. It’s not based on our good efforts. It’s based on our walking by faith in what He has done – believing and receiving. It’s a done deal!

We need to enter into the rest that God has provided by ceasing from our own works of trying to get God’s approval, but rather relying on what Jesus has done.

Notice in the above scripture that the Word preached did not profit them because they didn’t mix faith with it. The Word was true but not to them because they refused to be persuaded that what God had said was what He would do.

It’s the same with us today. If we want the promises of God to manifest in our lives, we must mix faith with our prayers. God’s promises don’t happen automatically just because we confess them once or twice. Nor do they happen just because it’s God will for us. It’s not a matter of what God can do but on what we can believe and receive!

Our believing has to be mixed with faith in God’s Word and faith that He will do what He said He would do. He’s a Rewarder. He knows what He’s doing and we honor Him by believing His Word.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJ ⁶  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.
