We are to say what God says about us!

"I know I'm healed because the Bible says so. God says healing is mine and I have whatever God says!"
To produce faith we need to:
listen to good teachings on healing,
read good books on healing,
speak the verses on healing,

and act like we are healed,
ALL until faith is strong enough to produce the manifestation of healing.
Belief produces rest and what we hear determines what we believe.

If we see we haven't entered into the rest of faith,
we are not suppose to waste our time feeling condemned, discouraged or upset about it;
we are to realize our belief isn't strong enough yet to produce rest.

What do we do? Go to God's Word!
"For only we who believe God can enter into his place of rest."
Hebrews 4:3 TLB

When we are in a difficult situation and we need a miracle, we must locate what we believe.

Do we believe what God's Word says or what people or circumstances say?
When we need healing in our body, we must put our faith in God and His Word and enter into rest.

We enter into rest by believing God's Word.

We are confident we are healed; for we know our God has already won our victory.
"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."
Hebrews 4:1,2
Hebrews 4:3 talks about the rest of faith, "For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, . . ."

God isn't talking here about physical or mental rest.

Even when our minds give us fits, a quiet peace is deep down inside.
Everything is looking bad; it sounds and feels bad.

There seems to be no way out. But for some reason we can't work up worry.

People may ask why. We just walk around grinning; everything will be all right!

How do we know? We just know!

That's called 'the rest of faith'!
Lord is my shepherd


Our faith rests in God's Word which is greater than symptoms or circumstances.

We can be of good cheer no matter what we see or how we feel!
Problems of life come to all and there's no denying it.

We put our faith in something bigger, better and higher; God's Word!
Faith doesn't deny symptoms or circumstances.

It doesn't bury its head in the sand and hopes problems go away.

Faith faces problems head on and says, "It may look bad, but I have inside information. I'm coming through this as an overcomer in Jesus Christ!"
Heart faith says, ' I see the problems or symptoms, but no matter what, the Bible is my final authority. It will be as God's Word promises me.'

Heart faith fixes its attention on the Word and always finishes with 'I believe God no matter what it looks or feels like!'
How can we know if we're really in heart faith and not head faith or mental assent?

Head faith says 'I believe the Word, but look at the size of my problem' OR 'I believe I'm healed, but I feel so sick or hurt so bad, OR 'Did you hear what the doctor said?'.

Head faith is "but" faith. . . I believe but!
We must confess from a believing heart that Jesus is our Savior and He is our Healer!

We receive healing now by the stripes of Jesus.
When we receive Jesus as our Healer, we count it done in Jesus' name.

We don't need to check to see if we feel healed. We aren't healed because we feel better.

We are healed because the Bible says so.

If we hold fast to our faith, our healing will come to pass just as it did with salvation. Many times we didn't feel saved but we were.
Healing is simple: God wants us well !!

We know Jesus' body was broken so we can have His health.

So right now we can believe we receive our healing.
We are healed by faith just as we are saved by faith.

When we learn to take advantage of what already belongs to us, we will walk in blessings far beyond what we can ask or think.
Think about it; was it difficult to get saved? No!

We simply found out God loved us, believed in our hearts Jesus was raised from the dead and confessed Him as our Savior.

Healing is received the same way. We find out healing is God's will for us, believe in our hearts we receive our healing and confess Jesus as our Healer.
