Jesus would start teaching again, feeding them more Word to build their faith. Jesus understood when the truths He taught hadn't really registered in the people. He also knew the minute that the truth did register. It would produce healing and wholeness!
Jesus' minstry was teaching, preaching, and healing. If the people didn't get healed, He knew their faith wasn't getting ahold of the truths that he taught. God's Word hadn't yet registered on their hearts.
Jesus had been teaching and preaching all over the region where He grew up. But when He came to the part where He claimed God as healer, no one got it. So Jesus went back to traveling the area again teaching the Word even more.
We are to really make sure that we hear God's Word and build our faith to receive so Jesus can do a mighty work in us.
Jesus went to His home town equipped with signs, wonders and miracles, but only a few with minor illnesses got healed. That was great but Jesus went to do a lot more.
When Jesus was in His own town of Nazareththe people in the synagogue listened to Him,but they didn't hear Him.They murmured and were offended, so Hiswords didn't produce faith there. "he [Jesus]could there do no mighty work, save that helaid hands upon a few sick folk, and healedthem."Because of the people's unbelief, Jesus ofNazareth who was God manifested in theflesh, anointed with the Holy Ghost andpower unlimited. . .could not do any mightyworks.
Receiving from God can be easy when wehear and hear and hear the Word until webelieve it in our hearts.Then we speak the Word from our believingspirit and release power to accomplish thehealing in our bodies.
Galatians 3:5, "He therefore that ministerethto you the Spirit, and worketh miraclesamong you, doeth he it by the works of thelaw, or by the hearing of faith?"The hearing of faith produces miracles.We hear and then God works the miraclesafter we hear. We have to hear first becausewhen we hear, faith rises up within us andit is a spiritual force that releases God'spower.
Paul asked, "Received ye the Spirit by theworks of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"We know we didn't receive the Spirit becauseof any works of the Law, so it's by the hearingof faith.When we hear the Word, it builds our faith toreceive.
It has been said that 99 percent of theproblems we have living by faith or receiving from God result from a lack of knowledge.If we are having trouble receiving from God, we need to hear more of His Word to get more knowledge.
All things are possible to us when we believe.Whosoever shall call on the name of theLord shall be healed.We hear, we call, we believe and we arehealed.
Matthew 21:22, "all things, whatsoever yeshall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." Jesus said, "all things" we ask in prayer,well healing is part of "all things" and ispossible to those who believe.But we must believe to get God's healingpower into our bodies.
To receive the blessing of healing, we mustbelieve.If we don't believe, either we won't call onGod at all, or we won't call on Him in faith.Many have called on God without actuallybelieving and didn't get an answer.
The word 'saved' or 'salvation actually is thetotal of all the blessings given by God to man.That means salvation also includes healing."For whosoever shall call upon the name ofthe Lord shall be saved/healed." Romans 10:13
As we hear and hear the Word of God, faithrises up in us to drive every symptom out ofour bodies, and produces a healing and a curethroughout our entire bodies.
God made it (too) simple for us. He said simply to hear and be healed.So if we are having trouble believing Godfor our healing, don't try to work it up. Goback to the Word and 'hear' what He said.Then just keep on hearing until faith risesup on the inside. Healing will be the result!
Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith cometh byhearing, and hearing by the word of God."Hearing God's Word causes faith to rise upon the inside. When we release that faith, weget results.Mark 9:23 says, "All things are possible tohim that believeth."
Hearing the Word produces belief.We can't call on God unless we believe, andwe can't believe unless we hear.That's why hearing and healing go together.Once we hear, we can believe; and once webelieve, we can be healed.
The Word drives symptoms out of our bodies.That's the connection between hearing andhealing.What we sow in our lives, we reap. We mustplant God's Word to reap life, healing, joy,prosperity, protection, guidance, peace, andsafety, etc.
