Healing: Faith, Fear & Divine Healing: FIGHTING FEAR

"While He was still speaking, someone came from Jairus', the ruler

of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead.

Do not trouble the Teacher.” But when Jesus heard it, He answered him,

saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, (LUKE 8:49,50)

God has made it abundantly clear through His Word that FAITH is the key to pleasing Him, getting prayers answered and receiving healing. Over and over again Jesus taught that anything we ask BELIEVING we would have it and then reinforced the truth while He was healing by telling the sick He was about to heal to believe and it would be done to them according to their faith.

Faith is the ONLY thing that a Christian has to DO to receive salvation, access God's throne and inherit Covenant promises.

Faith is simply believing, trusting, committing and relying. 

 Faith needs no outer resources, in fact, it wouldn't be FAITH if it did. We know Hebrews 11:1 makes it plain that faith operates in the realm of unseen, so we it gains no fuel from the natural realm but rests solely on the promises that cause us to HOPE.

And this is precisely why the adversary of our soul does everything possible to get us focused on the natural realm, dimming hope and spotlighting the negative of every circumstance igniting the nemesis of FAITH- FEAR.

The Kingdom of Hell is intimidated by FAITH. It knows the power of FAITH. Jesus said, "Everything is possible for him who believes."

That must scare hell!

So you can see that the first thought the enemy wants to put in your mind in every circumstance that has potential for miracles and blessings is FEAR! Fear will steal your focus from the covenant, the ability of God and your faith to believe for them!

We see it happening in the opening verse of this blog. Jairus has a deathly ill daughter at his home. He travels to find this Jesus he has heard about that is healing people. He finds Jesus doing what Jesus does, healing. He tells Jesus of his need and the Healer turns to go to Jarius' house to heal his daughter and BAM! Someone runs up with a bad report to drain Jairus of his hope and faith in what Jesus was going to do for him. They literally say, "Don't bother Jesus anymore, your daughter is dead!" Right there the focus is moved from the hope of healing to giving up and turning hope away from Jesus.

This is what happens to us when we get the "call back" from the doctor the day after a test, or circumstances get worse. We shift our focus from our hope in Jesus to the possibilities of death. Instead of activating our faith, we ALLOW our fear to be activated and thereby we BLOCK the flow of what we need- the promises, the covenant and God's power. Faith makes things possible and fear makes them impossible.


Let me get right to it- 

the moment something causes your focus to be placed on the negative possibilities, instead of activating FEAR, put up your SHIELD OF FAITH by doing THREE THINGS:

 REFUSE! REFUTE! REJECT!

James 4:7 tells us to "Submit yourselves to God, resists the enemy and he will flee from you." Submitting is trust - trust is Faith and belief that "God's got this!" Once you put yourself there you can refuse the intimidation, refute it by claiming the promise and reject the lie!

This must have been the principal at work in Jairus. He refused to do as the messenger said. He continued with Jesus. This very action refuted the argument that it was no use. His simple action of continuing to walk toward his house with The Healer was a rejection that his daughter wouldn't live! WOW!

Nothing is impossible to him that believes!

Divine Healing is being poured out in our time and God's people are rejecting FEAR and intimidation of death and sickness and walking toward their house with THE HEALER fully expecting He will heal.
