1. Diligently listen to God's voice

2. Live righteous lives in His sight

3. Give ear to His commandments

4. Keep all His statutes "[see Ex.15:26].

This includes His statutes about healthy living!

5. Do not argue with God when He hast already spoken cf. (LUK 1:20) And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. (ASV)cf.vs. 63&64

6. Believe that God is good (JAM 1:17) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning. (ASV)

(MAR 10:18) And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, {even} God. (ASV)

6. Know that some Healings take a little Time cf.[John 4:50-54.].(Mark 8:22-25 KJV)

(22) And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

(23) And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. (24) And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. (25) After that he put {his} hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

7.Believe when you pray cf.[Mk.11:24;1 Thess.2:13Ps.50:14&15.].

8.Be thankful to God for what He has done! cf.[Psa.50:14-15.].2CH 20:19

9.Praise God cf.[Ps.50:14-15;2 Chron.20:18-19.]. And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a loud voice on high. (KJV)

2CH 20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the Lord; for his mercy {endureth} for ever. (KJV)

2CH 20:22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. (KJV)

10.Listen to the Bible and not the Devil! cf.[Matt.4:4,7,10,&11;Eph.4:27;Jas.4:7.].

MAT 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that procedeth out of the mouth of God. (KJV) (Please note life comes from the word that proceedeth out of God's mouth.).MAT 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. (KJV)

EPH 4:27 Neither give place to the devil. (KJV)

JAM 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (KJV)

 

 

APPROPRIATING

---------------------------------

WHO IS TO HAVE THE FAITH

Each person seeking should have their own faith for healing, and not depend on the faith of another! (Matthew 9:27-30 KJV)

(27) And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, {Thou} Son of David, have mercy on us. (28) And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. (29) Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. (30) And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See {that} no man know {it}.

MAR 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. (KJV)

 

However sometimes God will honor the faith of others

MAT 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee. (KJV)

MAT 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great {is} thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. (KJV)

(James 5:14-16 KJV)

(14) Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him,

anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: (15) And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. (16) Confess {your} faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (Acts 14:8-10 KJV)

(8) And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who neve had walked: (9) The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, (10) Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.

 

Know that every Christian who comes to Jesus for healing in faith and truth will be healed!

JOH 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (KJV)

To come to Jesus in truth, is to have God's words in you, to be open to the leading and correction of God in your life.

JOH 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (KJV)

[please note that we are to "abide"]
