Continuation:

4. Unbelief.

Unbelief is not doubt.  

Previously, we showed scripturally how doubters were reassured and restored. 

Unbelief is also not the opposite of faithlessness. Unbelief is produced from an evil heart!

The Bible says that many Believers depart from God through an evil heart of unbelief (Hebrews 3:12) 

 The Bible describes them as –

“holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them.” (2 Timothy 3:5 AMP)

During the last world health crises, it became very glaring that so many who professed to be Christians were just having a form  of Godliness. Their conduct nullified their claim of faith.

Many are now seriously ill, many died already, while leaving many distraught and angry at God for not healing them.

God is not to blame.

Healing is a DONE DEAL just as forgiveness is too!

Faith plays a major role in linking you up with God’s blessings and miracles. 

God’s power to heal is ever-present: (Luke 5:17) Faith causes it to flow!

*- Look at the case of the woman who had the hemorrhage. ( Mark 5:25-34, Luke 8:43-48,)

She settled her healing in her mind. She had radical faith. And against all odds grabbed the opportunity to exercise her faith. Why? Because she BELIEVED IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST and the power present to heal flowed out to her  and the bleeding stopped!

 If you believe,  you shall see (John 11:40)  

*- Unbelief short-circuits the power flowing from God. 

The Bible records that Jesus Christ ‘did not perform many miracles in his hometown because of their unbelief.’ (Mark 13:58). 

Unbelief reinforces demons:

In the Gospels we have the story of a lad that Jesus healed. Mark referred to it as a deaf and dumb spirit while Mathew called it the spirit of epilepsy.

Previously, the disciples could not heal him and the parents became more distraught. (See Matthew 17:14-21; Mark 9:14-29)

When the disciples wanted to know why the evil spirit resisted them, Jesus said to 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…” (Matthew 17:20‭-‬21 KJV)

Your Part/ #PrayerPoints4Today (10 mins)

1.- Deal with the evils in your heart. 

a.- Ask God to conduct a search of your heart to expose those hidden evils so that you can repent of them. Apply the principle of Heart-Search found in Psalm 139:23-24.

b.-  Confess your sins to God: Apply the grace principle of 1 John 1:9 

“For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly.” ( Mark 7:21-22)

2.- Confess your faith or Belief in God (2 Corinthians 4:13, Romans 10:8-10) 

a.- Make declarations of your faith in God.

3.- Ask God to help your unbelief (Mark 9:24)

a.- Command the spirits of unbelief, evil thoughts, religion, and their relatives to leave you and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ. 

4.- Like the woman with the hemorrhaging,  accept your healing in your heart- internalize your healings and let faith in God’s power to save, heal, deliver, and restore, well-up within you. 

a – Believe that God is Healer and HIS power to heal is ever-present,  and He has healed you

5.- Refuse to accept or own  the diagnoses. Instead, accept in your heart that since Christ Jesus has carried away your sins and sicknesses, you no longer have them. You are free.

6.- Affirm that through this revelation knowledge, you have been delivered from the forces of evils executing sicknesses- call out the diagnoses.

7. Thank God for the manifesting healings, and declare that your Body is God’s temple and there is no accommodation for sicknesses,  diseases or related evils.

8.- Worship in songs and pray in tongues.
