FAITH
HEALING BIBLE STUDY
CHRISTIANITY OASIS
HAS PROVIDED YOU WITH THIS FAITH HEALING BIBLE STUDY. THIS FAITH
HEALING BIBLE STUDY WILL OPEN YOUR EYES, MIND AND HEART
TO WHAT FAITH HEALING IS, HOW FAITH HEALING WORKS AND THE
SOURCE OF FAITH HEALING ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE.
FAITH HEALING IS REVEALED IN THE BIBLE AS A MEANS OF HEALING
OTHERS BY FAITH. THE BIBLE HAS MUCH TO SAY ABOUT FAITH HEALING,
WHO IS ABLE TO DO FAITH HEALINGS AND HOW
FAITH HEALINGS ARE DONE. LET US SEEK AND FIND THE TRUTH OF
FAITH HEALING IN THE BIBLE TOGETHER IN THIS FAITH HEALING
BIBLE STUDY, SHALL WE?
FAITH
HEALING
WHAT IS FAITH HEALING
AND WHO IS GIVEN FAITH HEALING ABILITIES?
THERE
IS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION THAT FAITH CAN BRING FORTH GOD'S
HEALING POWER.
Jesus
healed many and said that it was their FAITH that healed
them.
|
Luke 8:48
And He said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort:
thy faith hath made thee
whole; go in peace. |
|
Luke 17:19
And He said unto him, Arise, go thy way:
thy faith hath made thee whole. |
The
Apostles were also able to heal others who had FAITH.
In
fact, the shadow of Peter was able to heal those with FAITH
...
|
Acts 5:15
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the
streets, and laid them on beds and couches,
that
at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might
overshadow some of them. |
And
even
even
possessions of Paul were able to heal due to FAITH.
|
Acts 19:11-12
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of
Paul.
So that from his body were brought unto the sick
handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed
from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. |
Now
these were not magic shadows, aprons and handkerchiefs, but
rather the FAITH in those who were ill or possessed demons
had brought forth the miracle of healing from GOD..
In
TRUTH ... Even folks today are given the ability to heal in
the name of Jesus.
One of the Spiritual gifts that the Holy Spirit bestows upon
man is the ability to heal others.
Yes,
my friends, it is TRUTH ...
The
Bible is filled with Scriptures about the healing power of
FAITH.
These Scriptures have many souls who are
ill and/or taking
prescription medicine choosing to want to kick the medication
they are taking to the curb and carry on in FAITH that God
will just heal them.
But,
is this wise?
Is
this what Jesus intended when He said ...
"Thy
faith hath made thee whole"
Tho I am a VERY firm
believer in the ability to be healed by FAITH ... I also know that God
created everything. This includes every ingredient necessary
to create prescription drugs and the talent and skill within
the scientists by which to
combine these ingredients to come up with a healing recipe
that actually cures the recipient of said medication.
THINK
ABOUT IT ...
Antibiotics have saved MANY children's lives.
It ... Is a Godsend.
And so is the doctor
that prescribed it.
This
means that many doctors are used as the healing hands
of God.
Does this sound strange?
Was not Luke a physician?
So, this means that
God may (In many cases) use doctors to heal His children.
But
what about the issue of FAITH?
Does
Faith require us to just stop going to doctors or taking
prescribed medication?
MANY
BELIEVE SO AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME TRAGIC ENDINGS DUE TO
THIS LIMITED VIEW OF FAITH HEALINGS.
I had a friend who was diagnosed as having heart problems
and he was given a prescription and told not to stop taking
it. He felt that he was not really having heart problems and
did stop taking the medication and there were other
complications that sprung forth due to this warning on the label ...
Do not stop taking this
medicine abruptly without consulting with your doctor.
During this newest problem, they discovered that he was
misdiagnosed and receiving medication for a heart disease
that he did not have so his FAITH that he did not need the
medicine was correct, but his taking the medication in the
first place and then choosing to stop abruptly without
consulting doctor created another issue.
I question not one's
FAITH of being healed ...
But the method of proving it.
Here
is a lil story ...
|
There
was this woman who did not feel well, so she went to
the doctor. She was told that she had an illness and
needed to take a prescription.
She told the doctor that she would not be taking the
medicine, but would live by Faith and wait upon the
Lord to be healed.
She suffered miserably as time passed and a friend
begged her to just take the medicine. But, she told
her friend that she was trusting on the Lord to heal
her.
She died a few months later because her ailment was
not treated. When she arrived in Heaven, she asked
God, with tears streaming down her face, why He did
not try and heal her.
God said ...
My beloved child ... I provided a doctor, the medicine
needed and a friend to encourage you to take it. |
So, those who are told
by a doctor that they should be taking medication to treat
an illness should not be so quick to believe that doing
NOTHING is the ONLY act of FAITH.
Prayer
is an effective tool and should ALWAYS be done, but one should watch for ALL avenues
by which God may answer said prayer.
Is not
believing that God provided you with the doctor and medication
and believing that the treatment will work, not an act of FAITH?
If you
are one of those who are contemplating trying to heal
yourself by FAITH ... Please
reconsider
your choice to not see a doctor and/or stop taking your prescribed medication until
you have spoken to your doctor(s) about this a lil more. If
you feel you do not need the treatment, maybe a second opinion would be something to consider.
On the other hand it
may be that you will find after talking with doctor(s) that
you should take the medicine. Sometimes we do need physical
medicine and God provided a way for us to receive it.
This
study is not to be seen as being against Faith healing ...
God forbid.
But rather a method of bringing understanding that we should
not limit God's methods of healing.
Take
care and have a SON-derful day.
