Grace For Healing

Lies Christians Believe about Healing

Today we’re going to look at 5 common lies that Christians tend to believe about healing. This is part 4 of our series on the Woman with the Issue of Blood.

By reading this post, you’ll find greater freedom because lies always keep us limited and bound.

Have you ever thought ‘God won’t heal me now because I’ve made too many mistakes…..God is more likely to heal the super spiritual…..My illness is minor compared to others….’

Oftentimes we confuse human nature with God’s, but the Bible tells us God’s thoughts are so much higher than ours.

3 Easy Ways to Set Your Face Like Flint For a Miracle

To set your face like flint means to be sold out to your cause.

I remember thinking some time ago, If I want a miracle from God, this is the determination I need. In this post, I’ll suggest 3 ways of how to increase determination to invite breakthrough.

For those UK readers, if you’re as old as me you’ll remember the Hillsborough tragedy. 96 people killed during the FA Cup semi-final in 1998.

For 20 years following the incident, parents and families of the victims continued relentlessly in search for truth and justice.

5 Easy Ways to Build Stronger Faith for Healing

Few people had faith stronger than the woman with the issue of blood; Jesus said “Daughter your faith has healed you”.

Today we’re going to look at 3 different types of faith so you can see which one you identify with:

Inactive Faith
Re-active Faith
Proactive Faith

Perhaps you’re concerned that you don’t have enough faith for healing. There are so many people around that say it’s lack of faith that stops God’s healing.

The 5 Greatest Reasons to Share Your Testimony

Today we learn the biblical definition of the word ‘testimony’ (and it’s probably not what you think.) Plus the 5 best reasons to share your testimony today.

Do you need a miracle healing? The key to your breakthrough may very well be in the mouth of someone else.

Someone’s healing depends on what you carry. Your Testimony:

Is prophetic and powerful
Spurs on faith
Heals loneliness
Points people to Jesus
Creates a ripple effect

If the woman with the issue of blood needed to hear about Jesus (aka someone’s healing testimony), in order to receive healing, then the same is true of us.

And, we all love a good story.

When I taught Nursery aged children, I always read a Bible story on a Friday. The children would listen attentively with their jaws open wide, savouring every word from the Children’s Bible.

What is more exciting than a man who ends up in the tummy of a fish or in the lion’s den? Our testimonies point people to the wonder and amazement of our Father who longs for people to see his miraculousness.

Testimonies are real life stories of God’s goodness; so much better than Holywood!

Do NOT be Conformed. 4 Areas that Keep You Stuck

The Bible asks us to NOT be conformed to the pattern of this world’s thinking.

Today we look at 4 areas that can keep us stuck in our thinking whilst on a healing journey. I believe the woman with the issue of blood needed to change her thinking in these areas in order to receive her healing.

Self-righteousness
Not knowing God’s love
Condemnation
Victimhood

I pray this post will help you identify if any of these areas are keeping you stuck a little as you believe God for healing.

Rooted in God’s Love: Step 1 in Healing

If I were to support someone on a healing journey, I would always start by checking how they experience the Father’s heart. Are they rooted in God’s love?

“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” 1 john 4:16

You might be thinking ‘of course I know that God loves me’. But to know that God loves you, and to experience the Father’s heart intimately by being rooted in his love, are not the same.

One is cognitive, the other experiential.

What is the Significance of a Sabbath Healing?

Why did Jesus choose the day of rest, the Sabbath, for some of his healing miracles?

By the end of this post you’ll gain an understanding of why Jesus healed on the Sabbath and what this means for us as New Covenant believers.

Faith in Man or Faith in God? How to be Certain

Today’s post is about how we can determine if our faith is in God or man?

We can have faith in man on 3 levels when believing God for healing.

Faith in medicine
Faith in the church
Faith in self

There can be a very fine line because we need to have faith filled Christians around us and often God does use medicine. It’s also easy to have faith in our faith!

I hope by the end of this post, you’ll be more aware of the danger of trusting in the wrong thing and how easy it is to do.

How to Deal with Shame

Today we’re going to look at how to deal with shame which I believe is often the root cause of our inauthenticity.

Mind-Body doctor Gabor Mate says that inauthenticity causes disease.

I’m going to suggest 3 possible masks you might be wearing to cover up your shame. This will give a greater understanding of how it shows up in your life and hinders your healing.

then I’ll offer ways to deal with the shame God’s way.

So let’s dive in.

Does God Heal Unbelievers?

Does God heal unbelievers or is this a privilege for Christians?

Perhaps you’re believing for a friend’s healing but you have doubts because he’s not a Christian as yet. I hope this post will encourage you in your faith as you stand in the gap for your friend.

Yes I believe God does heal unbelievers!

Today we look at the example of Naaman, who worshipped a different God and so represents the world of unbelievers. God heals him from leprosy even though he isn’t an Israelite.

We’ll also look at how unbeliever’s receive healing so you’ll have a greater understanding the next time you pray for someone.

Does this mean that God will still heal unbelievers today?
