According to thy faith.

According to thy faith.

Matthew  8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.  8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.  8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.  8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Matthew  9:27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.  9:28 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.  9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Matthew  9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:  9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.  9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Hebrews  11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Beloved Brethren, you have access to God as your Father to give you good things.

Matthew  7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.  7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?  7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?  7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Healings   and deliverances are in deed children’s bread .

Matthew  15:21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.  15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.  15:23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.  15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.  15:25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.  15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs.

Mark  7:24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.  7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:  7:26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.  7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.

So because you are a bonafide biblical child of God, your lawful inheritance is this children’s bread.

You are entitled to lifelong healthiness.

3 John  1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

You are entitled to restoration of health, if you are sick.

Jeremiah  30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

But then to a large extent, these two blessings shall be yours only by your personal faith in God.

Matthew  8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Matthew  9:28 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.  9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

Matthew  9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.  9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

No wonder Jesus said, you should have faith in God.

Mark  11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

This is because it takes faith to take anything from God.

Hebrews  11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

So I have good news for you this morning. If you are healthy already, this blessing will be permanent in your life in Jesus name.

Romans  11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

What if you are sick at present?

I have good news for you too.

Luke  21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

You shall surely have testimony of desired healings and deliverances  in Jesus name.

So what do you need to do to access these blessings?

Mark  11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.  11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.  11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

1. Thank God for your good health and tell Him to continue to keep you healthy till Christ comes.

2. Speak to the mountains or challenges and they shall depart in Jesus name.

Remember these:

1.

Speak against the challenges.

Ephesians  3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Jeremiah  32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:  32:27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

God will not live you to continue to suffer. He will deliver you.

Acts  2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Psalms  50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Psalms  46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;  46:3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.  46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.  46:5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

Remember both our Father in heaven and our Lord Jesus Christ have not changed.

Malachi  3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Hebrews  13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Listen to what the word of God says as we pray.

We will pray two different prayers, before asking God for healings and deliverances.

1. For those who are already biblically saved and sanctified.

2 Corinthians  7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2. For those who are aware of sins in their lives.

2 Chronicles  7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their 

sin, and will heal their land.

Let us pray.

Pray for forgiveness and cleansing.

Pray for healings and deliverances.

Let us pray.
