“ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH, BE IT UNTO YOU!”
Matthew 9:29 --- Jesus said, “according to your faith be it unto you!” Here he was talking to a blind person:
Healing for the blind person was not based upon Jesus or the disciple’s faith: It was according to the blind person’s faith:
There will be no difference for you: You will receive nothing for yourself based upon my faith, the pastor’s faith or anyone else’s faith:
Your receiving will be according to your faith! (How is your faith) You can stand there for months trying to get your desires on someone else’s faith, but nothing will happen:
Even though, Jesus had strong faith, if the blind person would have expected to receive their sight based upon Jesus’ faith, they would have remained blind:
It was not based upon Jesus’ willingness to heal! He is always willing but waiting on us: He is constantly looking for faith: (I know I am repeating myself in this teaching and doing it on purpose trying to get the point across to you, that anything from God will happen according to your faith)! He loves to give, he desires to heal, he desires to supply all our needs, but he can’t, if you don’t have faith!
Faith is the catalyst that puts action to your prayer: I have seen people stand in line for prayer for healing and leave disappointed because it did not happen: They would go away and say, well that proves it, that faith stuff does not work!
Well, there are other factors involved in not receiving: It could be that you do not believe you are healed based upon feeling after hands were laid on you and the prayer of faith prayed!
Faith is not, nor ever will be done by feelings: You might feel what your faith has received, but faith is not a feeling, it is faith in God and his word. Yes, the feeling will come, but don’t base your faith on the feeling! Base your faith on God and his word!
If the blind person would have acted on feeling, he would have walked away just as blind after Jesus spoke to him and said, “according to your faith be it unto you.” If there was no faith!
This person had to hear the words of Jesus or heard about someone else who received by faith, in order to have the faith to be made whole:
Example: In 2016, I was diagnosed as a diabetic; I went up and got into the word and prayer, then went and got into a prayer line: I was prayed for by a person who was strongly anointed, but walked away still feeling the same as when I walked in: However, I did not get discouraged and say, “this faith stuff don’t work!”
No, I left their praising God that I received my healing: I also went home and continued taking my medicine that was prescribed to me by the doctor and did not waver on the fact that I did not feel healing. I continued my faith confessions, I changed my diet and even now in 2019, I have some symptoms, but I refused to let those issues discourage me:
One time in the evening, I was in my chair watching a word teacher and it was time to go to bed. I shut the TV off and turned my radio on to KN YD and just as it started to play, I felt a surge of power go down across my back and out of the area of the end of my spine. It alerted me so much, I said, “Father, what was that?” Immediately, I heard him say to me, I just gave you a new pancreas! I stood there for a while praising God, then went to bed. You might ask, did you go and have picture’s taken of the new pancreas? No, I accepted those words in faith, and have not doubted those words to this day!
I used the word and built a confession of faith: I speak the confession daily, even to this day! I also speak a confession over my finances every day and I am telling you, the word works!
Now, I still feel some symptoms, I refuse to doubt the fact that I am healed: I see great, positive changes being made in my body:
In May 2019, I had a check up at my Doctors office and my sugar count was in the normal person’s range: He was happy and so was I: Now, I did not throw away my medicine, but still take it, but daily speaking God’s word, faith-based words, over my body and I notice great changes happening every day!
No where in the Bible, does it tell you that, because you see no change in your body or life that God’s word did not work! No! God’s word is still working in my body: I feel God’s word working in my body daily!
My body has become stronger and stronger each day: I exercise everyday which is helping me keep my strength. I am fully expecting my Doctor to tell me I am normal and take me off of the medicine:
In October of 2019, I had an eye doctor’s appointment for shots in my eyes, due to diabetes: He stated everything was looking good and the swelling has gone down to where my eyes are normal: He went ahead and put medicine in my eyes and gave me another appointment for a checkup: I am expecting another great report and expecting, eventually to get a report that my eyes are well and in no more need for medicine put into them:
Now, I was at first, disappointed, when I did not receive my healing manifestation immediately after hands were laid on me and the prayer of faith was given, but I stuck with the word of God, that said, by his stripes, I am healed:
If you have been believing God for something and it has not yet manifested, don’t give up on your faith, strengthen it!
Deny the devils right to stop your faith: He is a loser, so don’t listen to him: Speak what God says, regardless:
UNTIL NEXT TIME REMEMBER!
JESUS IS STILL LORD!
