THE GIFT OF BELIEVING THAT THE EXTRAORDINARY IS POSSIBLE
I WAS 12 ON THE BRINK OF DEATH FROM A SEVERE HEAD INJURY – MY BRAIN HAD SHIFTED DUE TO A MASSIVE COLISION WITH THE CORNER OF A TABLE:
· I AM GLAD THAT MY GRANDFATHER DID NOT SAY: WELL, LET’S JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS
o IM GLAD, IN THAT MOMENT, HE HAD THE FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT GOD COULD AND WOULD DO SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY – SUPERNATURAL – ON THAT HOSPITAL ROOM
· SAY WHAT YOU WILL – WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT MOMENT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF
o HEALING
o AND A MIRACLE
o ALL BY THE SOVEREIGN HAND OF THE LORD THROUGH THE HUMAN CHANNEL OF A HUMAN BEING, WHO IN THAT MOMENT BELIEVED

How Can You Know If You Have the Gift of Faith?

1.
Is your belief in God biblical and whole life invasive?
Is He sovereign?
2. Do you have crazy courage to act/believe for Christ in the face of huge obstacles?

GIFTS (PLURAL) OF HEALING
PLURAL

§ Epaphroditus
§ Timothy
§ Trophimus
ALWAYS THE SOVEREIGN ACT OF GOD
o Sometimes God simply heals (John 5:6-9 pool of Saloam)
o Sometimes connected with our own faith
§ Matt 9:20-22
o Something connected with the faith of another
§ Mark 2:1-5
o Point: SOMETIME GOD HEALS IN A SOVEREIGN ACT UNRELATED TO US AND THEN OFTEN TIMES HE HEALS IN CONNECTION TO FAITH

o NOT ON A WHIM
DOES MEAN – HE IS STILL ABLE TO DO IT

2. FAITH THAT IS CONFIDENT IN GOD’S ABILITY TO HEAL
3. FAITH THAT IS CONFIDENT IN GOD’S DESIRE TO HEAL
