E Never give up.
Although many faith healers simply resort to “not enough faith”
and site verses like
and retold
“even Jesus couldn’t do miracles because of their unbelief.”
But notice He still was able to lay hands on a few sick people and heal them.
I agree faith needs to be present for healing.
but as long as the faith is present in someone involved, healing can take place.
Miracles seem to prevented completely by lack of belief.
but healing can take place as long as someone believes.
So let’s be clear… faith is required
but evening having enough faith does not guarentee a healing will take place.
Their can be other things that hinder healing.
that’s what we want to get into today.
now please hear me.
If you are someone who has been seeking healing and have not yet received it.
I am not saying “there’s your problem”
rather I’m saying these are the things that can hinder healing.
seek Holy Spirit to reveal the foothold the enemy has on you.
What door has been opened that needs to be shut!
What stronghold has the enemy established that required to be broken down!
If you are battling one or more of these things, yes they can be hindering your healing.
deal with them openly and honestly, and that will create a pathway for God will to be fully realized in your life.
Let’s start with #1
this is #1 for a reason
in my experience this is the most common reason why healing is hindered.
1. Unforgiveness
Unforgiveness the cancer of the soul
it gives the enemy opportunity to prevent God’s will being done in your life
in place of God’s will it affords him opportunity to carry out his own.
The enemy knows this, and systematically attempts to distance people from God through this tool of unforgiveness
CS Lewis said, “To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.”
How do you know you have forgiven someone?
2. Un-confessed Sin
We commit sin specifically, we have to confess specifically.
Yes general prayers of fogiveness will grant forgiveness and gives you salvation
but still allow the enemy a foothold.
3. Pride/false humility
God is the healer and so if God is resisting or opposing you because of your pride can you see how that may be a real hindrance to your healing.
Often christians misinterprett pride for humilty
We may think we’re being humble when we’re actually robbing God of the glory He so much deserves
If you accept your sickness instead of the plan God has to heal, that’s rooted in pride!
Do you think God gets glory from our suffering?
God gets the glory from the healing
4. Feel undeserving of healing
Someone can feel they are not worthy of being healed.
They think their request is simply not important in all that God has to do.
They believe they are not deserving of such a miracle.
No one can earn healing, it is God's gift just like the rest of his grace toward us.
But you can put yourself in position to be healed.
5. Refusal to see Medicine as a Way God Heals
Prayer for healing and medical care should be pursued.
To think there is only one way of healing is to limit what God can do.
God may use another avenue for your healing.
Medicine can be the course God has for you to travel in your healing.
The Bible mentions various medical treatments, all of which are what we today would consider holistic.
Luke who was a physician penned a significant portion of the NT
Paul advised Timothy to use wine for stomach ailments
In those days wine was considered a medical treatment
People applied bandages to wounds
used oil and wine as topical agents
This doesn’t mean that modern surgery or pharmaceuticals are unbiblical,
only that, when the Bible was written, those treatments had not yet been invented.
There is no reason to believe that we shouldn’t use whatever methods are at our disposal to improve or correct our health.
Unless of course if God specifically tells you otherwise.
God may have another plan for you, and its more important to obey Him
but just make sure your hearing from Him clearly!
6. Erroneous Theology
Some people cannot be healed because they believe God's healing ministry has ceased to function.
They are Cessationists.
They believe we are in another dispensation where miraculous healings no longer occur.
It's hard to be healed when your theology does not allow for divine healing anymore.
7. non-specific prayers
Our prayers may not be specific enough for us to be healed.
Jesus always encourages specific prayers.
We may pray for physical healing when the real need is for emotional healing.
Our prayers may be too surface and not get down to the root issue that needs to be healed.
8. Accomodation of sickness
Some accept their sickness as a way of life.
They give up hope for healing.
Like the man who had been crippled for thirty-eight years they have accommodated themselves to their lot in life.
Jesus initiated the healing of this man and commanded him to take action.
When he did he was instantly healed and could walk.
9. Neglect of Natural Means of Health
God has designed us to function optimally with the appropriate amount of sleep.
Our bodies are made for physical exercise and healthy eating.
When we neglect our bodies we limit the healing God can give us.
10.
Belief that sickness is required by God
Sickness was never part of God’s plan
but rather a deviation caused by the fall.
Some respond to sickness by believing God uses it to teach them a lesson or to share in the sufferings of Christ.
Yes that’s true God can use it
