Faith that Heals!

So often we pray to God as if He was santa claus or just a miracle giver. I was reading in the book of Matthew the other day and I am not sure why I never really noticed it before but I did that day. See as Jesus went around healing the sick there was one thing He was consistant in saying.. He said " Because of your faith you are healed... It is your faith that heals you.. Your faith has made you well."

So often we operate with the assumtion that in order to be healed or have a prayer answered we have to do nothing but simply ask. It takes two parties to make it work, you and Jesus. It takes you having faith which is a tall order sometimes and then the will of the Lord if it is time to answer prayer.

There is so much to faith than just having it. There comes trust, believing, discipline and obedience. I wish I could cover it all in this blog, truth is I cant. I am not feeling that well and I think that a short blog doesnt do justice. I am praying for a womens fellowship in May or June. For those who have been before, this is the once a month study we used to do. Please pray if the Lords will that he will confirm it to me and show me the right time.

In the meantime, examine where your faith is. Do you have faith that heals or can answer your prayers? Or are you giving the Lord your christmas wish list? I know at times it depends as you are being stretched but remember that God wants us to do our part to!

Praying for Faith that Heals....
