When God speaks to us about something, it is not just an FYI. God gives us information we need to do something. Our part is action! We are commissioned to use the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit Jesus gave us to help others.
Matt 9:35: “Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.”
Luke 6:19: “And the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.”
God has already provided His healing power and placed it on the inside of every born-again believer. He gave us the FYI, now it is up to us to use it and release it. Understanding and using our authority is the key to seeing miracles happen.
Look at how Peter and John ministered healing to the lame man in Acts 3:1-8:
“Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.”
The Lord never told us to pray for the sick in the sense that we ask Him to heal them. He told us to heal the sick. There is a BIG difference between the two. It has to do with operating in the authority and the FYI he has given us.
God wants us to take our authority and command His power. We must generate the power under our command to work. God has already healed everyone who will ever be healed. He did it two thousand years ago when He bore our stripes on His back. Then He deposited His resurrection power inside every believer.
(Eph. 1:19-20): 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places…
For Your Information (FYI) you are loved, and have the power of Jesus Christ LIVING on the inside of you. You are powerful and able to do All Things Through Christ who strengthens you.
