Simple
Steps to Miracle Healing
Open the Spout Where the Healing
Comes Out
by Pastor John Hamel
“And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a
man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him,
saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he put forth his
hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the
leprosy departed from him.” (Luke 5:12-13)
Many people don’t
know that it’s always God’s will to heal
them. That is, if they’re meeting the conditions for healing.
They pray like this leper prayed, “Lord, if it be Your will, heal
me.”
You’ll notice in this narrative Jesus corrected the man’s prayer
by saying, “I will” or “It is My will” and then healed him.
Jesus proved
His will to heal that day. He has not changed. (Hebrews 13:8)
Someone asked, “If
it’s always God’s will to heal, how come everybody doesn’t
receive healing?”
Simple. As I’ve already stated,
everyone isn’t meeting all of the conditions.
I always encourage
people to examine themselves in the area of bitterness and unforgiveness. Those two will surely “block the
spout where the healing power comes out.” (Mark 11:25; James 3:13-18)
If all is well in those areas and
you’re living clean, the steps taken by this leper will produce tremendous
results, if you’ll expect them to.
(Luke 1:37)
This man also fell on his face before Jesus. This
was a complete act of humility.
Some people are afraid to ever be seen kneeling before Jesus. Some
people are even too proud to let others know they believe in Jesus.
That’s definitely not conducive to receiving miracle healing.
Jesus
said He would be ashamed of anyone who was ashamed of Him. (Matthew
10:32,33) It just doesn’t make sense to think you’ll receive healing
when you’re ashamed of the Healer.
Ask Him to help you with this.
He promises to do so. (John 16:23)
Once on his face,
the man began to worship
Jesus.
Although this narrative doesn’t use the actual word “worship,”
it’s clear that falling on one’s face before God is an act of worship as
well as an act of humility.
This man was seeking a relationship with
the Healer, not just a healing. Many are only looking for what they
can get out of Jesus but have no interest in living for Him. They
want to be healed so they can continue to sin with gusto!
This never
works. The Bible says that those who seek the Lord, not just His
power, will receive. (Psalm 34:10)
This leper then
called Jesus his “Lord.” This indicates that he
was indeed willing to submit to Him as His servant.
Jesus wants a
commitment from you for a reason. He knows if He heals you and you
walk away from Him, you’ll become seven times worse off than you are
now. Look it up in your Bible! (Matthew 12:43-45)
He loves you
too much to allow that to happen.
Say, “Jesus, You’re my choice as Savior and Healer.” (Romans
10:13)
Then commit to Him that you’ll hook up with a Pastor who believes in Jesus’ healing
power. You need to be filled with God’s Word
to keep that sickness from returning.
Finally, the leper
sought Jesus with his whole heart.
The Bible says he “besought”
Jesus. He pled with Jesus earnestly. He wasn’t a
“player.” He wasn’t attempting to use Jesus.
You can’t use
anyone, especially Jesus and get away with it. That always catches up
with people. Particularly when they’re
elderly and lacking the strength to protect themselves from their own
corrupt harvest. (Galatians 6:7,8)
You can’t use people and you can’t
use Jesus either, not if you’re seeking miracle healing.
Do the little
things. Humble yourself. Fall on your face. Worship
Jesus. Call Him “Lord” and seek Him with your whole heart.
He’ll do the big thing and send His miracle healing power into your body!
Be Blessed … John
