FAITH SPEAKS OUT

Mark 5:34
“And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.”

Continuing still on the characteristics of the faith that makes whole, the third characteristic is that, it speaks out. The scripture said, “…for she said, if I may but touch the hem of His garment, I shall be made whole.” 

You cannot be made whole without declaring your faith. I know you might have come across something like this severally, but the issue of speaking out your faith is not something that can be taught too much. This is because, this is how you choose what happens to you, whether you are going to go through life deprived or supplied with the things you desire in life.

The fourth characteristic of the faith that makes whole is that it leaves the past behind. The scripture says, “Faith is now”. You must learn to live in the present, you cannot be locked up in the past failures and expect to be made whole. 

In fact you... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…  

FAITH THAT MAKES WHOLE

Mark 5:34

“And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.”

Let us see from this story of the woman with the issue of blood some things that characterize the faith that makes one whole.

The first thing you notice is that the faith that makes whole comes because you respond to the word that you heard. The Scripture says concerning the woman, “…when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind…” 

She had many reasons not respond, she could say she does not know if this would be like the doctors she had heard about and pursued but nothing came of that venture. No she did like Peter, who said, “Master we have toiled all night and caught nothing, nevertheless, AT THY WORD I will let down the net.” 

You cannot allow past negative experiences to hold you back from the possibility of a new reality. If you are to be made whole in any situation, you must determine that you will always respond to the word of God that comes to you.

The second thing that characterizes the faith that makes... 

BE MADE WHOLE!

Mark 5:34

“And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.”

The essence of our faith is for us to receive wholeness from God, this means the ability to believe God should add to us such that wherever there is a lack in our lives, through faith in God we can make a demand for supply to come in. This can happen whether it is spiritual, physical, material, financial or social. 

This is why your faith in God can bring wholeness to your life. The book of James puts it like this: “…that you may be perfect wanting nothing”. It is rendered thus in the amplified translation: “…so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking nothing.” Do you accept the possibility of such a state?

When the woman met Jesus, she needed not only a physical touch, but material and financial because her sickness had impoverished her. So Jesus knew what He was saying when He said, “Daughter thy faith hath made thee whole.” 

Notice, “whole” not “healed” implying she got more than physical healing when she made that touch of faith. You too can be made whole when you make a touch of faith. Make that touch today and you too shall be made whole.

CONFESSION: I CAN TOUCH GOD WITH MY FAITH, THEREFORE I CAN BE WHOLE AND I AM WHOLE.

YOU ARE CAPABLE OF HAVING FAITH IN GOD

 “Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God…” Romans 14:22

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered.” Mark 11:22

We are still asking and answering the question, Have you faith? And I say a categorical YES. You have faith. On what authority can anyone say he has faith? On Jesus’ authority. Jesus said in our second text, “have faith in God.” 

 Now you know He would not ask you to have faith in God if you are incapable of having faith in God. So for the simple reason that Jesus asked you to have faith means you have faith, because if anybody should know, it would be Jesus. 

The main issue is not that people don’t have faith, it is that they... https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss…  

CONFESSION: I have faith in God, and it is working for me.
