I believe that the biggest things we have to learn is that almost everything that God is going to do.... He has already done in His Son.
Jesus said It is Finished and often God points out in His Word what we have received. It is sad that the church has postponed so much to "when we get to heaven then....." (heaven is a temp. place anyway until Christ comes back to the earth and will take us with Him to receive our new bodies here) and missing out.
We sometimes say, God doesn't heal anymore in the same way He doesn't save anymore
as Jesus paid for all sin, sickness and bondage 2000 years ago the cross and it is done deal (1 Peter 2:24), though it is true that the Holy Spirits draws us close, we made that decision to believe in His finished work. The sad thing is that we were never told that healing and deliverance were also part of that same package, the atonement.
John G Lake often told the people that if they would accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior that they would be healed as well as Jesus did both and guess what, often people took hold of that and experienced healing the same moment their spirit got born again. How can they believe without hearing and how can they hear without being preached at?
The Bible gives us only two reasons for failure. Jesus said to the Pharisees. Because of your traditions you make of no effect the Word of God and often these tradition that we have done for so long in church keep us just like the Pharisees to believe His Word. Then there is Jesus who told His very own disciples that they could not heal the boy because of the unbelief in Matthew 17:20. See that Jesus didn't rebuke that boy for not having enough faith but the ones who prayed, His disciples (despite that they had seen already a lot of healings before, this one was tough) as so often when there are no results the blame is put on sick person and such accusation comes straight out of hell.
Jesus never, ever said to someone directly that he/she could not be healed because of a lack of faith as He prayed Himself and applied His faith. Yes, often He said to those that stepped out in faith (think about the woman with the issue of blood who said in her heart, if I touch the hemb of his garment I shall be healed - she determined how things would go) your faith has made you well.
If we don't know the Lords will in a certain area there is no way we ever will be able to pray in faith, to thank Him that we have received that, what we have prayed for, without seeing it yet according to Mark 11:24.
The good thing is that Jesus said to the guy who asked Him, Lord, if you are willing you can make me clean (in the Greek the ongoing tense is many times not properly translated)...I am always willing! Enjoy the video brothers and sisters.
