If we do Bible things in Bible ways we get Bible results. We’re going to jump right in this today, so open your bibles to Romans 3:27 which reads, “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.“
Christians must realize that the Kingdom of God operates by law. I’m not talking about the Old Covenant Law of Moses, for that has ended for the Christian. The word law basically means something that ALWAYS works. The law of gravity, laws of physics, laws of aerodynamics, etc, etc. were established on earth by God. Our Father God has also established laws or principles that always work if you follow the principles that make it operate. There is a law that operates salvation: Romans 10:9-10 reads, 9) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Now, every promise in the Word of God is activated in the same manner. The word save, saved, and salvation come from the Greek work sozo, which means saved, healed, whole, blessed, prospered, and delivered. If you operate according to the Biblical steps then the laws of the Kingdom work well. If you operate outside of the Biblical steps they don’t work just like operating contrary to the law of gravity and stepping off a ten story building will kill you. So many Christians operate outside of the laws of healing. They say God is GOING to heal me, or we ask God to heal someone. Those are both wrong, for you see, He has ALREADY healed you. First Peter 2:24 b says, “…by whose stripes ye WERE healed.” This is past tense. In other words, Jesus has already healed you. It’s already done. It’s up to you to believe it and receive it. This is the reason so many precious, sweet and wonderful Christians die believing God is GOING to heal them. You have to believe in the FINISHED work, not only on the cross, but also on the FINISHED work of the whipping post. The laws that govern faith and healing (as well as ALL the promises in the Word of God) are the same laws that it takes to receive the desired results. If we are ignorant of the laws of the Kingdom, then this becomes a hindrance to receiving healing or anything else for that matter. Mark 11: 23 says, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” This is how you operate within the law of faith and healing. Anything outside of these parameters might kill you. It’s not that God killed you, or let you die, you operated outside of the ways of the Kingdom. Now, let me give you a Biblical example. Mark 5:25-35 reads, 25) And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years. 26) And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27) When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28) For she said, if I may touch but this clothes, I shall be whole. 29) And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30) And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31) And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, who touched me? 32) And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33) But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34) And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. Faith is governed by law and this lady operated within that law. Here are the steps:
If you operate within the instructions the Lord gave us in the Word, things happen. If we do Bible things in Bible ways we get Bible results. Doc Sharp Make it Yours Faith Confessions
