The substance of faith is our action that corresponds to what we believe. The evidence of faith is the action that reveals we believe what the Scriptures say without seeing it first. This is what the Scripture says is how we respond to the word of God for it to produce life in reality. So, we can live our brand, which is the new life; the life of Jesus Christ!
Jesus brought healing to humanity and we all have full access to it through salvation in Christ. When we receive Christ in our lives, we receive healing also and all other blessings of God in Christ Jesus. Healing is a gift that has been freely given to everyone by God through Jesus Christ; it cannot be paid for.
No matter the length or number of hours you spend praying, you cannot get anything from God if you are not asking in faith according to the Scriptures. From the above Scripture, we are instructed to ask in faith. And that we will not receive anything from the Lord except we ask in faith. Simple enough right? So, let’s do it then.
Pleading the blood is a good way to stand on the benefit of the blood against Satan. By pleading the blood of Jesus, you are saying to Satan, “I am not guilty just as they plead in court. I am not guilty. My sins are washed away by the blood and you have no more legal standing to afflict me. The sting of death is sin but where there is no sin, death has no more sting. Christ has made me righteous and holy and I am purified by faith that is in Christ Jesus and washed in the blood.”
As Christians, we must now carry out and live life like we KNOW death and sin have no more power over us. We must claim all the promises we have in Christ Jesus! Christ did not just die for dying sake. He died for a purpose and that purpose is to pay for our sins, pay all the penalties of our sin and restore us back to God as our Father. Christ died to also take our place and we take His place. Believe and receive. God cannot now give you sickness after all of this.
Salvation is not only about the forgiveness of sins but the mercy of God upon mankind. God saves us by grace when we believe. It’s not by works of righteousness but by the Grace of God. We do not have the power or ability to overcome the sinful nature we inherited from Adam, but by the grace of God, we are able to.
When Jesus was crucified, we were also crucified with Him. When He died on the cross, we died with Him too. When He was buried, we were also buried with Him. Then when He triumphed over death, that is when he resurrected, we became alive in Him with a new life.
Experiencing salvation is the core of a believer’s walk of faith. Salvation is a package of blessings and privileges that the Lord Jesus paid for us to have freely with His life and His blood. It is received only by faith because it is given as grace; unmerited favor. Salvation among other privileges gives us access to God and the privilege to call Him Abba Father.
We were saved by grace through faith. This is not of works but a gift from God. We need to have a working knowledge of our salvation. If we don’t have knowledge of our salvation, we won’t know the benefits of it. It is important to know what we’ve been saved from by receiving salvation.
. To get results in our prayer lives, we need to give active attention to God’s word. We must understand the word with our hearts and not with our heads. You can’t have an intellectual discourse of the bible and expect to grow spiritually. You can have a mental accent and quote scriptures but that would amount to nothing until it gets to your heart; your spirit. The word gets into your heart, then understanding it gives you revelation, and that is how your life is changed.
