”And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,“Luke 6:17 (NKJV); Matthew 15:30(NIV) ; Luke 5:15(NIV).
Even now many supernatural miracles are happening when the sick hear Jesus being preached and then they seek healing for their bodies and deliverance from demonic attacks. Many testimonies are broadcasted of incurable conditions got cured, demons fleeing from their bodies, mental conditions are set right from addictions and bad behaviours. Glory to God, still many preachers are in operation all over the world, who are empowered by the Holy Spirit and fire, doing miracles and signs as was in Jesus’ time and His disciples’ time.
Faith comes from Hearing the Word about Christ:
”How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not all the Israelites accepted the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?” Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.“ Romans 10:14-17 (NIV)
All the followers of the Lord Jesus have the responsibility to preach about Christ Jesus, that He is God and the demons flee; He is the healer and all kinds of sicknesses leave when His presence comes into the crowd of people who seek Him for help. When people around us hear about Jesus and He is able to solve their problems through us, their faith can be built up to receive miracles for their situations. Even people got their financial problems solved and had children, who were previously called barren, when they came and totally trusted Jesus without doubt. James 1:6-8(NIV)
Without Faith it is Impossible to Please God:
”Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.“ Hebrews 11:1-3, 5-6 (NIV)
Faith is seeing the things with your spiritual eyes way before you see them physically, baring five senses and logics, just as God sees. Because God had kept everything in the spirit realm for us to receive in the physical realm when you call on Jesus’ Name. This is what many saints who were before us did or who are among us are doing even now to receive miracles. If you want to please God you should have faith in Jesus. Because through faith in Jesus alone God can give all that you are asking for. Nothing else is needed. See the multitudes came to Jesus were not sinless, yet they received healings by faith and their sins Jesus forgave too. Luke 5:17-20(NIV)
