Activate Jesus’ Healing With Your Faith

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, as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed And the whole multitude sought to touch him; for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. -Luke 3:17-19

During Jesus’ ministry, people who wanted their lives changed came to hear Him and be healed. Verse 19 reveals what happened when they came: “For there went virtue out of him and healed them all.” You see, the virtue, or power of God flowed out of Jesus to heal the multitude when the people operated in faith. And when did they operate in faith? After they heard the Word.

Once the people heard, their faith rose up and released the healing power in Jesus. But the power didn’t flow out of Him until after the people heard His teaching.

If you need healing or a miracle from God, you, too, can draw on Jesus’ healing power with your faith. However, the first step is to hear what the Word of God says. You must hear it and hear it with your physical ears until you can hear it with your spiritual ears. As the healing virtue flowed out of Jesus then, it still flows out of Him today—activated by your faith.

CONFESSION:

The same virtue that flowed out of Jesus to heal the multitude heals me now as I hear the Word and draw on His power; Jesus is the same now as He was ten. He was the healer then, and He’s still my healer today.
