Keep Teaching Others How To Be Healed

Now He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief. Then He went about the villages in a circuit, teaching. -Mark 6:5-7

Jesus had gone into His own hometown, and the power of God was present to heal. Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, but just a few in Nazareth received their healing. Most of them wouldn’t receive because their unbelief was so strong. So what was Jesus’ solution to that situation? (Remember, there is a connection between hearing and healing.) “He went about the village, teaching.” (v. 6).

When Jesus couldn’t get anything else to happen, He taught. Jesus did that all through His ministry. When He encountered the hard places, He’d just lean back and teach. When people weren’t receiving their healing, when He couldn’t do any mighty works, when no gifts of the Spirit were operating and no one was receiving the anointing, Jesus would teach and teach and teach.

Jesus is our example. When people won’t receive, just keep teaching. That was a major part of Jesus’ ministry, because when He taught people, they were healed. The only way to cure unbelief is to keep teaching the Word. Someone will take hold of it because there’s a connection between hearing and being healed.

CONFESSION:

As the Word becomes life and healing in me, I can teach others. The healing power of the Word works in all who hear.
