Call Forth Your Miracle by Faith
(As it is
written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him
whom he believed God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which
do not exist as though they did… -Romans 4:17
Our faith has
to speak if we’re going to see results. God calls those things which be not as
though they were. Abraham called those things which were not as though they
were. Certainly, if our heavenly Father and the father of our faith operated in
this kind of faith, we ought to do the same!
“Call those
things which be not…” To call, you have to say. Speak out loud, calling
those things which are not in your life as though they were.
Which of God’s
blessings is not in your life? Is healing not in your life? Then call it as
though it were. “Everywhere I go, healing and health are overtaking me, causing
my body to be strong, healthy and whole!”
Someone may
ask, “Is that scriptural?” I like what Joel said, “Let the weak say I am strong”
(Joel 3:10) He didn’t say, “Let the weak say I’m weak and unworthy, I’ll never
make it.” No, the weak are supposed to say they are strong! So calling
those things that are not as though they were is very scriptural!
And the weak
aren’t supposed to wait until they feel strong! If they did that, they would
never feel it. No, let the weak say, “I am strong” while they still feel weak.
Why is that?
Because with your mouth, confession is made unto the manifestation of God’s
Word in your life. (Rom 10:10.) So continually call your body healed as though
it already were. The time will come when you experience the manifestation
of your miracle in your physical body.
CONFESSION:
My Father
has given me all thoughts that pertain to life and godliness. Jesus took my sin
and sickness and gave me His righteousness and health. Therefore, I call my
body healed. I call my body strong. I call myself the blessed of the Lord!
Making A Statement of Fact
Paul, a
bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of
God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness,
in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.
-Titus 1:1,2
Someone may
say, “If I say I believe I’m healed when I still feel sick, that’s a lie.”
No, it isn’t.
Number one, it’s calling those things which be not as though they were. (Rom.
4:17.) If that’s lying, then God lies all the time, and He can’t.
Number two, it’s
a statement of fact. If I say, I believe I’m healed, all I’m doing is telling
you what I believe. However, if I say, “No, I have no symptoms in my body,”
when I do have symptoms, that’s a lie. Or if I say, “I have $100 bills
in my pocket,” when I don’t, that’s a lie. But if I say, “I believe I’m healed
by the stripes of Jesus’ back.” I’m making a statement of truth because I do
believe it.
You can believe
anything you want to believe. If you choose to believe what God says above what
the symptoms are telling you, is that a lie? No, that’s truth. When you say, “I
believe I’m healed,” you’re making a statement of fact.
In His prayer
to the Father, Jesus said, “Your word is truth” (John 17:17). Then in
Romans 3:4, Paul says, “Yes, let God be true, but every man a liar.” And
Hebrews 6:18 states that it is impossible for God to lie. So when you choose to
believe what God says, you come in line with the highest form of truth in the
universe—the Word of God, which has been exalted above His name! (Ps. 138:2.)
CONFESSION:
I believe I’m
healed. I believe God’s healing power is working in my body now, driving out
every symptom and making my body completely whole!
