Only His FAITH Heals and Delivers

A Preview of the Coming Kingdom

A Woman Touches the Edge of His Garment

Mark 5:25-34 “A woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was not helped at all, but instead had become worse— after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak. For she was saying, ‘If I just touch His garments, I will get well.’ And immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her suffering.

And immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, ‘Who touched My garments?’ And His disciples said to Him, ‘You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, “Who touched Me?”’ And He looked around to see the woman who had done this.

But the woman, fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. And He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.’”

“Your faith has made you well.”

Wait. Stop. Let’s examine this carefully.

What Faith? Whose Faith?

The woman said: “If I just touch His garments, I will get well.”

Her faith was not in her own ability. Her faith was not in her own goodness. Her faith was not in religious rituals or human physicians (they had all failed).

Her faith was IN HIM ALONE.

She believed that HE had the power to heal. That HE was sufficient. That touching even the edge of His garment would be enough.

And Jesus said: “Your faith has made you well.”

But was it really HER faith? Or was it THE faith - the faith that comes FROM Jesus, directed BACK to Jesus?

Romans 10:17 - “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.”

Faith comes FROM hearing about CHRIST. The woman heard about Jesus. Faith arose IN her. She acted on that faith. She was healed.

But the source of the faith was JESUS HIMSELF.

Power Went Out From Him

Notice something critical: “Jesus, perceiving in Himself that power had gone out of Him.”

The power came FROM Jesus. Not from her. FROM HIM.

Her faith was the connection point. Her faith was the receptacle. Her faith was the conduit.

But the POWER that healed was HIS power.

This is how THE faith heals and delivers:

Jesus is the source of the power

Faith connects you to that power

The faith itself comes FROM Jesus (you hear about Him, faith arises)

You act on that faith (reach out, touch, call out)

His power flows through the faith connection

Healing and deliverance occur

It’s all FROM Him, THROUGH faith, BACK to Him.

The Two Gentiles Who Made Jesus Marvel

The Roman Centurion - Matthew 8:5-13

“And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him, and saying, ‘Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, suffering great pain.’ Jesus said to him, ‘I will come and heal him.’

But the centurion replied, ‘Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, “Go!” and he goes, and to another, “Come!” and he comes, and to my slave, “Do this!” and he does it.’

Now when Jesus heard this, He was amazed and said to those who were following, ‘Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel.’ And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; but the sons of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

And Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed.’ And the servant was healed at that very moment.”

The Canaanite Woman - Matthew 15:21-28

“Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely demon-possessed.’

But He did not answer her with even a word. And His disciples came up and urged Him, saying, ‘Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us.’ But He answered and said, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’

But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, ‘Lord, help me!’ But He answered and said, ‘It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.’ But she said, ‘Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed from the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.’

Then Jesus responded and said to her, ‘O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.’ And her daughter was healed at once.”

What Made Jesus Marvel? What Was This “Great Faith”?

Two Gentiles. Two non-Jews. Two people OUTSIDE the covenant.

And Jesus marveled at their faith. He found GREATER faith in Gentiles than in all of Israel.

What was this faith?

Faith IN HIM ALONE

The Centurion: “Lord, I am not worthy…but just say the WORD.”

He understood authority. He understood that Jesus didn’t need to perform rituals. Didn’t need to touch. Didn’t need to be physically present.

Just say the WORD and my servant will be healed.

His faith was in THE WORD OF JESUS. In His authority. In His power. In His sufficiency.

1. The Canaanite Woman: “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David.”

She called Him LORD. She called Him Son of David (Messianic title). She acknowledged His identity, His authority, His power.

Even when He seemed to reject her, she persisted. Even when He called her a “dog” (testing her), she said: “Even the dogs feed from the crumbs from their masters’ table.”

She believed that even CRUMBS from Jesus were enough. Even the smallest portion of His power was sufficient to deliver her daughter.

Her faith was IN HIM ALONE.

2. Faith That Understood Jesus’s Authority

Both the Centurion and the Canaanite woman understood something that most of Israel missed:

Jesus has ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY.

The Centurion understood authority structures. He knew that when someone in authority speaks, it happens. No negotiation. No possibility of failure. It just happens.

And he recognized that Jesus had ultimate authority - even over sickness, demons, and death itself.

“Just say the WORD.”

That’s faith in His authority.

The Canaanite woman understood that Jesus was LORD - the Master who had authority even over demons that were tormenting her daughter.

Both believed: His WORD is enough. His AUTHORITY is sufficient.

3. Faith With No Self-Righteousness

The Centurion: “Lord, I am not worthy.”

He didn’t claim to deserve healing. He didn’t present his resume. He didn’t argue that he was a good person or that he’d earned God’s favor.

“I am not worthy.”

This is the opposite of self-righteousness. This is humility. This is recognizing: I have no claim. I have no rights. I am not worthy. But YOU are merciful.

The Canaanite Woman: “Yes, Lord; but even the dogs…”

She accepted His designation. She didn’t argue. She didn’t defend herself. She didn’t claim to be worthy.

She simply said: Even dogs get crumbs. And Your crumbs are enough.

No self-righteousness. No self-justification. Just humble, persistent faith IN HIM.

4. Faith That Believed JESUS IS ENOUGH

This is the core: Both believed that JESUS ALONE was sufficient.

Not Jesus + rituals.
Not Jesus + their own goodness.
Not Jesus + anything else.

JESUS ALONE.

And this is what made Him marvel.

“I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel.”

-----

The Pattern: Faith IN HIM Alone Heals and Delivers

Throughout the Gospels, This Pattern Repeats

Matthew 9:28-29 - Two blind men come to Jesus.

“And after He came into the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord.’ Then He touched their eyes, saying, ‘It shall be done for you according to your faith.’ And their eyes were opened.”

“Do you believe that I AM ABLE?”

That’s the question. That’s what faith answers.

“Yes, Lord.” (Faith in HIM)

“According to your faith.” (The faith that recognizes HIS ability, HIS power, HIS sufficiency)

-----

Mark 9:23-24 - A father brings his demon-possessed son.

“And Jesus said to him, ‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes.’ Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, ‘I do believe; help my unbelief!’”

“All things are possible for the one who believes.”

Believes WHAT? Believes IN WHOM?

Believes that JESUS CAN DO IT. That with Jesus, all things are possible.

And the father’s honest cry: “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

This is not perfect faith. This is messy, honest, struggling faith. But it’s faith IN JESUS. And Jesus responds.

The demon is cast out. The boy is delivered.

-----

Matthew 9:2 - Paralytic on a stretcher.

“And they brought to Him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a stretcher. And seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man who was paralyzed, ‘Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven.’”

Seeing THEIR faith - the faith of the friends who brought him.

Faith that believed: If we can just get him to JESUS, he will be healed.

And Jesus responds - first forgiving sins (the root issue), then healing the body (the symptom).

-----

Luke 7:50 - The sinful woman who anointed Jesus’s feet.

“And He said to the woman, ‘Your faith has saved you; go in peace.’”

“Your faith has saved you.”

Again, faith IN HIM. She came to HIM. She anointed HIM. She worshiped HIM.

And He pronounced: “Your faith has saved you.”

Not her works. Not her religious performance. Her faith - directed at JESUS.

-----

The Consistent Pattern

In every case of healing and deliverance in the Gospels:

The person came TO Jesus (or was brought to Him)

They believed IN Him - His power, His authority, His sufficiency

Jesus responded to their faith - “Your faith has made you well”

The healing/deliverance occurred - BY HIS POWER, THROUGH faith

The faith was always IN HIM ALONE.

The power was always FROM HIM.

The result was always healing and deliverance.

-----

Why Faith Heals and Delivers

Faith Is the Connection to His Power

Think of it like electricity:

Jesus is the power source - infinite power, always available.

Faith is the wire - it connects you to the source.

Healing/deliverance is the result - power flows through the connection and produces the result.

Without the connection (faith), the power doesn’t flow.

With the connection (faith), the power flows and healing occurs.

John 15:4-5 - “Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself but must remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”

Apart from Him: NOTHING.

In Him, connected by faith: MUCH FRUIT (including healing and deliverance).

Faith Accesses What Jesus Already Accomplished

This is critical to understand:

Jesus didn’t earn the power to heal during His earthly ministry. He already HAD it.

Jesus didn’t become qualified to deliver during His ministry. He already WAS qualified.

Healing and deliverance flow from WHO HE IS, not from what He earned.

And at the cross, He purchased complete healing and complete deliverance for all who would believe.

Isaiah 53:4-5 - “However, it was our sicknesses that He Himself bore, and our pains that He carried; yet we ourselves assumed that He had been afflicted, struck down by God, and humiliated. But He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; the punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.”

By His wounds we ARE healed. (Present tense - already accomplished)

Matthew 8:16-17 - “When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill. This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled: ‘He Himself took our illnesses and carried away our diseases.’”

Jesus fulfilled Isaiah 53 during His earthly ministry, demonstrating what would be fully purchased at the cross.

1 Peter 2:24 - “and He Himself brought our sins in His body up on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; by His wounds you were healed.”

You WERE healed. (Past tense - already accomplished at the cross)

So why do we still get sick? Why do we still need healing?

Because we live in fallen bodies in a fallen world BEFORE the full manifestation of what Christ purchased.

But through faith, we can ACCESS what He purchased. We can experience NOW what will be fully realized THEN in the Kingdom.

Faith is the access point to what He already accomplished.

-----

We All Need Healing and Deliverance

Mind, Body, and Soul Under Constant Attack

This is the reality we must acknowledge:

We are at war.

Ephesians 6:12 - “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

We are under constant attack from:

1. The World System - Lies, deception, false values, materialistic thinking, SELF-centered philosophies

2. The Flesh - Our fallen nature, sinful desires, broken thinking patterns, physical sickness, inherited weaknesses

3. The Devil and His Forces - Demonic oppression, spiritual warfare, attacks on mind and body, accusations, temptations

1 Peter 5:8 - “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”

The Attacks We Don’t Even Realize

Most of the attacks are subtle. We don’t recognize them as attacks.

Attacks on the MIND:

- Intrusive thoughts
- Lies about God’s character
- Lies about your identity
- Depression, anxiety, fear
- Confusion, mental fog
- Addictive thought patterns
- Shame, guilt, condemnation

Attacks on the BODY:

- Sickness, disease
- Physical pain
- Chronic conditions
- Exhaustion, fatigue
- Sleep disturbances
- Inherited weaknesses manifesting

Attacks on the SOUL:

- Spiritual oppression
- Demonic harassment
- Feeling distant from God
- Inability to pray or worship
- Overwhelming emotions
- Trauma responses
- Generational bondages

We are living in a fallen world, in fallen bodies, surrounded by dark forces, while Satan wields his lawlessness, rebellion, and evil.

We ALL need healing. We ALL need deliverance.

As Citizens of Heaven, Strangers and Aliens on Earth

Our True Identity: Not of This World

Philippians 3:20 - “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly await for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

We are citizens of HEAVEN.
We are strangers on earth.

Hebrews 11:13-16 - “All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen and welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. And indeed if they had been thinking of that country which they left, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they long for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.”

Strangers and exiles on earth.
Longing for a better country - a heavenly one.

1 Peter 2:11 - “Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul.”

Foreigners and strangers.

This world is not our home. We are passing through. We are ambassadors from another Kingdom.

Christ’s Ambassadors - 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 - “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin in our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

We are ambassadors for Christ.

An ambassador represents another kingdom. An ambassador lives in a foreign land but carries the authority and resources of their home nation.

We are ambassadors from the Kingdom of Heaven, living temporarily on fallen earth, carrying the authority and resources of our King.

And here’s the stunning truth: “We might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

We ARE MADE the righteousness of God IN CHRIST.

Not “we try to be righteous.” Not “we work toward righteousness.”

WE ARE MADE the righteousness of God.

This is our identity. This is who we are. This is our authority.

Jesus Said: “In That Day…”

John 14:12-14

“Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.”

“Greater works than these he will do.”

Wait. Greater works than JESUS did?

How is that possible?

John 16:23-24

“And on that day you will ask Me no question. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.”

“In that day…”
“Ask anything in My name…”
“He will give it to you…”

What day is Jesus talking about?

Is He Talking About the 1000 Year Reign?

There are layers of fulfillment here:

LAYER 1: After His Resurrection and the Coming of the Holy Spirit

Jesus was about to go to the Father. The Holy Spirit was about to come. The disciples would then operate in His name, with His authority, empowered by His Spirit.

And they DID do greater works - not greater in quality (nothing is greater than what Jesus did), but greater in SCOPE.

- Jesus ministered primarily in Israel; the apostles took the gospel to the whole world

- Jesus personally healed hundreds; through the apostles, thousands came to faith and were healed

- Jesus’s ministry was 3 years; the Church’s ministry has continued for 2000 years

Acts 2:41 - 3000 saved in one day after Peter’s sermon

Acts 5:15-16 - The sick were healed even by Peter’s shadow passing by

Acts 19:11-12 - Handkerchiefs from Paul’s body healed the sick and cast out demons

LAYER 2: The Coming Kingdom - The Ultimate Fulfillment

But there’s a fuller meaning: “In that day” - the day of His Kingdom, the 1000-year reign.

In THAT day:

- We will reign WITH Christ in glorified bodies

- We will have FULL authority delegated from the King

- We will heal and restore ALL of creation

- We will teach survivors how to live in God’s Kingdom

- We will judge angels and govern nations

- Death, sickness, and the curse will be removed progressively until eliminated completely

Isaiah 65:20-25 - “No longer will there be in it an infant who lives only a few days, or an old person who does not live out his days; for the youth will die at the age of a hundred, and the one who does not reach the age of a hundred will be thought accursed…The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox…They will do no evil or harm on all My holy mountain, says the LORD.”

Isaiah 11:6-9 - “And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fattened steer will be together; and a little boy will lead them…They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.”

Zechariah 14:16-19 - Nations will come yearly to worship the King; those who don’t will have no rain.

In THAT day, we will ask the Father in Jesus’s name, and it will be done.

Not because WE are worthy. But because we are operating as Christ’s ambassadors, IN HIS NAME, with HIS authority, for HIS glory, in HIS Kingdom.

The Greater Works

The greater works Jesus spoke of include:

1. Greater Scope - Worldwide impact, not just regional

2. Greater Duration - 2000 years of Church ministry, then 1000 years of Kingdom reign

3. Greater Authority - We will judge angels, rule nations, restore creation

4. Greater Completion - What Jesus inaugurated, we will help complete in the Millennium

Acts 3:21 - “whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things, about which God spoke by the mouths of His holy prophets from ancient times.”

The period of RESTORATION of ALL things.

That’s the 1000-year Kingdom. That’s when everything is restored. That’s when the greater works reach their fullness.

And we - the Bride, the glorified sons of God - will be the administrators of that restoration.

Under Christ’s authority. In His name. By His power. For His glory.

-----

The Coming Kingdom: Results, Benefits, and Realities

For Those Who Are Citizens of Heaven, Ambassadors of Christ

What will the coming Kingdom look like for us?

1. Complete Healing - Glorified Bodies

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 - “Behold, I am telling you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.”

Glorified bodies.
Imperishable.
Immortal.

No more sickness. No more pain. No more physical limitations.

Complete healing in an instant.

Philippians 3:20-21 - “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly await for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform the body of our lowly condition into conformity with His glorious body, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.”

Conformed to HIS glorious body.

Whatever Jesus’s glorified body can do, ours will do. We will be like Him.

2. Complete Deliverance - Free from All Oppression

In glorified bodies, there will be:

- No demonic oppression (we’ll have complete authority over demons)

- No sinful flesh nature (the old man completely gone)

- No temptation that we cannot resist (operating in full righteousness)

- No attacks on mind, body, or soul

- No fear, anxiety, depression

- No trauma, no wounds, no brokenness

Complete deliverance in an instant.

3. Full Authority - Reigning with Christ

Revelation 2:26-27 - “And the one who overcomes, and the one who keeps My works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations; and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father.”

Authority over nations.

Ruling with a rod of iron (righteous, unbreakable rule).

Luke 19:17, 19 - “‘Well done, good servant; since you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to have authority over ten cities.’ And you are to be over five cities.”

Authority over cities.

We will govern, administrate, teach, heal, restore - all under Christ’s supreme authority.

4. Intimate Fellowship - Face to Face with God

Revelation 21:3-4 - “And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.’”

God dwelling AMONG us.
Face to face fellowship.
No more separation.

5. Perfect Peace - The Curse Removed

Revelation 22:3 - “There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him.”

No more curse.

The curse that came through Adam’s sin - removed.

The curse on the ground - removed.

The curse of death - removed.

The curse of sickness - removed.

The curse of evil - removed.

Perfect peace. Perfect righteousness. Perfect joy.

6. Full Knowledge - Understanding All Things

1 Corinthians 13:12 - “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known.”

Then we will know FULLY.

No more confusion. No more questions. No more “Why, God?”

Full understanding. Full knowledge. Full wisdom.

7. Eternal Joy - Joy Made Full

John 15:11 - “These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.”

Psalm 16:11 - “You will make known to me the way of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.”

Fullness of joy.
Pleasures forever.

Not temporary happiness. Eternal joy that never fades.

-----

Previewing the Kingdom Through Faith NOW

We Can Experience Kingdom Reality NOW Through Faith

Here’s the beautiful truth: Through faith, we can experience NOW what will be fully realized THEN.

Not the fullness. Not the perfection. But a foretaste. A preview. A down payment.

2 Corinthians 1:22 - “who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge.”

The Holy Spirit is the PLEDGE - the down payment, the guarantee, the foretaste of what’s coming.

Ephesians 1:13-14 - “In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise, who is a first installment of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.”

First installment of our inheritance.

So through faith, we can experience:

Healing NOW - Not always complete, not always instant, but real healing by His power through faith

Deliverance NOW - Freedom from demonic oppression, freedom from bondages, freedom from fear

Authority NOW - “In My name they will cast out demons” (Mark 16:17)

Peace NOW - “My peace I give to you” (John 14:27)

Joy NOW - “that your joy may be made full” (John 15:11)

Knowledge NOW - “He will guide you into all the truth” (John 16:13)

This is why faith heals and delivers NOW - because faith connects us to the Kingdom reality that is COMING, but can be accessed NOW through THE faith OF Jesus Christ.

-----

How Faith Heals and Delivers: The Complete Picture

Bringing It All Together

HOW does faith heal and deliver?

Faith connects us to Jesus - the source of all healing and deliverance power

Faith comes FROM Jesus - we hear about Him, faith arises in us

Faith is directed TO Jesus - we reach out to Him, call on Him, trust Him alone

Faith accesses what He already accomplished - healing and deliverance were purchased at the cross

Faith taps into Kingdom reality - what WILL BE fully realized THEN can be experienced NOW
through faith

Power flows through faith - His power, not ours; His ability, not ours

Healing and deliverance occur - to the glory of God, by His grace

WHEN does faith heal and deliver?

- Sometimes instantly (woman with hemorrhage, paralytic, blind men)

- Sometimes progressively (ten lepers healed “as they went”)

- Sometimes partially now, fully later (we experience healing but still live in fallen bodies)

- Always ultimately at the Rapture (complete healing, complete deliverance, glorified bodies)

WHAT does faith heal and deliver from?

- Physical sickness and disease
- Demonic oppression and possession
- Mental and emotional bondage
- Spiritual darkness and deception
- Fear, anxiety, depression
- Sin’s power and consequences
- Death itself (ultimate deliverance)

WHY does faith heal and deliver?

To demonstrate God’s power and glory
To authenticate Jesus as Messiah and Lord
To give us a foretaste of the Kingdom
To show God’s mercy and compassion
To build faith in others who see and hear
To equip us for the greater works
To prepare us for reigning in the Kingdom

-----

The Ultimate Healing and Deliverance: The Harpazo

When THE TIME Becomes NOW

Brothers and sisters, we are all under attack. We all need healing. We all need deliverance.

And while we can experience healing and deliverance NOW through faith, the ultimate healing and deliverance comes at the Harpazo.

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye:

- Every sickness healed
- Every demon cast out
- Every bondage broken
- Every fear removed
- Every tear wiped away
- Every pain eliminated
- Every wound restored
- Every brokenness made whole

Complete healing. Complete deliverance. In an instant.

This is what we’re waiting for. This is what creation is groaning for. This is what THE TIME is all about.

Romans 8:22-23 - “For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons and daughters, the redemption of our body.”

Waiting eagerly for the redemption of our body.

That’s the ultimate healing. That’s the ultimate deliverance.

-----

Living as Citizens of Heaven, Ambassadors of Christ

Until THE TIME Comes, We Live by Faith

Until the Harpazo, we live as:

Citizens of Heaven - Our true home, our true identity, our true loyalty

Strangers on Earth - Not attached to this world, not loving this life, not building kingdoms here

Ambassadors of Christ - Representing His Kingdom, carrying His authority, demonstrating His power

Made the Righteousness of God - Not trying to become righteous, but living FROM the righteousness we’ve been given

And we live by THE faith OF the Son of God - accessing healing and deliverance NOW through faith, while we wait for the complete healing and deliverance THEN.

We pray for the sick - in His name.

We cast out demons - in His name.

We speak truth to lies - in His name.

We overcome evil with good - in His name.

We live in victory - in His name.

Not because WE are powerful. But because HE is powerful, and we are connected to Him by faith.

-----

The TIME is NOW. NOW is THE TIME.

The TIME of complete healing approaches.
NOW is the TIME to access healing through faith.

The TIME of ultimate deliverance draws near.
NOW is the TIME to walk in freedom through faith.

The TIME of the Kingdom is coming.
NOW is the TIME to live as Kingdom citizens through faith.

The woman touched His garment - and was healed.

The Centurion believed His word - and his servant was healed.

The Canaanite woman trusted in crumbs - and her daughter was delivered.

They believed IN HIM ALONE.

They accessed His power through faith.

They experienced Kingdom reality in the present age.

And so can we.

Until THE TIME when we receive glorified bodies and complete healing…

Until NOW becomes THEN and we reign with Christ in perfect health…

We live by THE faith OF the Son of God, accessing His healing and deliverance power, as citizens of Heaven and ambassadors of Christ, made the righteousness of God in Him.

-----

Greater works are coming.
The Kingdom is approaching.
THE TIME is NOW.

Are you living by THE faith that heals and delivers?
