David said in Psalm 5:3 "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." I think like the father in the prodigal son story in Luke 15. This father was watching/expecting his son to return (one-day). When you got saved, how did you know? You just believed it and said yes - amen its mine. The moment you sinned, did you doubt your salvation? Healing and Salvation are the same "Sozo" word. We seem to have no problem believing our sins are forgiven but have a hard time believing we are healed! When JESUS walked on the earth, they had no problem believing JESUS healed but stumbled and refused to believe that HE can forgive sins (the opposite).
They complained that ONLY GOD can forgive sins. "“Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Mark 2:7
I think we struggle at times believing the good news (gospel) at how good it really is. Its supposed to be so good that you can't contain it. Its supposed to be so good, you cant help talking about it to everyone. Its supposed to be so good you would praise GOD and cheer when in prison (chains-Paul did)... So that your faith isn't based on some amazing prophets words, my words, some pastors words, or even the words of the bible but that your faith would rest on the SPIRIT'S power.
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power. 1 Corinthians 2:5 Too many churchy folks are trying to rest their faith on what someone said or some pastors word-of-faith, rather link back and remember seeing a time of GODs power, some miracle and say like David - I have killed lions and bears, (protecting his sheep) and I will do the same to this pagan Philistine, who has defied the army of the living God. 1 Samuel 17:36
