The evidence of ownership
How do you provide proof of ownership of your home? You exhibit your [deed] as evidence thereof. Faith is our title deed to our healing. Jesus said over and over again; “He that believeth, hath.” In my Bible (NKJV), Hebrews 11 (a.k.a., the faith chapter) is titled; By Faith We Understand and in verse 3 it explains; “By faith we understand that the worlds were formed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” I interpret this to mean; we understand or receive by exhibiting our faith. Moffatt’s translation of Hebrews 11:1 reads: “Faith means that we are…convinced of what we do not see.”
Do you believe God has power to forgive you of your sins? Faith for His healing is the same as having faith for His forgiveness. Believe…on the authority of God’s Word. This you can know; long before you felt forgiven you were!
By this example; if your rich uncle dies leaving all his wealth to you in his will, the moment he dies you have his wealth, even though you haven’t seen a dime of the inheritance! Applying this truth, everything in our Lord’s last will and testament is already ours by virtue of the death of Jesus. Faith allows us to have what is already ours.
We have forgiveness before we feel we have it. Healing is the same as forgiveness. Again, Jesus said we are to believe we “have received” our healing at the same time we pray for it, before we see it or feel it. In Hebrews 10:35, the Holy Spirit tells us not to cast away our confidence, which has great reward. He says, “For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.”
Believe that your prayer has been granted when you pray, that you already have what you prayed for before you see it. When you do this you are exhibiting the “confidence” referred to in (1 John 5:14-15): “We know that we have the petitions we have desired of Him.”
