“Therefore, I say to you. whatever things you ask when you pray,
believe you receive them, and you will have them."
Mark 11:24
There is a fundamental law of faith that is often overlooked by believers seeking divine healing. That is the principle of believing you have the answer to your prayer when you pray; not when you see or feel it manifest in the natural. In other words, we don't wait until we experience the physical manifestation of our healing before we believe we have received it. Even before your healing is seen or felt, you must believe as though it were already so. God calls it done - so must we.
An excellent illustration of this doctrine can be found in Luke 17:11. One day, as Jesus was headed to Jerusalem, He entered a village where ten men who were lepers met him. Keeping their distance, they cried out for mercy. Jesus responded: "Go show yourselves to the priests." Now in those days, the priest is the one you would call upon in order to verify that you indeed were cleansed and could once again enter society. At Jesus' command, the ten men headed out to show themselves to the priests, while in the natural, it was quite evident that their bodies were still plagued with leprosy. Luke 17:14 attests that "as they went, they were healed." Evidently these men believed they were healed before it was manifest in their bodies.
Many Christians beg and pray for healing for years, but they refuse to believe that they have received their healing until they see it or feel it. Divine healing starts in the spirit realm and works its way out to the physical realm. We, as Christians, walk by faith - not by sight. We are to believe our healing is an accomplished fact when we pray. Ezekiel 17:24 proclaims: "I, the Lord, have spoken and I have done it."
We serve a faithful God and His covenant He will not break, nor alter the Word that has gone out of His mouth. (Psalm 84:34) No matter how long you've been dealing with health challenges, it is never too late to begin believing you have received. Believe God has heard and answered your prayer and watch your healing manifest!
DAILY DECLARATION
Standing on the Word of God, I believe I have received healing for my body - from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet. In God's mind it is already done, so I endeavor to be steadfast in believing I have received; no matter how long it takes or what I see or feel. I have received my healing in Jesus' Name!
