Faith to Receive- Here’s How 10-7-18
Acts 2:17-21
Acts 1:8
Eph 3:20
Matt 17:20
‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.(the anointing) In those days I will pour out my Spirit on those who are serving me
But YOU will receive power (the anointing) when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Joel 2
Acts 2
In the last days I will pour out my spirit (Anointing)
Fresh infilling of Holy Spirit
Turn to someone and say
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL
“On earth as it is in heaven”
We first breakthrough in the spiritual real
Then we see it in the physical realm
We continue: Living in the Power of the Holy Spirit
The key to seeing breakthrough in your life- The Gifts of the Holy Spirit
Many Christians have an understanding of 2 persons in the Trinity
God is:
Father
Almighty
Jesus is:
Son of God
Came to die for us
Gave us eternal life
But Holy Spirit?
The connection between us and God
Allows us to move in the power of Jesus
He’s “Jesus without boundaries”
Our focus has been on:
POWER GIFTS:

We saw
The Lord’s first instruction to His disciples was “heal the sick”
Matt 10:5-8
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: … 7 As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons.
Immediately after Pentecost we see believers
- healing the sick
- raising the dead
- casting out evil spirits
We’ve looked at: Ingredients of Healing (What releases the Power of God)
We looked at: Posturing for Healing (How to receive your healing)
Important …I said
You have to believe
God To You
In order to see
God Through You
Jesus said
Matt 21:22
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Mark 9:23
Everything is possible for those who only believe
Next
I want us to examine: How to Step Into Healing Releasing Faith (How to receive healing)
Let’s begin with
Reasons why people fail to move in the healing anointing
- Unaware that God still heals today
- Unaware of our position as Christians
- Unbelief – doubt, skepticism
- Unworthiness – to be used by God
- Fear – failure, rejection, make a mistake
- Lack of anointing- only selected people, must be totally healthy to pray, disruptive issues
- Lack of knowledge
- Lack of faith
- Failure to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit (discernment)
Let’s look at: How to step into“healing releasing faith”
- Present yourself to the Lord
Enter into His presence
Proclaim His Lordship -Focus
Praise & Worship

Fear
timidity
doubt

Heb 3: 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.

- Ask to see from the Lord’s perspective
John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

- Ask for increase of faith
Move into the miracle zone
Eph 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us
Matt 17:20 I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
- Agree with the Word
1 John 5:14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us-whatever we ask-we know that we have what we asked of him.
Matt 21:22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours
- Step out in Faith
Requires action
Matt 14:28-29 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”29 “Come,” he said.
Heb 11:1-2
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.
4 By faith Abel
5 By faith Enoch
7 By faith Noah,
8 By faith Abraham,
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
- Release the Word of God
Matt 17:20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart

Isa 55:11 So is my word …It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
- Stand in Faith believing

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Mark 16:15-18
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. .. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; …. they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
