Faith, Belief and Unbelief

Matthew 17:14-21 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.” 17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

​

When we first became born again Christians, we received the measure of faith but most Christians never understand that you have to nurture your faith from glory to glory, line upon line and precept upon precept for it to grow. In most cases this takes years because you've got to learn the word of God and this takes time. Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 

 

Galatians 2:16 & 20 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

​

If you are a Christian and you’re not receiving the kind of results that the Bible teaches to us, it might just be our unbelief. Unbelief mixed with faith will never bring you success.

Believe That This is the Works of God!

John 10:37-38 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”

 

Jesus drew large crowds to Himself because of the Healing, Deliverance and that raising from the dead power within Him, from God. These miracles drew people to Jesus. I have heard some people say that if a man commands healing to come forth as he is praying for someone in need, that this is of the devil-that satan can also heal. Well then ask them to prove that but they cannot. When I first started talking in tongues people told me (including a pastor) that this was of the devil. I showed them this scripture in 1 Corinthians 14:39 Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. They walked away not saying another word. I also said that Jesus gave all Christians a command to Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give, Matthew 10:8. Jesus told man this, not devils. Jesus got the same treatment from people while He was on this earth. You will also get treated the same way as you grow in your Christian walk.

  

Do Not Neglect Salvation

Hebrews 2:3-4 How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will? 

 

Mark 16:15-20 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. 

 

Did you notice that Jesus was still working with all of His Apostles after He ascended into Heaven with signs and wonders.  Jesus is still doing this today with all Christians that will work in the way that He instructs us to work in His word.  Jesus is still working with all who will believe just as He says in Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.  This means Jesus has not changed at all and never will.  We are the ones that have changed and the church is almost exactly as the world is today.  That's why signs and wonders are not happening at all or not very often like they should in most churches. The church has become complacent. 

​

John 21:24-25 This is the disciple who testifies of these things and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true. And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen

​

Note: The Greek word “Sozo” pronounced Sode’-zo Translated as heal or healed, to make or made whole, salvation, saved or to save, delivered.  Scriptural Examples:

Matthew 9:20-21 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” Mark 5:25-28 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour. Mark 5:34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” 

 

James 5:14-15 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.  1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed. = SOZO  

 

2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered = SOZO Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. = SOZO Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. 

 

Matthew 8:14-15 Peters Mother in law healed = SOZO Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever. So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.  Matthew 8:16-17 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah in Isaiah 53:4 the prophet, saying: “ He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.” = SOZO 

 

Speaking In Tongues

Jude 1:20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, (That's Speaking In Tongues).

 

God gave all Christians the Gifts of the Spirit when we were born again.  Some are stronger than others in the body of Christ-The True Church.

Spiritual Gifts: Unity in Diversity in One Body

1 Corinthians 12:1-14 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. 12 For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For in fact the body is not one member but many.

 

1 Corinthians 14:1-3, 18-20, 27-28, 33 & 39 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. 18-20, I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all; 19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. 20 Brethren, do not be children in understanding; however, in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature. 27-28, If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God.  33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. 39 Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.

  

Jesus tells us not to forbid anyone for speaking in tongues.  Then why does the church not teach this.  In most cases I've witnessed the church speaking against speaking in tongues.  They teach the opposite of whats in the word of God in many lessons and ways of the Lord Jesus.  I've witnessed in my lifetime, that the devil has been in control of most of the church.  There sure is a lot of evidence of this today just as it was in the days of Jesus. 

 

I was not raised in a church denomination that taught speaking in tongues. Most pastors would read these scriptures sometimes but never spoke about this. Once I acknowledged that I had this gift after I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, I started using this gift. I soon learned that when you start laying your hands on people and commanding healing, deliverance, miracles or just praying for them, that demonic forces would come up against me in strong numbers sometimes that would hinder my thoughts and speech (blocker demons). Please understand this, that the devil doesn’t want anyone healed and be free of him. He will do anything that he can to hinder your healing and deliverance process. I learned to speak in tongues when this happens, thus allowing my thoughts and speech process to clear up immediately.  I am strengthened, thus allowing the power of God to flow more freely.

Soul vs. Spirit

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 

​

Read the following scriptures. The Bible tells us that the soul is the part of you that you received in you mothers whom. 

 

Soul Example

When you react to bad feelings, you feel pain, bitterness, shame, depression, anger, sadness etc. This is you’re soul. The Flesh.

 

Spirit Example

You receive the spirit only when you’re Born Again and there becomes a fine line between you’re soul and spirit. Your Spirit is protected and cannot be penetrated. God only sees us in the Spirit and sees us as perfect. This happened under the atonement of Jesus Christ, about two thousand years ago. Look at the scriptures. John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

 

The Promise Granted Through Faith

Romans 4:13-25 For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, 15 because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression. 16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

​

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. Ephesians 1:3-6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

 

Speak Faith out and know what you have! You don’t have a faith problem; you have a knowledge problem. In order to see your faith work, you need to understand and acknowledge what you have. The Apostle Paul Prayed in Philemon 1:6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

 

God provided us Grace for free and as believers it is our responsibility to receive this gift by Faith. It is just this simple. Gods part is Grace and our part if Faith. God is so awesome! He made this so easy for all of us.

Position to Receive from God

This will place you in a "Position to Receive". God has already done everything to heal everyone. You must believe this always. Think about the scripture below and how this is past tense. It’s already happened for everyone on this earth and for all believers that will ever be on this earth. All anyone has to do is just receive this. 1 Peter 2:24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

 

It's not a matter of asking the Lord to heal, but rather our receiving the healing. God has already given healing to us. That's the basic principle, but there are laws that govern how this works. You have to acknowledge it by speaking it. So I talk to the specific parts of people's bodies and command them to respond and adhere to the Word of God. I take authority over the devil (this shows you the demonic presence in sickness or disease).

 

Sometimes I do things to strengthen the other person's faith or belief. I don't do all of these things to manipulate God but to help people move into a position to receive. While ministering to other people, there are things you can do that will strengthen their belief. Sometimes I discern unbelief while praying for someone. It may not be evil or disbelief, but maybe this person is just dominated by natural things. If they’re having a hard time receiving healing from God, I’ll just push over into a gift of the spirit. Then, using a word of wisdom or a word knowledge, I’ll talk to them about something emotional and perhaps about how they’ve been hurt in the past.  Maybe depression, grief, or tragedy had struck. So I will use this gift of the Spirit to speak to them on something totally unrelated to their physical healing. Then they start receiving, saying in their heart that “there’s no way he could have known this and God is speaking to me through this man”. All at once they open their self up and their faith starts flowing. Once their faith is strengthened, their heart says, yes, this is God. Father I receive all that you have for me.

Jesus Healed All

Remember the Greek word "SOZO"

John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Matthew 4:23-24 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.

​

Matthew 8:16-17

When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.” Matthew 9:35-38 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”

​

Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. Matthew 14:14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. Matthew 14:34-36 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick, and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well. Matthew 15:30-31 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. Matthew 19:2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there. Matthew 21:14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

​

I used these scriptures to teach that most of the ministry of Jesus Christ while on this earth was healing all people that He came in contact with that wanted it. Not just some people, but all who wanted healing. Many churches today and for the last several decades have been teaching that Divine healing doesn’t happen today, that somehow this stopped happening when all of the Apostles died. This is not scriptural. This is a lie of the devil and most Christians have bought right into this lie. I personally know that this is a lie because I have seen thousands of people healed and set free from the devil. Signs, Wonders and Miracles follow me everyday. If you’re not getting this kind of results you should study the Word of God and learn the truths that I have learned. There is nothing hard about this. All that you have to do is take the time each day to get into Gods Word. Ask God for the revelations of His Word and He will give it to you over and over again.

William

 

Look at the scripture below in John 14:12. Jesus is telling all believers that we are going to do greater works than He did while on this earth.

 

John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

 

Well what did Jesus do while He was on this earth? In Acts 10:38, God said that Jesus healed all that were oppressed by the devil. Not just some but all! Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.  How do you miss this? I put these two scriptures in this lesson twice so that you would not miss this. Did someone help you miss this, or do you only believe what you choose to believe?

 

Spiritual Wisdom

1 Corinthians 2:6-16 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
