Healing Hindrances
Feb. 14, 2007
God has given the healing power. We have the problem if we are not getting healed. It is no different than salvation, all are supposed to receive it.
Unbelief
Mat 13:58 KJV
(58) And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Mat 17:20 KJV
(20) And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Unbelief is the opposite of faith. Faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God. Unbelief is listening to the reports of the world. We cannot escape them, but we have to decide which report to believe, God or the worlds. Faith is the gas pedal and unbelief is the break.
Unforgiveness
Mar 11:23-25 KJV
(23) For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
(24) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
(25) And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Jam 5:16 KJV
(16) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Unforgiveness will block so many areas of your life. It can rob the reward that you can have in your giving. Like that, it can also hinder your healing blessings. Job got his healing, at the end of the book, when he forgave his friends.
Harboring Sin
Psa 66:18 KJV
(18) If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:
God can not hear you if you have sin in your life. You cannot justify sin to God. If you are in sin, God will not hear your prayers for healing. This is unconfessed sin.
Jam 4:3 KJV
(3) Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
If what you are asking for is something that you will use for your own lust. God does not care what you have as long as it does not have you. You need to be sold out to God.
You do not have fervency in your life
Heb 11:6 KJV
(6) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
God wants us to ask Him diligently. It is not something that we just flippantly ask for something. You need to be that way to stand up against what the devil fervenantly is throwing at you. God was diligent in seeking you, you need to do the same with Him. The people cried out to Jesus for healing, and He heard them over the crowds. That was not some quiet prayer.
People preoccupied with watching their symptoms
2Co 4:18 KJV
(18) While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Do not look at the circumstances but look upon God. If you focus on the temporary, you cannot receive the eternal. This does not mean to not look at the symptoms, but you thank God that they are changing.
Discouragement while waiting, cast away confidence
Heb 10:35 KJV
(35) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
You will have a great payday (recompense) coming from your heavenly boss. Why do you have confidence in your earthly boss and not the Godly one?
Heb 3:14 KJV
(14) For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end;
All the things we trust God for after salvation is the time of our confidence. Keep eye on word of God. Confess it every day.
Many believe they are healed when they see it and that is not the way it works
Mar 11:24 KJV
(24) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
You believe when you pray, not when the symptoms disappear.
Failure to make the word of God personal
The word is as much for us as it was for the people that it was written to at the time. Mark 11:24 points to you.
